#2018 lexus ls release date

[iahmedabouzeid]

The evolution of the car has been a long one, but as time moves on, technology develops faster and faster. The first car was invented in 1886 if you believe Mercedes-Benz, and then Henry Ford revolutionized how they were built with the Model T in 1908. In 1922, electronic ignition replaced the starter crank handle, but it wasn’t until 1949 that Chrysler introduced the keyed ignition into production cars. Cigarette lighters came to automobiles in 1921, then car radios in 1930

Once entertainment was taken care of, power steering appeared as far back as 1951, and then Chrysler introduced air conditioning in 1953, and cruise control appeared as early as 1958. Three-point seat belt appeared in 1959 courtesy of Volvo, while the 1960s saw electric windows, heated seats, and intermittent wipers appear. Anti-lock brakes were first seen in 1971, in 1973, the catalytic converter turned up to ruin everyone’s fun for nearly twenty years, and the first digital dashboard appeared in 1974. Airbags started becoming standard in the 1980s, then, in the 1990s, things started picking up. That’s where we’ll start with the evolution of modern car technologies as we know them

1990: Built-In Satellite Navigation

We take a GPS based navigation for granted now, but once upon a time, people had to use paper maps and written directions. Then companies started playing with navigation systems in cars, which were problematic for several reasons, mainly in being able to pinpoint the car’s location accurately. Then, in 1990, Mazda was the first to put a GPS based navigation system in a production vehicle. It went into the Japanese market Eunos Cosmo, which is a whole article in itself. The first GPS navigation system in a US car came from Oldsmobile and was a $1,995 option in 1995. It wasn’t until 2000 that the US government made a more accurate GPS signal available for civilian use, and GPS based navigation started to become commonplace

1996: Connected Cars

The term ‘connected cars’ has become a buzzword in the 21st century, but it was GM working with Motorola that created the first connected system for a car, and they called it OnStar. The first OnStar telematics systems could call emergency services if an airbag deployed, and was first fitted to the Cadillac Eldorado, DeVille, and Seville. Over time, the ability to add GPS locations and the ability to transmit voice and data at the same time evolved. OnStar is still a feature on cars and in its tenth generation and with a lot more features added, but virtually every automaker has a similar system available

1998: Color Head-Up Display

The head-up display (HUD) was a futuristic sci-fi wonder in the 1980s. The first automotive head-up display appeared on the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Indy Pace Cars and replicas in 1998. They became more widely available, and Toyota and Nissan started offering them on select models, most notably the Nissan 240SX. They’ve now become a common option for cars, and many automakers make them standard on higher trims. Most HUD systems use color to draw the eye to pertinent information, but the first car to offer a color head-up display was the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette. Cadillac then offered a HUD in the XLR, and BMW pushed development hard with the 2003 5 Series

1999: Laser Adaptive Cruise Control

Mercedes has a long list of technology it has brought to market before anyone else, often in its most premium of premium models. Mitsubishi pioneered laser-controlled cruise control with a lidar-based cruise control system that used throttle and transmission control to adapt the car’s speed but didn’t use the brakes. Mercedes introduced its Distronic system in 1999 on the S-Class and CL as the first radar-assisted Autonomous cruise control system available worldwide. Its impact reverberates still as autonomous vehicle technology slowly creeps forward

2000/2001: Bluetooth

A Bluetooth connection to our cellphones is something we take for granted in 2020, and it’s rare for a car to be sold without Bluetooth technology as standard. In the mid-1990s, you could buy a car stereo head unit with Bluetooth, but it was a while before it appeared as an option. History is a little hazy about which manufacturer offered it from the factory first as Chrysler saw it as a great idea early on, but it’s likely the Acura TL was the first car to be offered in the US with the technology equipped

2001: Modern Infotainment System

It’s hard to pin down when the infotainment system, as we know it today, came into being. BMW introduced its iDrive system to the 7 Series in 2001; it featured a prominent screen that was controlled by a central knob and meant fewer buttons on the dashboard. But the first touchscreen in a car dates back to the 1986 Buick Riviera and its green-and-black cathode-ray tube display. At that time, Popular Mechanics wrote that the touchscreen “violates the First Commandment of ergonomics – you must take your eyes off the road to make any adjustments.” 21 years later, after the release of the first Apple iPhone in 2007, we saw the big move to touchscreen systems in cars

2002: Parking Camera

The first example of a rearview camera goes back to the 1956 Buick Centurion concept car. Volvo also toyed with the idea in 1972 Volvo Experimental Safety Car, but it didn’t make it into production for some time. The first production car with a rear camera was the Japanese market 1991 Toyota Soarer Limited, but not the US market’s Lexus SC equivalent. However, it was Infiniti that added guidelines for parking on the 2002 Q45 flagship sedan, which debuted at the New York Auto Show in 2000. Nissan also used the 2002 Nissan Primera to introduce the technology outside of the US and Japan. Legislation introduced in 2018 has subsequently made the humble reverse camera standard in all modern cars. The concept of a surround-view camera then arrived on the 2008 Infiniti EX35, using four cameras to give a bird’s eye view of the vehicle, with numerous manufacturers following suit

2004: Remote Start

Remote start technology had been available via the aftermarket for years before 2004, but that was the year GM decided to make the technology available direct from the factory. Before starting, the vehicles were set to run diagnostics in engine oil pressure, engine temperature, throttle position, brake/transmission shift position, and battery voltage. If everything checked out and the hood wasn’t open, the car could be started from the key fob and then be unlocked at the driver’s leisure. It has become an incredibly valuable feature for people living in climates with particularly hot or cold weather, allowing them to start the car and let it cool down or warm up before even leaving the house

2006: Self Parking Car

Lexus showed the world the first self-parking production car; the 2006 LS 460 sedan was unveiled at the Detroit International Auto Show, and the technology blew people away. To activate it, the driver had to put the car in reverse, which enabled the rearview camera, then press the parallel park icon on the touchscreen to place an indicator square over the parking space they wanted to use. The driver could then release the steering wheel while the car parked and maneuvered itself. Other manufacturers followed, and, with each iteration, the technology has gotten smoother, more precise, and faster to park

2007: Blind Spot Monitoring

As thicker pillars became prevalent due to safety legislation due to rollover risks, blind spots when using side-view mirrors became more problematic on passenger vehicles. Volvo developed its Blind Spot Information System and included it on its 2007 S80 sedan, which created a visible alert for the driver when changing lanes with another car present. Ford was Volvo’s parent company at the time and started using the same system for all of its brands. Mazda then used a similar system for its 2008 Mazda CX-9, but only in Grand Touring trim. In 2013, Mazda started making it more available through its range, and other companies followed suit. Blind-spot monitoring systems are now also used for rear-cross-traffic safety systems

2007: LED Headlights

The common halogen lamp is an energy-hungry unit and is usually only rated for around 800 hours of use, while High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting is an expensive and complicated system that’s not the most ideal either. LED headlights, however, strike an excellent balance, and give bright white light, light up faster than halogen, are energy-efficient, and have a long operating life. They’re also easy to package as they use small bulbs and allow automakers to get creative with lighting designs.

The use of LEDs for exterior on cars goes back as far as the 1986 Chevrolet Corvette’s brake lights. Kia started using LED turn indicators in 2002, and then the 2007 Audi R8 used LED daytime running lights. Outside of the US, the R8 had the first option for LED headlights while, at the same time, the Lexus LS featured LED low beams and side markers in the US. The Cadillac Escalade featured low and high beams powered by LEDs in 2009, but it wasn’t until the current-generation Mercedes S-Class that we saw the first car to use exclusively LED lighting, both inside and out

2009: Smart Phone Connected Cars

Now, pretty much every automaker has something to offer in the way of smartphones interacting with a car. In 2009, Mercedes launched the first iteration of its ‘mbrace’ app to allow remote access to owner’s vehicles from their smartphone. It worked with iPhone and Blackberry and allowed remote door locking and unlocking as well as vehicle location. Since then, apps from automakers have increased in scope to include everything including diagnostics, checking the fuel level, the vehicle’s location, remote start, and even booking service appointments

2012: First License For Autonomous Cars

The race to build the first production autonomous car started in the 2010s. It was Google that secured the first license to take its experimental driverless technology on the road. The Toyota Prius was issued its license in Nevada and opened the gates to testing autonomous systems. That has led us to a plethora of driver assistance features on production cars, such as lane-keeping, collision avoidance, and advanced adaptive cruise control systems. In 2014, Tesla then dropped its first iteration of Autopilot for existing owners as the first commercially available system that can steer the car without input from the driver and change lanes on the motorway

2014: Apple CarPlay

A common problem with automaker’s infotainment systems has been that they are not designed well and are often operated on hardware to that found in the smartphone in the driver’s pocket. Apple’s CarPlay came to market in 2014, closely followed by Android Auto, to change that. Both Apple and Google lead the way with their voice control and navigation, and the systems use popular travel and music apps, integrating everyday life with the car, and ensuring that a car’s tech is never further behind than your easily-upgradable smartphone. All you currently have to do is plug in your phone, and it becomes the infotainment system

#gallery-0-74 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-74 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-74 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-74 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

2018: Phone As Key

Keyless entry has been with us for a long time. Ford’s SecuriCode has been around since 1980, although it started out being called Keyless Entry System. It’s been a slow burn for the technology to become mainstream and has always required having your remote in your pocket. It seems incredible that it took so long, but Tesla introduced its customers to use a cellphone to replace the remote key fob in 2018. Model 3’s were able to sense the driver’s phone from up to 30 feet away and unlock the doors. There have been security and safety concerns, which is why the more traditional automakers have been slow to follow, but soon, this tech will be the go-to choice

2018 Lexus LS Review, Specs And Price

2018 Lexus LS Review, Specs And Price –  A leading provides something far beyond the standard luxurious car. With outstanding modern technology now cascading across all automobiles, premium improvements are becoming tougher to get. Although with its forthcoming LS primary, Lexus believes it has elevated the ante in the reputation-sedan segment. Launched at the Detroit auto show, the 2018 Lexus LS is a marvel of powertrain, revocation, and security advancements that the car maker believes will trump its German rivals.

2018 Lexus LS Future

“Not particularly will the Lexus LS symbolize this Lexus brand name, but it will also come to be the definitive new-generation high-end car embodying Japanese traditions and culture,” Toshio Asahi, LS chief engineer, explained in a push release. “As such, this global pinnacle should go beyond what the entire world wants from a luxury car.”

2018 Lexus LS Exterior And Interior

The Lexus LS is a significant lead car for Lexus’ all-new universal design for high-end vehicles (GA-L) platform. Even with 1.3 inches more wheelbase than the outgoing LS, the LS is 200 kilos less dark and is the stiffest car Lexus makes. The car maker promises improved coping with, drive level of smoothness, and cabin quietness. The GA-L platform will likely be discussed, in reduced form, with the LC 500 coupe. Lexus distributed thick revocation forearms and knuckled joint parts between the Lexus LS and LC, but offered each car various tuning for the bushings, factory suspensions, and active stabilizer, Asahi explained. Lexus has set up a new technology of its Vehicle Dynamics Incorporated Control chassis-control system that feelings longitudinal, lateral, and vertical action as properly as yaw, roll, and pitch for more particular managing and traction control. The LS now offers optional rear-wheel steering. The LS will give you the standard safety measures, and present the world’s first system with user-friendly walking detection-that means the car will immediately break and most likely guide around a wayward individual while remaining inside of a lane.

The new model is about .6 inches lower, and the hood and trunk are roughly 1.2 ” and 1.6 inches reduced. As this sort of, it’s noticeable around fenders and scalloped doors give the look of a flexible person cabin sitting down atop muscular haunches. In phrases of design, the top fascia practices Lexus’ existing design concept of squinty, zigzag front lights and spindle grille although the latticework within the grille seems more like a cinched corset than the Predator. The roofline glides delicately through the C-pillar and into the rear outdoor patio, although actually, it remains a sedan and not a fastback. On the inside, individuals used to Lexus’ bank-vault silence will find new degrees of solitude supplied by active noise control suppression, which cancels particular frequencies using antiphase seem from the music loudspeakers. In what can only be detailed as overkill, 28-way energy front car seats feature heating system, air conditioning, and therapeutic massage the rear seats also feature heating, chilling, and Shiatsu and might be reclined up to 48 degrees. Because the car is lower than before, the LS’ air suspension raises the car for easier gain access to when unlocked by an getting close to intelligent critical. One inner product of being aware: The infotainment system nevertheless uses the trackpad program we now have vilified in other Lexus products-however. Naturally, we certainly have yet to check it in this iteration.

2018 Lexus LS Engine

Adding the capacity to the pavement is a 10-velocity automatic, which however manage using a torque converter, has reported transfer occasions that competitor these of two-clutch transmissions. Paddle shifters are accessible, but Lexus claims its electronic control system, which anticipates the driver’s input, could be better at choosing the perfect ratio by tracking the velocity, braking, and lateral-g causes. The powertrain can be personally tuned from Normal to Sport to Sports modes, based on the driver’s feeling. Asahi explained the parasitic power loss from the Aisin-constructed torque converter are “about the same” as what the LS will have possessed with a double-clutch installation. The gear proportions are the same as in LC, however with a different differential rate. The LS will replace the outbound 4.6-liter V-8 with a two-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that Lexus claims were made especially for the LS. Owning 415 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque (when compared with 386 Hewlett Packard and 367 lb-ft of the old V-8), the new LS ought to accelerate from to 60 miles per hour in 4.5 mere seconds, Lexus affirms.

2018 Lexus LS Price And Release Date

All the managers kindly rejected to reply to or wisely dodged all the other inquiries about the 2018 Lexus LS. Those queries were mainly focused entirely on the regular mpg and the actual price because every person could pull some a conclusion about the relaxation independently. The release date will likely be anywhere at the end of 2017, meant to be the model for 2018. Prices are not formal, but judging by the official rates for the 2018 Lexus LC 500, it will not go less than $93,000. And because we are speaking about the base model.

2020 Lexus LS 500 Price, Interior, Specs

2020 Lexus LS 500 Price, Interior, Specs

2020 Lexus LS 500 Price, Interior, Specs – At first, obtaining a look with the all-new 2020 Lexus LS 500, you may see it is a significant car here is the company’s leading sedan. Therefore, it is an essential model in exhibiting just where Lexus is proceeding within the following few yrs.

2020 LEXUS LS 500 REDESIGN

Camping at the foundation it is indeed an all-new system Orion’s about the Gow…

[googlenewson]

When moviegoers first saw King T'Challa in action as Black Panther it was a real showstopper: The Marvel comic book character clings to the top of a sleek new Lexus LC sports coupe as he surfs through the busy streets of Busan, South Korea, in a high-speed chase that ultimately destroys his remote-controlled ride.

The scene’s a crowdpleaser, to be sure--and it successfully sells Lexus' image as a maker of high-performance luxury sports cars to a younger audience. Starting this weekend, with a prominent role in Sony's sci-fi franchise Men in Black: International, the Japanese automotive company hopes to add another hit to its credits, giving it supporting roles in summer blockbusters for two years running.

But betting on a movie's success is a game that most veteran studio executives have a hard time playing, let alone luxury automotive brands. And no matter how much money is sunk into a project, there are no guarantees at the box office.

For instance, Black Panther could have been a big miss for the Japanese luxury automaker. The titular main character, who rules a fictional technologically advanced African nation, was relatively unknown to most audiences prior to the movie’s release. Lexus executives weren’t allowed to read the script before signing on to support the film, giving the company no guarantee of how its brand would appear on screen. The production also wanted six coupes to use for filming, which forced Lexus to provide custom-built prototypes that can cost upwards of $1 million each, since the actual car was not being produced.

For Lexus, whose corporate parent Toyota isn't known for risk taking, the gamble paid off. Black Panther blew away expectations to become 2018’s highest-grossing movie in the U.S., earning more than $700 million domestically, and nearly $1.4 billion worldwide. And the film didn't just appeal to comic book fans, it also over-indexed with African-Americans, given that Black Panther was the first big-budget Marvel Studio’s movie to feature a black actor as the lead.

"Lexus has always been committed to celebrating the rich diversity of our customers, but Black Panther catapulted it to a new level," says Lisa Materazzo, Lexus’ vice president of marketing.

Betting on blockbusters

With Men in Black: International, Lexus is taking less of a risk. Sony has put considerable resources into breathing new life into its $2 billion franchise, which now stars Chris Hemsworth (Marvel's hammer-wielding Thor) and Tessa Thompson, who proved a winning duo together in Thor: Ragnarok.

In the new MIB film, Lexus' aggressive RC F sports coupe races through London, helping agents escape threatening aliens, before transforming into a jet. Lexus' RX Hybrid and LX SUVs are also featured in scenes with alien encounters.

In both MIB and Panther, Lexus is portrayed as a future-forward designer of high-tech vehicles, a positioning that promotes the company's newest slogan "Experience Amazing." "The beauty of film integrations is that none of the traditional rules apply," Materazzo says. "It's an opportunity to partner with filmmakers to imagine all of the possibilities."

This isn't necessarily new ground for Lexus, which has introduced other high-tech products like a hoverboard and sports yacht concept over the past several years to expand the brand's appeal to affluent buyers in the sought-after 45- to 55-year-old market.

Lexus is looking to use films as a way to launch new emotionally engaging campaigns around the release of its new sports cars and luxury sedans and SUVs. It especially sees movies as a way to tap into conversations around cultural events.

But forcing your brand into the story doesn’t come cheap. In addition to providing expensive prototypes to filmmakers for Panther, Lexus produced a comic book and custom videos, as well as bought a 30-second Super Bowl spot for the tie-in and LC 500 launch that cost the company more than $5 million.

But when Marvel's movies have made a combined $21 billion worldwide to date (including the most recent "Avengers"), you take the risk.

A strategy as old as Bond, James Bond

If Lexus seems like it's siding up to well-dressed secret agents, there's a reason: The brand is focused on pushing the performance of its cars, technological innovation and style--while having some fun. That kind of limits just who gets to drive its hero cars.

"We consider how our product aligns with the character who drives it," Materazzo says, and "how the integration might enable us to illuminate a core brand truth within the story.”

But the automaker wasn't specifically looking to get into the superhero business, though Black Panther was expected to be groundbreaking in bringing the character to the big screen, given that star Chadwick Boseman is the first black actor to headline a big-budget superhero film which features a largely African-American cast.

So putting Black Panther in a LS 500 sedan and LC 500 coupe in the film and marketing materials was akin to pairing James Bond with Aston Martin.

But moviegoers haven't always embraced the films Lexus has supported with product placement. In 2017, the same year "Experience Amazing" launched, Lexus developed the designs for a futuristic jet for Luc Besson's pricey sci-fi fantasy Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which didn't take off, earning just $226 million worldwide.

On the other hand, when the films work, they clearly help improve Lexus' brand image, and boost sales. It’s "Long Live the King" Super Bowl spot helped boost searches for Lexus' LS sedan by 2,500%, according to auto site Kelley Blue Book shortly after the ad launched. And online searches for Lexus rose 15% the week after Panther's debut, while the LC 500 was up 10% on its own, according to Autotrader.

Lexus recorded its best global sales year in 2018, moving 698,330 vehicles off dealership lots, an increase of 4.5%--a tough figure for anyone to reach, in what's becoming a crowded luxury auto market.

"Auto companies partnering on movies is more about exposure than sales," says Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Autotrader. This is true especially summer blockbusters that attract millions of moviegoers, she adds, noting that Nissan's affiliation with the Star Wars films enabled it to have a themed auto show exhibit, "which surely drew lots of kids with their parents in tow to an exhibit they might otherwise have skipped."

In addition to the Black Panther franchise--which Lexus isn't expected to give up though a sequel isn't expected until 2021--the automaker will likely appear in future Marvel movies. Marvel Studios' marketing mavens prefer long-term relationships with brands. For instance, Audi has been the vehicle of choice for Iron Man since 2008. Other Avengers films also featured Acura.

But it also has eyes on other franchises, as evidenced by its high-visibility role in MIB. Lexus says doesn't have a "strict rule" for how many films it wants to rally around per year, "one high profile partnership per year (feels) about right," Materazzo says. "We are actively considering several possibilities."

Whether MIB tanks or soars, Lexus’ diversification is a smart strategy for Hollywood tentpole brand integrations. Because even with all of Black Panther‘s success, if the movie proved one thing it’s that you can’t stay in Wakanda forever.
