Power and performance

Lexus engineering for optimum performance, ride comfort and efficiency can be found throughout the powertrain – from the Variable Valve Timing with intelligence and electric camshaft control (VVT-iE) and acoustic control induction system (ACIS) to the Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence (ETCS-i), two-way direct and port fuel injection and more.
 
In the all-wheel-drive models, the engine produces up to 357 horsepower and up to 344 lb-ft of torque and a fuel efficiency rating of 11.3 L per 100 KM (combined city/highway).

Lexus technologies provide an exceptionally smooth and comfortable ride.
