Hey Lexus: Lexus improves its infotainment system with advanced voice commands

The new 2022 Lexus NX will have a host of new features and several new versions, but the new NX owner is likely to love the new infotainment system more than any other new feature. Better yet, this new system announced yesterday will be rolling out across the Lexus lineup in the near future.

The new infotainment system will offer a host of new features. Let's take a look at it.

New advanced voice commands

At the heart of the improvements to the new Lexus infotainment system are advanced voice commands. Using the primary command "Hey, Lexus" will automatically connect you to the system, and you'll subsequently be able to use a host of different natural commands to enhance the comfort and experience on board.

For example, you can say "Hey, Lexus, it's cold. The system will then adjust the air conditioning. Or, you can say "Hey Lexus, is there a good Japanese restaurant around here?" and the system will give you a list of matching restaurants.

Even more interesting is that both the passenger and the driver will have a microphone. So, if it's the passenger who says he or she is cold, the system will adjust the climate controls only on the passenger side.

This is a new, more interactive and powerful way to interact with the system and greatly enhances the onboard experience.

New larger screen with better resolution

Visually, the system will offer exceptional resolution and breathtaking graphics. In addition, the screens will be larger, up to 14 inches. This not only gives the cabin a unique look, but also makes it easier to interact with the system with larger controls.

Better navigation system

Lexus wants to offer the same level of performance in your navigation system as you get on your phone. Cloud or cloud technology will allow access to more accurate points of interest and more accurate congestion and construction data as well.

Access by mobile device

It will be possible to access your Lexus vehicle with the use of a mobile device. Yes, you will actually be able to unlock the keys or access the climate controls remotely with your cell phone!

The new Lexus Connected System will be offered across the entire Lexus lineup starting with the all-new Lexus NX 2022.
