2016 Lexus GS Sedan and LX SUV Get a Makeover - ConsumerReports.org
All versions of the GS get the blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert system as standard equipment, and the Lexus Safety System + is optional. Safety System + includes collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic braking and lane-departure warning with steering assist. Beyond the freshened styling, the LX also gets the eight-speed automatic, which helps boost the EPA fuel economy by an estimated 1 mpg to 13 mpg city/18 mpg highway. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and the Lexus Safety System + are both standard. Inside, the LX has been upgraded with a new 12. 3-inch infotainment display and the Remote Touch interface. Both the GS and LX are available with the Lexus Enform Remote, which is an app-based system (for iOS and Android) that gives the user the ability to start or stop the engine and climate system remotely, monitor “guest” drivers, remotely... The system is used in conjunction with the Lexus Enform Safety Connect and Enform Remote subscriptions, both of which are complementary for one year. I owe my career to two fateful events: my father buying a 1965 Corvette and my purchase of an Audi A4 rather than a Chevy Tahoe. The Corvette jump-started my love of cars, and the Audi led me to automotive journalism, track days, and amateur car repair. Source: www.consumerreports.org
