The Lexus LS has a 3.4L V6 engine under the hood, producing—wait for it—416 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. Can you imagine harnessing that much power? You won’t have to since the 10-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission makes over 400 ponies seem like light work. Paddle shifters come standard when you’re ready to take control. Get ready for take-off; you’ll reach 60 MPH in just 4.6 seconds!

Drivers who want the thrill of a 3.5L V6 engine and the endurance of Lexus Multistage Hybrid Drive will love the Lexus LS 500h AWD. This hybrid trim level was engineered to exhilarate, generating 354 net horsepower while maintaining an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG rating.

Did you know the LS is also a shapeshifter? It wears many hats to accommodate a variety of drivers. For instance, its Drive Mode Select feature satisfies drivers’ wants and needs on the road with these three drive modes:

• Sport S+
• Custom
• EV

Several suspensions are available, helping the LS accommodate your driving style. One of the most notable options is the available F SPORT Adaptive Variable Air Suspension, which meshes performance with accessibility. It maintains the sedan’s low center of gravity and raises to make getting in and out of the LS easier.

The LS is a full-size sedan with seating for five. Both front- and rear-seat passengers will have 37.3 inches of headroom; however, you and your copilot can enjoy 41 inches of legroom. Rear-seat passengers are granted 38.9 inches of legroom. There will be plenty of room to kick back and stretch out!

If you have a trip in the works, your luggage will easily fit inside. The trunk offers 16.9 cubic feet of space, which leaves ample room for your suitcase and carry-on, golf clubs, work equipment, new hobby gear, and more. The standard power trunk with kick sensor makes loading up your stuff as easy as waving your foot beneath the bumper.

The Lexus LS is deemed a prestige luxury sedan for many reasons. Its interior does a lot of the explaining, though. Slide into your throne and take a look around. You’ll find these standard amenities:

• Heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Dual-zone climate control
• 16-way power-adjustable front seats
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Power moonroof

Those are the creature comforts that come standard with the base model. You’ve read that right! Now, take a look at the additional amenities that raise your comfort to new heights:

• 28-way power-adjustable front seats with multifunction massage
• 22-way power-adjustable rear seats with multifunction massage and heat functionality
• Right-rear power recliner with sliding ottoman and multifunction shiatsu massager
• 4-zone Climate Concierge

Go on, indulge in spa-like serenity.

Everything you need to catch up with friends and family, rock out to a playlist, enjoy the next chapter in your audiobook, or divulge in a new podcast is in the cockpit of the Lexus LS. For starters, you’ll have three displays serving as key information hubs:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen
• 12-inch multi-information display
• 10-inch Head-Up Display

Rear-seat passengers will have a 7-inch touchscreen in their center console, allowing them to choose climate and seat settings. You can also upgrade your view quality with a 24-inch Head-Up Display and a Digital Rearview Mirror.

After you pull up your ideal cup of entertainment tea via wireless Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, it will play through the 12-speaker premium audio system. If you want to feel like you’re in the world of your audiobook or sitting in the front row at a concert, opt for the available Mark Levinson® 23-speaker Reference Surround Sound with QuantumLogic® Immersion.
