THE ALL-NEW LEXUS LX LUXURY THAT IS HERE KNOWS NO LIMITS The all-new Lexus LX has arrived at Lexus of Southport. The Lexus LX introduces qualities that represent the next chapter of Lexus, from its powerful design to new powertrains, advanced technologies and superb performance, whether driving in the city or on the harshest roughroad routes.

Two new engines - twin-turbocharged petrol LX 600 and diesel LX 500d V6 units - are smaller in capacity than the model’s previous V8s, yet deliver significantly more power, higher torque and improved fuel economy.

A Lexus first - PHEV (Plug-In Electric Vehicle)

As the first full model change in 14 years, the allnew LX debuts F-Sport and range-topping Ultra Luxury grade as well as seating for four, five or seven, depending on the grade.

The first-ever Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury

The all-new flagship LX 600 Ultra Luxury has four independent seats providing supreme comfort for all occupants.

Rear-seat comfort is assured with a pair of individual captain’s chairs with 48-degree reclining, massage function, deluxe headrests, a passenger-side ottoman, and exclusive quilted upholstery offered in Black and new Sunflare.

Overseas model shown.

A unique rear centre console incorporates a touchscreen display for seat and air-conditioning controls, wireless smartphone charger, two USB-C ports and additional storage space for a luxurious chauffeur-driven experience.

Overseas model shown.

An unsurpassed ownership experience continues with a three-year membership to the leading Lexus Encore Platinum owner benefits program - including the pioneering Lexus on Demand, where members can borrow another Lexus to suit their needs or when travelling interstate or to New Zealand on four occasions, for up to eight days. Members are also provided with eight valet parking passes to use at select Westfield shopping centres

Pictured left-right: LX 500d F-Sport, LX 500d Sports Luxury, LX 600 Ultra Luxury

All-new LX comes with three years of cappedprice servicing, costing just $595 for each of the first six scheduled services with service intervals of six months/10,000km. Each Lexus LX comes with the Lexus Warranty Experience featuring a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.

Cosmetic Injectables Cosmetic injections, also known as dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments are used to smooth lines and wrinkles as well as add volume to lips and cheeks.

Anti-wrinkle is a muscle relaxant. It is injected into select facial muscles to relax and put them to sleep allowing the skin on top to also relax and smooth. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and prevents more from forming.

Dermal filler plumps the skin. It is a naturally occurring hydrating sugar gel that is injected into the skin to lift, plump, contour, soften lines and add volume.

Anti-wrinkle and dermal filler work differently and are often used together as they target different aging concerns. This helps obtain fresh, natural and long-lasting results for the whole face.

Specialising in the Palm Meadows property market for the past 20 years, John prides himself on his ability to bring together both the buyer and seller in such a way that both parties not only achieve their desired goals but positively enjoyed the process.

John attributes his ability to connect with people and quickly build rapport, largely down to his previous past experience within the retail sector. As an interior designer and decorator, John founded and opened 8 home wares and interior design stores all located in prime retail positions throughout Melbourne. Working closely with his clients to successfully create and design their dream home, not only involved a superior eye for detail but required John to engage elevated communication skills and to quickly develop close personal connections.

Utilising his past experiences and refined skills, along with his natural personable approach, is not only John’s defining difference as an agent but is the cornerstone to John’s continued positive outcomes and consistent client referrals.

John is without a doubt the leading agent in the area and holds the record for the highest sale price for each of the estates in Palm Meadows with single allotment homes.

LEXUS RZ

Overseas pre-production model shown.

A new era has begun for Lexus battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and the Lexus Electrified vision with the world premier of the all-new RZ 450e.

As Lexus’ first BEV built on a dedicated platform, the RZ heralds the transition of Lexus into a BEV-centred brand.

The RZ helps Lexus move forward toward another essential goal - the realisation of a sustainable global society. Lexus will contribute to the realisation of a carbonneutral society by offering a full lineup of BEVs in all categories by 2030.
