2015 Lexus LS460L
4.6L V8 360hp/347 lb-ft (AWD) 386hp/357lb-ft (RWD)
MPG: 16/24 (RWD) 16/23 (AWD)
0-60: 5.4 (RWD) 6.0 (AWD)
8 speed automatic
The LS460 beautifully fills the gap between the cheaper Hyundai Equus and more expensive BMW 7 series, Audi A8 and Mercedes S class. With gorgeous styling, impressive material quality, fantastic reliability and enough space for a first string basketball team, the LS460L is poised for success.
Under the hood lies a 4.6L V8 which produces 360hp and 347 lb ft of torque. Interestingly the RWD model produces nearly 30 more hp than the awd version we are testing. This power differential is due to the changes to the exhaust system. 0-60mph happens in 6 seconds, a decent time for a 4700lb sedan.
The LS cabin is incredibly isolated from the outside world. Road noise is practically non existent, a small hint at why this is such an exceptional luxury vehicle. Draped in semi aniline leather, alcantara and stunning bamboo trim the interior of the 460L is first class. For those seeking the next level of luxury, the optional executive class seating package is available. This offers 4 zone climate control, massaging seats, an ottoman style legrest and more. Most incredible however is the vehicles optional infrared sensors. These measure the surface temperature of rear seat occupants and automatically adjust the climate surrounding each passenger to the perfect level.
The front seats are very comfortable in the LS. When entering the vehicle you instantly notice the behemoth 12.3 in LCD screen. Thankfully it is operated by a touchpad as opposed to the annoying joystick used in some lexus vehicles. The graphics in the entertainment system are top notch and overall the system is easy to use.
This is of course the long wheel base variant, so rear space has been prioritized. As you can see there is endless head and legroom. Passengers in all seats would be comfortable on even the longest of road trips. And due to Lexuses phenomenal reliability, a cross country road trip wouldn't even be out of the question.
The driving characteristics of the LS do not promote aggressive behavior, this car is a luxury cruiser, not a nimble sports sedan. The chief priority is a serene, limousine like passenger experience, providing the highest degree of comfort and isolation. And Lexus has accomplished this quite well. The steering is light and the LS460 is effortless to drive. No matter which seat you reside in the Lexus, you will be relaxed.
This model is fitted with the optional Mark Levinson system which sounds fantastic. The bass is and the treble is.
Safety technology is plentiful in the LS, this car features a Pre-Collision system that is able to detect potential frontal collisions and will retract seatbelts while preparing to increase braking pressure when you engage the brakes. Radar Cruise control is able to sense the speed of the vehicle ahead of you to maintain a constant following distance and even stop and reaccelerate the car when traveling at speeds below 24 mph.
If you are looking for a competitively priced Luxury Sedan thats very comfortable, full of technology and exceptionally reliable the LS460 is definitely a car to consider. It is not as powerful as the new Mercedes S Class, but with a base price of $95,000, the german limousine is in a different segment all together.
Special thanks to Lexus of Ann Arbor.

I have a 2007 model LS and it is still drives like the day I bought it. Absolutely amazing and I have no desire to replace it anytime soon.
bighands69 did you have to replace the control arms? Heard it's a common issue on early LS460s?
Lukas i have 2008 LS460, no issue with control arms.

My heart say Jaguar XJ Portfolio, but my head says LS 460

lexus > everything

or just basically toyota>everything
Acura is shit nowadays.. acura Don't compete with Lexus, BMW, and Audi anymore.. maybe in the 90s but not anymore.. this is coming from both a Toyota and Honda fan.StrangeClouds
StrangeClouds the mdx is beautiful , but they need to give their motors more power. Also Lexus need to make the rcf with at least 509 hp or the LS
Now this is a real Lexus with all of my favorite upgrades
Excellent review. It's refreshing to see another automotive channel that appreciates the LS (and Lexus overall) for the stunning vehicle that it is. I anticipate your future Lexus and hopefully Toyota reviews patiently.
Thank you! More Lexus reviews in the near future!
+Vehicle Virgins is that a real submariner?
brorowcarwiz LOL Lexus is trash. Mercedes and BMW are on a whole different level.
The new 2018 LS will be amazing and outsell the Shopcedes Benz. Because it is always in the shop :)
IUHOOSIERIU Are you smoking crack? Mercedes and BMW may be nice, BUT they're very unreliable as they break often.
Lexus is probably the best car in the world. Far ahead of RO-ro, Merc, BMW, A-8, etc.
The Mercedes S class is an amazing car.
Kamadev888 Not ahead of the Rolls Royce though that's taking it too far. Not better than the s class with its modern interior design but let's wait for the next gen Ls coming next year I believe the Ls will beat the S class
Reliability is a luxury guys which only lexus offers
Lexus is life
My father has the same car but 2008 model. This car really is a beauty.
just picked up ,2015 LS 460 L .same interior , liquid platinum. supersedes all expectations .ty guys,you were a contributing force in my selection.....
David Pollock How's that LS 460 L? Any problems yet?
Do you still have it?
@@crxracer805 yes. 21,783 miles
yes, it's in the garage . no problems . no light in glove box that i can find
@@crxracer805 no problems ,had battery replaced just for the age of car. it's an A title ,have detailed the car many times myself .drive it with care ,i'm 71 y o.take care of my cars ....
Why I continue to own an LS: RELIABILITY.
That goes to all Lexus models ;)
wholeNwon yeah i'm a BMW &a lexus guy , but god , nothing can beat lexus/toyota reliability . so yeah, i'm more a lexus guy ;)
Another 2 reasons. Better leather and wood.
I’ve owned a BMW 5 series and I can HONESTLY say my 2015 Lexus 460 LS is best all around! Styling, comfortable ride, quiet cabin, stereo system, and RELIABILITY!
I wish I would’ve purchased one SOONER!
@@generalgambrell7283 After 2 MBs, I said the same thing. But I've had mine for 22 yrs. It was a certified MB master tech who told me that Lexus LS was superior. He was right, of course.
I love that bamboo wood! Lexus is the best! I have had 3 lexus cars! Never had any major repairs over a 15 year span!
Wonderful video and great overview of the LS460 L and I really love the quality Lexus put into the leather and bamboo wood finish.
good vid, i like that you're young guys and don't attempt stupid comedy or jokes or try to be entertaining, just straight info... refreshing...
“You could drive this car across the country and all four passengers would be comfortable” that is exactly my number one factor in buying a vehicle. The only thing I could ask for is that it a little faster. Other than that, it’s everything I want. Very reliable and beautiful
Perfect review !😊
From Japan 🇯🇵
i put my roommate into the LS style (he bought a LS400) ever since he’s bought it just finding out how advanced and packed with luxurious stuff these cars you possibly can’t go wrong with it reliability is there as well this will definitely be my next purchase
Parker your style game is so on point, always has been. Not to mention a great review as usual
Haha, thank you!
Vehicle Virgins anytime man! Congrats on the Car Throttle share!
Simply one of the best luxury sedans
Great review!
excellent review!!!
I think the LS received the most tasteful integration of Lexus' current design language.
It definitely looks nice!
What a beautiful looking car!!!
dream car
besides the GSF
Really good review, I love all your videos haha, could you possibly do a review on the Hyundai Equus, i dont think many people really know much about them.
Thank you and cool suggestion! We saw one at the auto show and it was very nice.
Rocking the Timberland boots! Haha. All jokes aside this was an amazing review, absolutely loved it!
Thank you!!
2:41 "This is a car" My video started buffering and I was like NOOOooooOOOOO, it isn't
Love this car!
Great vid!
Thank you!
You guys are awesome
Amazing car
love the color
beautiful car
When you are talking about leg room in the backseat; it would be great to let us know your height.
I'd say he's probably 5'7" feet tall.
I have owned a C class for a few years and never had any problems with it. Germans make great cars. I respect Lexus more because they have nearly all possible options as standard features on their cars while the Germans charge you a hefty price for each item. As a former Benz owner, if I had to choose it would be the Lexus.
Mercedes are not what they once used to be for reliability but they are still better than all other western cars.
i would like a review of the Lexus LX 570 Please
U guys should do a much more comprehensive review of the 2016 Ls 600hl or 600l. That is an incredible car and an S Class competitor to the core.
I love this NON glossy Paint WOOD TRIM. Hope they have it on All other WOOD type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The LS is great, but I think the extended wheelbase comes with more issues in form of suspension. Maybe all that was fixed for 2020, not sure. Wither way, its a magnificent understated sedan.
Correction: this car is as good as German competitions, and it doesn't only fill the gaps.
My beautiful and amazing mistress You probably don't own any of them. If you do, you know a BMW is a piece of junk after the warranty ends while Lexus goes years without any problems. Glad I have moved from a junkie BMW to a Lexus. Best decision ever.
Those models are what I lie to call Driveway Art. I have owned a Mercedes or what I call a "please save me" and a BMW and all I had was problems... expensive problems before 100K miles. I now own a GX and LX. Neither have given me much issues and both are over 200K. No question about what I will buy next.
My favorite model year. 460L executive package. -:)
I love this Car ....
These cars are between $35,000 for a perfect used example to Over $90,000 for an F sport with options. I have driven many cars in my lifetime, however have NEVER driven such a fine car. LS460's are known to travel 300,000 miles without a single broken part. This car is ULTRA quiet and runs 40mph per 1000rpm, which is a nutty 80mph at 2000rpm???? It's like a Star Ship at speed, no road noise and you could run it 150mph until the gas ran out... My only issue is the fact that its 4600 pounds needs at least 450hp.
Wish they had the same power as the Infiniti v8
you should review a ls400
By far the best used sedan for the price. Google maintenance required on its German competition....to me the best is the most reliable in the class and that is the Lex. The other cars have constant engineering flaws...ex the S class is known to pull to the right brand new.
Great review! Have you ever been on a 2015 Lexus ES 350? My grandma bought one yesterday, and i think is great!
Btw, nice Rolex Submariner at 3:36.
President_Honor Thank you, and we will potentially be reviewing an ES350 at some point!
Is it just me, or do all Grandma's drive ES350s? lol
+atb102798 not really because my 24 year old brother has one.
blake shade It was a joke. And the majority of ES350 buyers are 56 and older.
Can you make a review of the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee srt
Awesome video! What camera do you use??
Canon 5D Mark 3 and some go pro 4's
Black on black best interior or u can do black with white stitching
Does this model have an air suspension as an option?
seems like so long ago you guys reviewed things with a pricetag under 15 grand..
speaking of which, why not review an older LS430? i think an 02-04 will hover around 15
Will it make me go to sleep? If I’m tired?
I wanted to see the ground clearance of the LS 460
I've always liked the lexues I remember when the first came to America when I worked at a Toyota dealership now I own one es300 lexus these cars are very quiet. am thinking of buying a gs350lexus? but am keeping my es300. .
Buy the gsf
+David Castaneda We have owned two and they are amazing.
Do you think this is better than a S-class?
Song at the beginning?
A solid car indeed! One of a few that stood out for me at the LA Auto Show; a car that would be a top choice when I am a bit older ; )
For now, sports cars are for me!
2nd no brainer car that a normal person can get was the Honda CRV; all around sensible and practical.
3rd car that stood but a bit pricey was the Range Rover; awesome interior but reliability is an issue.
If the bamboo trim was stained much darker it would look better.Reminds me too much of the wooden paneled station wagons of the past that I still see and find absolutely gaudy looking. Other than that, it seems nice.
Yes, I agree. My only complaint, this bamboo looks like crap.
good vid, your friend should relax a little, sounds robotic when spitting out specs
LS is a great reliable car, love the second generation 1997- 2000 LS 300 but honestly the luxury of these new LS don't match that of Benz S class and Audi's A8 but I would still get the LS over the Bmw 7 series
I would say the luxury does match the S class. The difference with the S class is that its design is just amazing. It like some amazing modern building that should be really a spaceship.
The quality/luxury of the Lexus is on par with the S class.
Habib M Wait till the new Generation Ls is released next year. Remember this Ls has been around since 07 that's almost a decade now just refreshed to keep up with new technology. Next gen 2018 will have a whole new futuristic Interior and exterior design. compare this Ls design with the previous S class which really is its competitor and u'll see the Ls wins hands down. Better to compare the 2018 Ls when that is released next year with the new generation S Class
how you rank the lexus s-class and 7 series from 1 to 3 in terms of the ultimate luxury automobile and why ?
Evans Cheruiyot
1. Mercedes S550
2. BMW 750
3. Lexus 460L
IUHOOSIERIU interesting and I think most would agree that s-class is king but why do you think the 7 series is more luxurious than the LS ?
the battery is sucks?
Man i like you
The hyundai equus ultimate has so many more features tho... standard too.. no packages... so.. idk how you see this car as a higher tier car than the equus but okay..
Think I'll write a song called....I sold my soul to Lexus ;o)
Reminds me of SUITS
Yes.
"draped in semi ALANINE leather" 😂
compare it with S-Class, Lexus only looks good outside
what's with this disturbing new trend of putting red lights on the back bumper? do we really need more lights on our cars??
This v.s. a W221 S550. Which costs 18k give or take. Mercedes is like Apple INC, making moves to new things not copying. The radar cruise control is called Distronic Plus in Mercedes terms, which was featured on its W220 S class. (year 1999) The new W222 Mercedes features 360 surround night vision camera, you can drive with no headlights and the car will virtually drive itself, if you tape some capacitive gloves on the wheel. Please nothing beats the dual screens on the Mercedes S class, with one screen that is shared among the front passenger, and can display a totally different image the driver sees. I'm not a Lexus hater, i love my is350 but i also love my Mercedes S class.
Mitsubishi Diamante (1995) had Preview Distance Control before Mercedes, Mercedes added auto applying brakes with Distronic in 1999.
Lol...you said Apple didn't copy...lmao.
Cybertronicify Productions yea but that doesn't make up for the fact that you can only drive one for 100,000 miles with no lights coming on ,on the dash 😂
Fair review. I like my mom's Mercedes, but I love my Lexus. Both great cars.
holy shit
My mom has one
ok, my 1997 geo prizm has a 1.6 ltr 4 cyl w?around 100hp, 3 spd auto, a/c, am/fm radio no cassette or cd or anything else, not even cruise control, no pwer nothing except steering and brakes, headliner has duct tape on it and what else, ummm 176000 miles, oh, it has never broke down, ever, ever, very very reliable
My last ls400 had, 639k on it before I traded it in. 500k on these cars are a joke original everything
hey UZI, Toyota bud
And it's basically a Corolla. I had one and it was awesome!
That's because it's also a Toyota...Corolla.
I'll add, that I had a 97 Camry that I bought with 31k miles in 2000. Drove it until 2016 and sold it with 250k miles. Everything worked perfectly. I drive an LS 430 now and it's superb. Getting an LS 460 in the next year or so. Love Toyota.
Hyundai. It rhymes with Sunday.
Nce video, but......... What's with the hair?
My 2011 Infiniti M56 would eat this for lunch.
Yeah but that 7 speed automatic is kinda laggy and that car is also a boat 🛥️
2:43 BECAUSE of its reliability you can drive it across the country AND all the passengers will be comfortable
damn a Jaguar must be uncomfortable as Fu@@ hahahahah
your reviews are more like commercials
Is it only me thinking the bamboo does not go well with the rest of the interior?! It also made it look so dated :S
You aren't the only one, honestly the entire interior looks outdated and gross.
It looks amazing.
Yea just the people who cant afford it
the infiniti q70 is better please review it
Lexus 😎😎😎😎🤑🤑🤑🤓
No HUD!!!

95k god jesus
For the Mercedes, not this car!
How much does this one go for ? A lifetime savings lol
This body style is where Lexus should've stopped. The current LS looks like a bloated subcompact with a whale shark mouth. It no longer looks like a premium flagship sedan.
Nice Fucking video love it
Me be a crazy m@#$£!*r I pull out the engine and swapped on my 1996 4runner !! 😂 😜 👀 👊 🚘
3:25 lol
Get rid of that stupid mouse control and go back to touchscreen!
The Mercedes S550 absolutely shits on this. Only 360 hp? What a joke for a flagship model.
It's to expensive...
Why is the asian guy always do angry face 😢😢😢
This has way to much wood for my taste imao
U like getting wood. Hmmm
I will only buy for my grandma‘s birthday lol. I’ll keep my Maserati
lol. you guys try so hard.
Well it wasn't really that successful due to being fugly and bland inside and out. After watching this, I can understand why you didn't do more review videos like this lol
ugh, make the video when the weather is nicer? lol
The weather? It's winter, you idiot. And it's not even raining or snowing.
My Mercedes s class 2007 is way better than this and it's 10 years old
UnKn0n P your buggin bro only you believe that
1:30 talking about isolation from outside world and yet i could hear road noise ... fuck lexus
That's the camera..... sit in your car and record it. It sounds different than normal driving.
as if i've not experienced these things.
Well your comment and spelling makes you seem really clueless...
oops my bad i didn't know i was talking to internationally recognized sherlock homes boy
