Toyota has updated its luxury Lexus LS430 sedan for 2004 but it’s likely only enthusiasts of the brand will be able to pick the difference at a glance.
There are new I-AFS (Intelligent Adaptive Front-lighting System) steering-linked headlamps and slightly restyled front sheet metal, new boot lid trim, LED tail and stop lamps and twin exhaust outlets.
The existing 32-valve, 4.3-litre V8 is combined with a new electronically-controlled six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift lock mode.
The suspension has new bearings, retuned bushes, a long wheel stroke and redesigned shock absorbers to achieve increased ride comfort, stability and responsiveness.
Driver and front seat passenger knee airbags have been added inside, and new hands-free technology recognises around 300 spoken commands. Bluetooth technology allows cable-free use of personal data and mobile phone equipment.
