Technology
has improved vastly over the years, and with vehicle technology in-car systems
and infotainment, that’s the expectation from customers too.
“Hey, Hi, Hello, Okay Lexus” – the new Voice Assistant was designed by Toyota Connected and it’s a game-changer.
The feature allows for natural language conversation and helps with in-car functions
such as changing audio settings or climate control in select models.
When the available Drive Connect
service is activated during trial or subscription periods, the Intelligent
Assistant adds even more functionality, such as searching for nearby coffee
shops or providing sports or weather information — all by simply making a
verbal request.
All drivers have to do is say, “Hey Lexus!” and it tells the driver where to go or what to do.
Lexus designers have done away with the aux cord usage for the new-generation vehicles.
The new system features
wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, so no more plugging in phones
to connect to those options, when you don’t need to.
Ever sat in the driveway frustrated
while trying to pair a device? Here’s some good news. The new system is faster
and comes with a better connection via Bluetooth. Up to five devices can be
paired – two at the same time! Now drivers and their passengers won’t have to figure
out whose phone is paired, try and disconnect, then re-pair, etc.
One of the coolest features involves
the Lexus mobile app. It builds on an existing function allowing drivers to
start the car from their phone. Now with user profiles, drivers can store
preferred vehicle settings via the Lexus app. With the user profile paired to
either a smartphone device or the vehicle’s smart key, the settings such as
music and screen display preferences will automatically be recognised when a
driver returns to the vehicle. No more having to re-adjust everything each time
a different person gets behind the wheel, which saves time and, honestly,
energy.
The user profiles are also
transferrable, so drivers can bring their favourite settings to any Lexus
vehicle with the new multimedia system.
There’s also a streaming feature now
for Apple Music via Wi-Fi Connect, so no matter the service, it can be part of
the display when the driver enters their vehicle. The mega touchscreen (and
yes, it is that big!) makes it easy to search via genre for a radio station,
then favourite it so it’s not lost.
With these convenient upgrades, this
new system is certainly putting the “go” in “on-the-go” lifestyle.
The 2022 Lexus NX will be the
first Lexus model to include this all-new system. But stay tuned, as other
models will join soon. Lexus NX will launch in South Africa in quarter one of
next year.
