The result of a five-year creative journey, the all-new,
fifth-generation Lexus flagship transforms the luxury saloon into a totally new
art form. Our designers have always pushed boundaries, but this latest LS extends
the frontiers of technology even further with Multi Stage Hybrid – a
breakthrough technology that transforms the
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid powertrain
performance. Re-imagined from the ground up, it offers superb handling agility
and exhilarating performance, yet refuses to compromise on comfort and luxury.
Hand-pleated door linings, Shimamoku wood patterns and decorative trim inspired by Edo Kiriko cut glass complement the 'Takumi' crafted interior in the LS' whisper-quiet cabin.
Inspired by Japanese hospitality, when you touch the door handle the new LS rises to welcome and assist your entry, while the front seat bolsters lower automatically to greet you as you take your seat.
Reassuringly, the new 2018 LS is also equipped with next-generation Lexus Safety System+ A. Available on Premier grade, the system’s advanced technology now includes the world’s first pedestrian detection function with active steering.
To keep you refreshed, the 28-way adjustable front seat can
perform shiatsu massages, while rear seat passengers can enjoy a reclining
ottoman with seven shiatsu massage programmes and extra heaters.
The hushed serenity of the cabin provides an ideal stage for
the Mark Levinson® system featuring Quantum Logic Immersion technology and a
ceiling array to create a unique 3D concert-like experience.
The LS 500h features the world's first Multi Stage Hybrid
system, which seamlessly combines the power of a 3.5 litre V6 dual VVT-i petrol
engine and an advanced electric motor, and amplifies output with our pioneering
four stage shift device, responding instantly to the accelerator for dynamic
performance.
The eye-catching, dynamic look of the LS is matched only by
its superb, driver-first performance. Thanks to its new and improved fixtures
and features, this flagship luxury saloon offers outstanding agility combined
with supreme comfort and refinement.
