The said Mark Templin, Lexus vice president of brand, has confirmed the plan.
But he himself admits Templin is a difficult decision when the last two generations of the Lexus GX has gained no less successful in the market. "The GX has brought its revenue for Lexus. No one wants to lose the traditional structure of GX," Mr. Templin said.
In addition, the company Lexus has other reasons to hesitate in the use of instant body structure for the next generation GX. Specifically, the luxury car company payroll Toyota does not want to affect the sales of smaller cars RX. Last year alone brought in 82,595 RX customers for its Lexus.
Lexus GX next generation is likely to use instant body structure.
The reason companies like Lexus abandoned structures left for close-cement pedestal base vehicle chassis associated with many advantages such as reduced weight and fuel consumption levels and significantly improved driving characteristics. For its part, leaving the structure is close-xi strengths as the ability to drag-and off-road better.
At the media event, he told Templin also revealed Wards Auto plans new search engine of the Lexus. "We intend to use for turbocharged cars in the future," Mr. Templin said.
According to Templin, Lexus of course the company will remain loyal to the V6 engine, naturally aspirated 3.5-liter as the type currently used on the ES 350. The engine above "produce more power and fuel economy significantly" compared with 4-cylinder, turbocharged rivals that of the ES 350 as Mercedes-Benz C250 is used.
