Alternatively, Lexus provided an ottomon with a seating for the rear seat and a leg edition behind the passenger seat. It can be twisted down to make more legrooms and improve further views. Better door seals and the use of acoustic glazing in the front doors should contribute to a decrease in noise levels.
