In February, 1997 at a motor show in Chicago showed a concept of SLV (Sport Luxury Vehicle), in March appropriated it "name" - for a line of production Lexus (in the homeland the car is called Toyota Harrier).

The driver's seat moves on 17 mm. There is Sport complete set with black salon and inserts on the console under aluminum. The engine has the adjusted inlet and final paths and - for the first time on the SUV - the gas distribution phases changed depending on loading.
