300 vs 200, what's new inside? (1 Viewer)

[katit]

Maybe strange question but I am mostly interested in features related to "convenience". Off-road capabilities, engines, transmissions - all fine.

What's new inside? Cameras? Cruise control? Audio? Apple play? Etc? Question mainly because 200 works for me as truck but I am not sure what I would be missing if I get 200 now features-wise.

The stand out newest feature is the 300 isn't available in the USA

I understand, but LX will be and I assume it will have same or more "gadgets" vs LC, so my question is what it will have extra comparing to 200?

Test drove LX 570 today, didn't see much difference comparing to my LX470 in driving

LX470 vs LX570 depending on year def has some differences... LX570 has coilovers in the front giving it more wheel travel over the torsion bars. 5.7 V8 has way more power than the 4.7. Both have open diffs and Atrac but 570 also has CRAWL control, turn assist and Terrain modes(depending on year). So in the 570 in my opinion ya end up with a vehicle with more travel, better traction and more power. Just my 2 cents...

To ME it wasn't much different. Difference in size and "feel" - I didn't feel extra power. And I didn't test drive it to test suspension travel. And I don't do it (off-roading). Both 470 and 570 will do more offroad than I going to ever need.

Luxury(comfort and noise)/modern/gadgets is what I am curious about in 300 series. Powertrain and suspension - I believe they all great

You're asking questions we don't have answers for. 300-based LX has not been announced even yet.

Yep. And I can tell you more.. I've been shopping for 570 now (decided to do it and take 5.7)
From speaking with multiple dealers - general opinion is that nothing happening and many ready to take 2022 order which they don't expect to change from 2021..

 

[unclemat]

The factory switched production from 200 to 300, so it's highly doubtful there will 2022 200-series LX.

More like 300-series LX will came late into MY2022. Rumors are the announcement is imminent.

The factory switched production from 200 to 300, .

Is that a fact? Only one factory? Is LC and LX made on a same lane? I am getting different conflicting info from dealers. Confused now.

Some say none can be custom-ordered, some say it can be. And I am not sure if I need to get 21 from whats' available (none with options I want) or wait for 2022 and see what happens. But without announcements I don't know what it's going to be and if I want it.

 

[unclemat]

I don't know that for a fact, but there was a talk about that switch. I believe they come from the same factory, but the factory also makes GX, Prado and 4runner. So who knows, maybe in theory they could continue pumping out 200-series LXes?

I wouldn’t bank on a 2022 lx570. The TTV6 LX600 will be revealed fall of 2021.
