LS 600h L
Engine: 5.0L V8 hybrid (gasoline + electric motor)
Torque: 520 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~5.5 s

The fourth-generation LS reached its technological zenith with the introduction of the LS 600h L — the world’s first full-hybrid V8 luxury sedan. With a combined output of 438 hp from its 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 and electric motor, the hybrid flagship delivered smooth, silent thrust and an astonishing 0–100 km/h time of 5.5 seconds. Even the LS 460, with its 4.6L V8, produced 380 hp and offered swift, refined acceleration without compromising composure.

Though not built for track-day cornering, the LS XF40 featured a double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear setup, paired with an available air suspension system that adapted to road conditions and driving mode. The LS 460 F Sport variant introduced in 2013 added a rear stabilizer bar, sportier tuning, and paddle shifters, enhancing its agility. Steering feel was subtle but accurate, and the optional AWD system provided added composure in poor weather.

Ultimately, the LS embodied effortless performance, delivering high-speed stability, road isolation, and absolute quiet. Its dynamic demeanor prioritized serenity over aggression — projecting power through engineering precision rather than theatrics — a philosophy that reflected Lexus’s unique identity in the luxury segment.

Body Styles

The LS was offered exclusively as a 4-door full-size luxury sedan, available in standard and extended wheelbase (L) configurations. With a long hood, pronounced shoulder lines, and a gradually tapering rear deck, the LS conveyed restrained elegance. The 2013 facelift introduced a more prominent spindle grille and LED lighting, adding assertiveness to the silhouette. Wheelbase options enhanced rear-seat legroom without disrupting the car’s balanced proportions. Wide, upright dimensions, high shoulder lines, and precise panel gaps conveyed craftsmanship and prestige, while the low coefficient of drag (0.26) highlighted its aerodynamic sophistication.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The designation “LS” stands for “Luxury Sedan.” It was the original Lexus model and the brand's statement of intent in 1989 — redefining luxury through obsessive attention to detail, engineering excellence, and quiet confidence. The LS was built to challenge the dominance of German flagships while offering a new, uniquely Japanese take on high-end motoring.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The XF40 LS was offered in a refined palette of exterior colors, including Starfire Pearl, Mercury Metallic, Obsidian, Deep Sea Mica, Satin Cashmere, Fire Agate Pearl, and Liquid Platinum. Executive variants and special editions included Ultra White and Manganese Luster, while the 600h L models introduced subtle blue-tinted hybrid badging and grille accents. Paint finishes were multi-layered for depth and clarity, with meticulous polishing.

Inside, Lexus offered semi-aniline and full-aniline leather upholstery in Black, Parchment, Light Gray, and Saddle, often paired with Shimamoku wood — a hand-layered, laser-cut trim that blended dark and light tones in a visually striking pattern. Other trim options included Walnut, Bamboo, and Espresso Bird’s Eye Maple. Executive packages added Ottoman-style reclining rear seats, massage functions, and rear-seat climate concierge systems.

Wheels ranged from 18-inch multi-spoke alloys on base trims to 19-inch split-spoke forged rims on LS 460 F Sport and LS 600h L models. Finish options included high-polish silver, dark graphite, and machined two-tone, harmonizing luxury and subtle aggression across the lineup.

  • Shimamoku Wood Interior Trim with Extended Finish: $1,400
  • Advanced Pre-Collision System with Driver Monitor: $2,900

vs Competitors

The Lexus LS XF40 competed directly with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221/W222), BMW 7 Series (F01), Audi A8 (D4), and Jaguar XJ (X351). While its German rivals emphasized cutting-edge performance and technological complexity, the LS focused on refinement, reliability, and quiet authority. The S-Class offered more prestige, and the 7 Series more athleticism, but neither could match the LS in ride isolation, long-term durability, or build quality. The LS 600h L, in particular, offered hybrid smoothness and V12-like torque with lower emissions — a unique proposition in the segment. Lexus emphasized a deeply engineered luxury experience, rather than flamboyant features, winning favor among those who prioritized quality and peace over constant change.

Fun Fact

The LS XF40 generation set a Guinness World Record for the world’s quietest production car, registering just 58 dB at idle. Lexus engineers used techniques such as laser-welded body seams, sandwich-glass windows, hollow driveshafts, and even foam-filled A-pillars to eliminate unwanted vibrations and wind noise. This obsessive attention to silence and ride comfort became one of the LS’s most defining features — and a signature trait for all future Lexus sedans.
