Lexus announced today the
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) on the new 2007 GS 350 and the
following 2007 models: GS 430, IS 350, IS 250, SC 430, LX 470, GX 470 and
RX 400h.
GS 350/ GS 430
The 2007 GS 350 replaces the previous 245-horsepower 3.0-liter GS 300
model with a new 303-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 that produces 274 lb.-ft. of
torque. The GS 350 is available in rear- and all-wheel drive (AWD) models.
The new GS 350 builds upon its predecessor's already significant levels of
performance, advanced luxury and intuitive technology, and it becomes the
most powerful six-cylinder model in its segment.
For the new model year, both GS 350 models receive the high-performance
front brake pads and larger front brakes found on the V8-powered GS 430 and
an 18-inch wheel option for the rear-wheel drive GS 350. For the GS 430, an
active stabilizer is now available to help achieve a greater level of
vehicle control during cornering.
Standard features added to all 2007 GS models include a shark fin-style
antenna which supports satellite radio operation and Lexus Link(R)
communications, a VDIM/VSC cut-off function, and rear-seat side airbags.
Previously an option, the one-touch open/close moonroof is now standard on
all models. The fifth generation DVD Navigation System with a
high-resolution screen and enhanced voice-recognition technology is
available as an option as is Lexus Link(R). The GS also receives five new
exterior colors.
With the moonroof now standard, the GS 350 carries an MSRP of $44,150,
with the GS 350 AWD at $46,100 and $52,375 for the GS 430, an increase of
2.3%, 2.2% and 1.9% respectively. Pricing remains unchanged when compared
to 2006 models equipped with a moonroof. For added value, a savings of $400
applies to GS option packages that include the Navigation System.
IS 250/ IS 350
The popular IS sport sedans also add a shark fin-style antenna and
VDIM/VSC cut-off function as well as foglamp indicator, illuminated fuel
opener and illuminated trunk opener to their list of standard features for
2007. In addition, the High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with the
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) will now be available as a standalone
option. New for 2007 is the X Package option for the IS 350, IS 250
rear-wheel drive and IS 250 manual models. This package includes a
sport-tuned suspension, alloy sport pedals, illuminated scuff plates, front
lip spoiler and 18-inch five-spoke wheels.
Pricing for the 2007 IS line-up (with the exception of the IS 250 AWD
which remains unchanged at $34,285) reflects an increase of $265, or less
than one percent. MSRPs for the IS 250 manual and IS 250 rear-wheel drive
are $30,255 and $31,425 respectively. Base pricing for the IS 350 is
$35,705.
SC 430
For 2007, the distinctive SC 430 retractable hardtop convertible adds
driver and front passenger knee airbags, a front passenger seat occupant
classification sensor and a uniblade front wiper as standard features. An
18-inch wheel with a liquid graphite finish is available as well as three
new exterior colors. The sport coupe now gains an Ultra Low Emissions
Vehicle II (ULEV II) rating, making it one of the cleanest vehicles on the
road. Pricing increased by 0.2%, or $100, to $65,455.
The fourth annual 2007 SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition will again be
available in a limited production of 400 units. The Pebble Beach Edition
will be offered in a Starfire Pearl exterior color with Pimento Red
leather-trimmed interior, G-Spider wheels and unique badging. The Pebble
Beach Edition will be offered at $67,860 and will go on sale in September.
RX 400h
By offering some previously standard equipment features as either
standalone options or part of a package for 2007, the base price of the RX
400h is reduced by $3,480, to $41,180 on the front-wheel drive model, and
$42,580 on the all-wheel drive RX 400h.
Offered as standard equipment on 2006 models, the HID headlamps with
AFS, towing package and 18-inch wheels with a liquid graphite finish are
now available as individual options on the 2007 RX 400h hybrid luxury
utility vehicle.
In addition, the following features were previously standard and are
now offered as part of the Premium Package option for $1,245:
leather-trimmed interior, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel with
memory, roof rack with rails, illuminated entry system and one-touch
open/close moonroof. A Premium Plus Package priced at $2,060 is also
offered. This package includes all options from the Premium Package along
with HID and AFS.
New standard features on the RX 400h include a front passenger seat
power lumbar support, a coin holder in the center console, fabric-trimmed
interior, new hybrid badging and 17-inch wheels. Newly available options
include Dynamic Laser Cruise Control, fifth generation voice-activated DVD
Navigation System with Bluetooth(R) technology and a Mark Levinson(R) DVD
Premium Audio System with 11 speakers. In addition, the available Rear Seat
Entertainment System is upgraded with a larger nine-inch screen.
GX 470/ LX 470
Enhancements to the 2007 GX 470 luxury utility vehicle include an
MP3/iPod(R) audio input plug, a larger nine-inch screen for the optional
Rear Seat Entertainment System, available fifth generation Lexus
voice-activated DVD Navigation System with Bluetooth(R) technology and
available Mark Levinson(R) DVD Premium Audio System with 14 speakers.
Pricing for the 2007 GX 470 remains unchanged, at $46,635, as does pricing
for the full-size 2007 LX 470 luxury utility vehicle, which carries an MSRP
of $67,395.
