It has steel springs at all 4 corners. The shocks are adjustable, use nitrogen gas a rubber blatter and hydrolic fluid. The hydrolic fluid is what controls the damping rate. If you want to define it as a air suspension it should not have steel springs, only have air filled rubber blathers and air compressors would be used to support and control the suspension. I think Lexus uses that word sometimes in their marketing information because it's easy or they think it's a good term. Look up what is defined as a air suspension, it's not what we have in our 570's.

And if you think that LX is better than G500/550 off-road, then i have some land to sell you on Mars.
