Extra goodies for Lexus off-roader

The upgrade is claimed to boost the big SUV's "luxury touring credentials." Changes are minor but include a revised front grille and new tail light styling with LED illumination. Inside there is a new 11-speaker Mark Levinson audio system.

In addition to the vehicle changes, Lexus is offering a "Lifestyle Entertainment Pack" to help tempt customers to part with the $123,000 required to purchase a LX470 between now and June 30.

The pack features $8500’s worth of goodies comprising a Rear Seat Entertainment DVD System with 180mm anti-glare screen, two 'Hardrock' alloy mountain bikes, Thule Roof pod with high-strength cross bars and bike racks.
