"NOTHING about this car reminds me of any vehicle in its class." I would agree insofar as it is the most hideous looking car to ever infiltrate this class.
Flagships, definitely, I would buy a 3 series (what I currently drive) I wouldn't buy their flagship 7 series. Now Lexus, I wouldn't buy their tiny little IS models but an LS I'll take.
I own a Mercedes, and to me, the S-class was always the top of the line when it came to interior---perfection! Not a single car could touch the complete package offered by the current S-class...until I sat in the new LS! The interior quality and fit-and-finish leagues above what current standards are in my opinion. I'm used to Mercedes' Comand system, so the setup in the LS seemed odd and not easy quick and easy to use, but I think you could get used to it until you get proficient the way I got used to my car. What's most impressive was how I fell in love with an LS500 that was in the showroom floor. I was looking at the details inside and out, and hadn't really bothered to look at the price because I was expecting it to be ~$100k. I was shocked to find out the price for it was only $88K!! Blew my mind!! I love Mercedes, but this LS will be my next car!!
DeOndre Anderson I think BMW is coming out with a M8 because they discontinued the M6 coupe with the intent of replacing the M6 coupe with a M8. And they revealed the M8 GTE race car not too long ago.
There are a lot of us out there that are not "brain washed" and unlike the heards of cattle that blindly follow the mob, some of us have balls to stand up and say the emperor is naked!!!
Lexus did a tremendous job again! I myself is a lexus enthusiast. I've already driven many lexuses such as, 2013/2014 es350, 2011 es350, gs350 f sport, is350 f sport, nx200t f sport, 2016 rx350. All i can say is fantastic 2 drive!
@@kristians2704 if better means your drive belt coming off as you are driving your vehicle and leaving you stranded, then yeah..True Story. Happened to my dad's bmw 535i
Another outstanding review from Sofyan. Great info, insights and details. And real-time reactions! Great stuff as always. I want one more than the GS now, thanks to your comments.
Incredible! One thing to note is that this is really the only sporty full size luxury sedan available for under six figures. Sure, the Germans will gladly sell you an S63/65, S8, or M760Li, but this is serious bang for the buck. And I stand by my golden rule - lease a German, buy a Japanese (read: reliability, something most reviewers don't take into consideration).
Toyota4Life Should be happening for the next generation GS F without question (as long as they don't discontinue). I imagine lexus should be bringing back an F variant for the IS line.
This is a dream vehicle hands down. For a 30's aged man...this with a non-digger wife with a child seat in the rear...is enough for a dreamer to strive for. I'm sure a Panamera or an Audi S7 vehicle...or even some high class Mercedes Lux class would fill that void....it's hard not to appreciate the Lexus LS class and live in comfort that this vehicle will perform and create that lux comfort bubble that this vehicle will provide for them. With that said.....I'm lower level class and this vehicle is a dream. I don't care if this review down plays the look of the LS400....it was still the quintessential baby carrier with spunk to have mom and dad in the front piloting. Love the Lexus class LS.
9:00 Honestly, it's about time that car manufacturers started to work with real tech companies to design and develop the infotainment systems. Other than some of the top systems from MB and maybe Audi, car companies really don't do them right. Many of the maps and graphics look like 2004 instead of 2018.
To say the new LS looks fantastic is an understatement. What a fabulous-looking flagship sedan. Imagine if the next gen GS would look similar to the LS, like a baby LS. That would be a hit. 😎
Our new LS 500 is an undisputed pinnacle of our entire team of engineers, designers and takumis (our master artisans and craftsmen). There will be more and more surprises and shocks coming within auto industry, reviewers, critics as well as general public very soon. Our engineers' and designers' ideas and imagination as to design concepts were finally unleashed by their being given freedom and independence they had so desperately needed for so long. LEXUS did not want to be tied to Toyota anymore, and the outcome began to finally show itself. Akio Toyoda's passionate and unwavering support for LEXUS success as a luxury brand certainly does not hurt. LF-LC design concept started it, LC 500 picked up where LF-LC concept left off, all ending with stunningly looking LC 500. However, LS 500 is in the category of its own. Our team managed to put together a masterpiece of a vehicle, which combines the handling (performance, dynamics, horsepower) with the famous serene, whisper quiet ride and unmatched comfort and luxury and, let's not forget, the famous reliability and dependability. This is the most difficult task for any manufacturer to accomplish. Germans and others have never been able to execute this extremely difficult task. Yet, our team of the very best of the best in each category of vehicle assembly, which is necessary for producing such a masterpiece of a vehicle, was able to execute the goal of making LS 500 once again the leader of the luxury segment after nearly 20 years with mind-boggling precision. Only a team of fully dedicated and proud geniuses could have pulled off such a feat. LEXUS will become the best selling luxury brand in my country of the United States in very near future. It is not a matter of "if" but "when." Watch for more stunning design concepts to come out in the coming years, which then will be turned into production ready designs. There is no stopping LEXUS now, LEXUS will keep plowing through their competition. It has just happened so with LS 500, which simply can be matched by no auto manufacturer in the world. Even the new Mercedes Benz S-class pales in comparison.
I applaud Lexus for trying so hard with all controversial exterior and interior design and material used. No other manufacturer would give you a choice of pattern and texture at this price point. The mode selector beside the gauge cluster really spoils the clean lines of the dash though. You can't help but stare at them everytime you drive this car. The best part about this car is really the back seat though. A big let down is no folding rear seats or even a ski pass through. Amazing car nonetheless. I would love to be driven in one!
Just because a Toyota Camry debuted first to the public it doesn't mean the Lexus LS has taken styling techniques from a Camry. These cars have been finalized for years, but recently made a public appearance.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is more than a car, vehicle or whatever we to be defined as a transport, we are talking about Lexus! It is a Lexus; a real ART!
The question is... Is this "all-new twin turbocharged 3.5L V6" reliable? I don't care if it's "all-new", if I did, I would choose a German competitor. I care about it not ending in the shop after the warranty ends. That's why I would buy a Lexus.
Boba Fett given how the first batch usually goes, it’s probably going to experience some issues. I’d advise against buying something that’s generation 0 essentially in terms of engine design. Also, these turbos are now developed in-house, so the quality control SHOULD be better....
This LS will easily smoke every single full size sedan with any type of V6 engine. It's actually even faster than the twin turbo v8 S550 and is just a tick slower than the turbo v8 7 Series. This LS vs turbo V8 competitors is a much closer and better comparison than comparing this to the V6's from those cars.
Isn’t it just a Toyota 3.5L with some turbos added? I’m pretty sure all they had to do was reinforce the components to handle the added boost. I mean the 3.5L v6 has been around a long time 🤷🏾♂️.
Seriously considering an LC500 when my current lease is up. However, I'll probably drive the LS as well. Biggest objection is lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Also, really skeptical about twin turbo V6 instead of a good old fashion V8.
What a beauty! People that buy crossovers that don't need it are morons. Worse performance, poor fuel economy, and that's the worse combination. I'm glad Lexus has done such a great job with the new LS. I'd like to drive one to check out the new engine.
Mr A everyone feels different. You may be much interested in the Lexus brand but not me. If you like, you buy. Why do you ask me like that? You know, your behavior makes me think you are a shit on that car
I need the gsF looks nice, but that v8 is the key for me. Its bullet proof, takes nitrous or boost easy and can still daily it . That lexus v8 just sounds so good. The TTv6 runs but doesn’t match the car to me. Hopefully aftermarket will help reach 500-600whp . Cuz ive seen a few gsF making 500 on the ground
NOTHING about this car reminds me of any vehicle in its class. This beauty is in a class of its own. Lexus has done an exceptional job.
It's a Porsche Panamera drawn by a drunk designer. Look at it again.

"NOTHING about this car reminds me of any vehicle in its class." I would agree insofar as it is the most hideous looking car to ever infiltrate this class.
Yea but for the price it is a piece of shit. I rather get a GTR or a truck and they're way cheaper.

Straight truth!
Probably the best Lexus interior I've ever seen.
Ness Rosenbrad um it is the best luxury LS so it should be
The 2013 LS460 had one of the nicest interior of any car. A significant improvement over the 2007-2012.
Interior... The exterior (especially the rear) is straight out of a $30,000 Toyota Camry..
And did anyone else notice that they went from the touchpad then back to the mouse then back to the touchpad..?

+DeOndré Anderson Apparently the LS and LC will get an F variant around 2020 - 2021. They're supposed to have a 600hp+ twin turbo V8.
+DeOndré Anderson LOL, yeah. Lexus seriously needs to work on their timing.

Kos Sports They will, a detuned version of this engine will trickle down to the lesser models. Mark my words
Brandon Ritzie I sure hope so. They've needed new engines for a while now.

Saw this in black the other day and it really is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Dream car for sure
I cant wait to get done with college and have a decent career

The way a Flagship car should be. Stunning design, not boring like the Germans.
Deem M not all Germans are boring but I do agree most are lol and it’s probably the one I like too 😂
I meant the German cars and their designs are boring. Didn't mean Germans are boring, very conservative though. :)
Are you mad?

Karun Chendrimada Who cares.
Just got mine! Waited 3 years. Worth it! Not much depreciation unfortunately. But amazing car. It’s fast!

This twin turbo 6 engine and AWD would be great for the Lexus ES F Sport.
Visually it blows the competition out of the water.

Lexus always underrates by far. I have a 2009 LS it's @ 1 full sec. Faster 0-100 and I pull 34mpg at 90mph. Not even close to their rating.
I have a 2010 LS460L. I agree with the having a dial instead of the touch pad. I would love to own one of these w/ the upgraded rear seat package.
16:55 its a AWD and then it turns into RWD 21:03 must be amazing!!

@Kool Acclaimed™ - Lexus is owned by Toyota. The same design language can be found in both brands. Shared technology, similar designs.

The question is... Is this "all-new twin turbocharged 3.5L V6" reliable? I don't care if it's "all-new", if I did, I would choose a German competitor. I care about it not ending in the shop after the warranty ends. That's why I would buy a Lexus.
Boba Fett given how the first batch usually goes, it’s probably going to experience some issues. I’d advise against buying something that’s generation 0 essentially in terms of engine design. Also, these turbos are now developed in-house, so the quality control SHOULD be better....
With turbo, it can never be as reliable as a NA V8.
This LS will easily smoke every single full size sedan with any type of V6 engine. It's actually even faster than the twin turbo v8 S550 and is just a tick slower than the turbo v8 7 Series.

I own a 2008 Lexus Is 600h L and after seeing this. Its time to upgrade.
it needs to be a V8 twin turbo, 500 HP.
The design language of the interior cockpit is very uniquely artistic and yet powerfully stunning. SPECIAL.

Still kinda iffy about the bright red interior 🤔
Yeah i get what your saying
You start disliking it the more you see it.
If I had to dig deep for a complaint, it would be sacrificing the V-8 for the more fuel efficient V-6. There is nothing like the rumble of a V-8
Second best Lexus, the first one is the LFA
They should’ve made it optional V8 like the BMW 7-Series. Looks great btw
