2009 Lexus GX 470
The new, mid-size SUV from Lexus, the 2009 GX 470!
For those seeking an SUV with the versatility to handle both off-road trails and city pavement, the 2009 Lexus GX 470 does just that, and with impeccable style and class to top it off!
The GX 470 displays remarkable handling and responsive acceleration both on and off the pavement thanks to its sporty platform, which it shares with Toyota's capable off-roaders, the 4Runner and the FJ Cruiser. Also, you easily maneuver around those ultra-tight parking lots, which is a constant problem for more massive sport utility vehicles, thanks to the GX 470's sleek, mid-size stature.
Feel free to explore the road less traveled on because the GX 470 is well-equipped with a number of safety and security features to ensure that you stay out of harms way. Standard antilock disc brakes, front-seat side airbags, roll-sensing side curtain airbags for the first and second rows, raction control, stability control, downhill assist control and hill-start assist control are some, but not all, of the GX 470's long list of safety and performance features. All of these features, as well as the optional Lexus Link communications system and navigation system with rearview camera, ensure that you have a safe, smoothe ride.
Like any other Lexus vehicle which feature immaculate and luxurious interiors, the 2009 GX 470 follows the trend of opulence. A supple leather and rich wood trim offers a comfortable and inviting cabin space, which has plenty of room to sit up to 7 people with the optional third-row seating. The optional navigation system comes with a high-resolution display, voice activation, iPod integration and phone book synchronization via Bluetooth as an added entertainment and communication feature.
Last, but certainly not least, 263 horsepower and 323 pound-feet of torque are delivered by means of the GX 470's powerful 4.7-liter V8 engine. Also, four-wheel-drive capabilities are achieved thanks to a dual-range transfer case which routes power from the five-speed automatic transmission. And, when properly equipped, the GX 470 offers a towing capacity up to 6,500 pounds!
All in all, it's easy to see why the 2009 Lexus GX 470 remains the top choice in luxury, mid-size SUV's!
