8 DESIGN – EXTERIOR – The exterior has been designed with the uniqueness and sophisticated quality that are worthy of the Lexus brand, while maintaining the powerfulness of the Top of SUVs. The overfenders have been discontinued and the body has been widened (+10mm). The tread has been increased (front: +25mm, rear: +15mm) to achieve a wide design that gives a sense of stability. SIDE DESIGN The clean sweep that extends from the door surface to the optimally proportioned wheel flares, which do not rely on retrofitted overfenders, expresses a sophisticated strength that distinguishes this model from the me- dium–level SUVs. 155MO01
