Default 2014 GX Base vs Premium vs Luxury Suspension

I am planning on buying a premium GX and I noticed that all three models have different specs for the rear suspension. In particular, I am wondering what is the difference between the premium and luxury rear suspensions. The premium says it has air springs, but it does not have the electronic control system. Can they be adjusted manually?

You can not adjust the Air Springs manually on the premium.


Only the Luxury gets the AVS system


Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS)
- - Electronically Modulated Rear Air Suspension with air springs, automatic load-leveling and three-position manual height control

Standard or an option?

Hmm, the Luxury gets Down Hill Assist Control standard. You have to get the Driver Support Package to get Crawl Control.

Was the switch to rear air suspension on the premium package a mid-year change? My 2014 premium package does not have rear air suspension, I was surprised to see this in this thread.

I purchased my 2014 premium yesterday and it does not have air springs, just the normal springs and shocks. I talked with both the tech dept. and the head of service to help make this determination. For one final verification, I crawled under and viewed the standard spring and shock setup. I believe Lexus' website must be incorrect when it shows that the premium suspension has air springs. Thanks for the help.

Only the luxury trim gets air suspension, all trim gets the downhill assist.
