Details
Summary
The fourth LS paired Optitron dials with a touchscreen, voice control and a pared-back set of console buttons; its 2012 facelift moved to a widescreen display run from a Remote Touch controller.
Specifications
Cockpit
Instrument cluster
Optitron speedometer, tachometer, fuel and temperature gauges around a colour multi-information display, with thinner meters, low-reflection paint and brighter LED lighting. The 2012 facelift paired larger dials with a 5.8-inch TFT information screen, the largest in any Lexus at the time.
Centre display
Electro Multi Vision touchscreen navigation
VGA (800 x 480) colour LCD, laid out so that any function is at most three steps away. DVD navigation at the UK launch.
12.3-inch multimedia display with Remote Touch Interface
Set high in the dashboard and operated with the second-generation Remote Touch, a slide-type haptic controller used like a computer mouse. The screen can show two kinds of information side by side.
Controls
Driver and passenger temperature buttons stayed physical, and steering-wheel switches cover audio and driver-assistance functions. The 2012 facelift merged several functions into shared switches and shrank the centre stack.
Facts
- Lexus counted 28 centre-console buttons supporting the touchscreen at launch, at least 39 per cent fewer than rival systems; the figure leaves out the rest of the dashboard switchgear.[2]
- Voice commands operate the audio, air conditioning, navigation and Bluetooth phone.[2]
- For the 2010 model year the LS 600h gained a full-colour TFT display inside a three-ring speedometer, a reorganised touchscreen layout with larger switches and, in Europe, 40 GB hard-disk navigation.[3]
- Lexus called the 2012 facelift's 24:9 screen the widest on the market.[5][4]
