32-Valve V8 Engine ONE STRUGGLE TO THE TOP IN A LIFETIME IS ENOUGH. Which is why the 2004 LX 470 has the first 32-valve, four-cam V8 engine offered in an SUV. It gives you 230 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 320 lb-ft of torque at 3,400 rpm. Translation: no struggle here.

Four-Wheel Drive WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR WAY AROUND AN OBSTACLE, GO OVER IT. Good advice. Especially if you're driving an LX 470. Its full-time four-wheel drive and 9.8-inch ground clearance can get you over and through almost anything. Unfortunately, this does not include traffic at rush hour.

Exceptional Suspension TAKE ON THE ROUGHER ROADS JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN. After all, the 2004 LX 470 is equipped with independent front suspension. And Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), a sophisticated system that actually senses the character of the terrain. It then adjusts the response of the four electronically controlled shock absorbers for a smooth, more responsive ride, on- and off-road. Choose from four suspension settings, from Comfort to Sport.
