3.5-litre V6 engine
Delivering a sophisticated blend of power and environment-friendly performance, Dual VVT-i (Intake side: VVT-iW) contributes to high torque across the rpm range, with lightweight roller rocker arms and a low-friction timing chain enhancing high-revving performance. TheStop & Start System complements the D-4S fuel injection system to further enhance fuel efficiency.
3.5-litre V6 hybrid engine
The hybrid system’s V6 engine integrates advanced technologies that include Dual VVT-i (Intake side: VVT-iW) and D-4S fuel injection system. Lightweight components further contribute to both powerful driving and outstanding environmental performance. A focus on reducing friction losses in the engine helps boost peak output revolutions from 6000 to 6600rpm.
Multi Stage Hybrid System
The Multi Stage Hybrid System’s 10-speed shift control provides a direct acceleration feel that follows the increase in engine rpms, together with excellent shifting rhythm. The Multi Stage Shift Device varies the combined output of the engine and motor, amplifying engine torque and increasing drive force by 24%. It utilizes engine speed in a wide range from low to high speeds, harnessing maximum engine output from 50km/h, as well as enabling high-speed driving at lower engine rpms for a quiet ride.
FR (Front engine, Rear wheel drive) platform
The LS takes advantage of the FR platform that Lexus refined for the LC to optimize front-to-rear weight distribution and the moment of inertia. The result is natural, smooth vehicle dynamics when cornering, accelerating and decelerating. The adoption of a low driving position and a layout that keeps the driver’s hip point and the vehicle’s center of gravity close together minimizes the distance between the driver and the axis of rotation, heightening the driver’s feeling of oneness with the car. In this way, the packaging meticulously refines the inertia characteristics to deliver excellent response along with smooth, stable changes in posture during the sequence of movements involved in cornering.
Suspension
To realize high-quality driving and ride comfort befitting the Lexus flagship, the AVS damping force, stabilizer spring rate, and vertical spring of the wheels were fine-tuned to effectively suppress shock and vibration, providing high-quality ride comfort and exceptional quietness, as well as realizing excellent steering response and stable vehicle posture.
Overview
Befitting the Lexus flagship sedan, the LS realizes a future-focused vision of luxury to create a superior driving experience. It further evolves Lexus DNA to provide refined driving and ride performance, fusing advanced technologies with exquisite craftsmanship to shape trendsetting values.
Drive mode select
Drive mode select provides integrated control of multiple systems to let you tune performance to suit your driving style. You can select and change between five modes: Normal, Eco, Comfort, Sport S and Sport S+ Modes. In addition, Custom Mode enables drivers to set their preferred settings for the powertrain, chassis and air conditioning.
Features
Meticulous attention was paid to further refining the flagship comfort, utility and safety of each element to make every drive in the LS time well spent. Fusing craftsmanship with advanced technologies to create a modern expression of luxury, imbues an enriching experience to be enjoyed with confidence and peace of mind. find out more
Headlamps
A slim 3-projector lamp unit above and innovative BladeScan AHS headlamps below help provide excellent night-time visibility for reliable, stress-free driving. The BladeScan system provides broad natural illumination range in high beam, to help support early recognition of pedestrians and road signs at night. The L-shaped LED DRL in the middle provide fade-in and fade-out ‘Omotenashi’ illumination after the doors are unlocked and locked.
Rear combination lamps
The distinctive L-shaped rear combination lamps blend harmonious form, heightened by the use of Piano Black trim, with advanced functionality. The sequential turn signal lamps illuminate in a sharp, well-defined flow that intuitively communicates the turning direction to following vehicles. Aero stabilizing fins integrated into the design contribute to excellent handling stability. All lamps, including on the trunk lid, use LEDs.
Hands-free power trunk lid
Even if both hands are full, when carrying the Electronic Key you can open and close the trunk lid automatically by moving your foot under the rear bumper.
28-way power front seats
The newly-developed ` system provides fine-grained support for every part of the body. Shoulder supports for the shoulder blades help steering operation. The upper body is also supported during cornering, enhancing the feeling of unity with the car. Hip support provides special support for the back of the hips, to help maintain posture during braking and cornering. Cushion side supports provide a high degree of grip, contributing to stable body hold during cornering.
22-way power rear seats and power ottoman
The power rear seats use motors and a pneumatic system that inflates and deflates air bladders to make fine-grained adjustments to every aspect of the seats. The rear seat behind the front passenger’s seat has a maximum 1020mm of foot room and a power ottoman that provides generous support to the lower legs so the occupant can relax in refined comfort. In addition, three position presets allow the occupant to choose their preferred posture. ‘Business’ is the normal position. ‘Entertain’ reclines the seatback to a relaxing angle and positions the front passenger’s seat for optimal viewing of the rear seat display. ‘Relax’ moves the front passenger’s seat to the forward-most position and deeply reclines the rear seatback to optimize the rear seat space.
Rear seat entertainment system
The rear seat entertainment system includes 11.6-inch displays that automatically adjust with the seat position to maintain an excellent angle for easy viewing, a Blu-ray Disc player, SD card slot, and a HDMI jack that enables the connection of a computer or other devices. Rear seat passengers can also enjoy videos, music and other media stored on mobile devices using Miracast or DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
Rear multi-operation panel
The multi-operation panel in the rear center armrest puts intuitive control of the audio, air-conditioning, seat and relaxation functions, sunshades and lighting at your fingertips.
