The LS 500 does the entirety you'll anticipate from a roomy, smooth, cozy large luxurious sedan, which has been real approximately Lexus' four-door flagship from the very start. What sets this one apart from its predecessors, and its opposition, is its edgy styling interior and out.
This LS 500 is whatever but beige, possibly for the first time within the model's nearly three-decade history. It assessments all of the requisite containers: Power is ample and linear, though I'm amazed which you cannot get anything but a turbocharged 3.Five-liter V6 in any of the auto's three existing variations. Not which you actually need it -- the 416-hp/442-lb-ft output is lots to make this heavy beast scoot. That Lexus hasn't take the German philosophy of extra being more when it comes to trims, engines and variations is sudden. Overall, the LS 500 is splendidly solid and heavy on the road, but in an awesome, financial institution vault kind of manner. The indoors is profoundly keeping apart and relaxing, thank you in part to the $12,270 (!) luxurious package deal spendy, however totally really worth it. But you'd get that solidity from any of this car's competitors.
The best part of the LS 500 is that it looks and feels different to the typical German offers, especially indoors. There is a unique design, good, unique, not forced, meaningless, that blooms everywhere in the booth angels, from the board that flows to it. A. Distinctive texture of the cards and l. A. Upholstery of l. A. Door to things as small as l. A. Sculptural steel interior door. Handles There is a real attention to detail here. I like the international effect of the tea house. In fact, I would say that this is my favorite luxury interior sedan on the market today.
The only thing I do not like in that booth is the information and entertainment system. The configuration of Lexus, which now has a touch of hypersensitive touch screen instead of that strange joystick square lever, is elegant and clumsy percent. After a few days of use I began to adapt, and I am sure that if I only drove Lexii, it would become something natural for me. I try to be realistic about this when I review a car in which I am only briefly. Still, it is an unfortunate weak spot in an otherwise impressive interior.
The biggest elephant (or, rather, the spindle the size of an elephant) in the room is that damn grid. It will shut down some potential buyers from the beginning; it has to be the most polarizing style element that has appeared in the traditionally superconservative LS since the initial appearance of the model in 1989. I am not the biggest fan of that grid, especially when it has been grafted onto an existing Lexus. That LX 570 is really something else, for example. But the LS and LC coupe are a much better home for the Los Angeles fascia silly.
Actually, I'll go one step further than that: I think the Los Angeles grid works well with the rest of the car style, which I've been saying since the LF-FC concept was unveiled a few years ago. This makes the previous LS look like a flabby jellybean. The widespread effect is stronger if you see it in personality, so do not go alone for the photos alone. You really need to check the LS, and the LC coupe, on the sheet metal. If you still can not stand the look of that, well, there are many other luxury sedans on the market. I am pleased that Lexus has decided to do something different.
