Lexus' Fresh LS 500

When Lexus came to the US in 1989, it was the LS sedan that defined Lexus’ fresh image and was heartily set loose onto the streets. Precise styling and moderately priced luxury was a no-brain choice for the high-end vehicle buyer. The brand has ascendingly become even more prevalent in the luxury line-up thanks to the recent surge in SUV popularity and Lexus’ admirable SUV selection. This year, however, the Lexus LS is anticipated to reignite sedan love in the ever more inclusive market.

Lexus’ 2018 LS 500 could be described as bigger and badder, but one may venture too far saying that it has taken heed to the markets predominant push for more aggressive styling and sporty cues. The LS stands firm in its exceedingly refined regalia that certainly appeals to conservative shoppers. The revised fascia still features the trademark spindle grille, accented by impossibly sleek ‘Z’ shaped headlights that taper into the waist of the spindle grilles figure. This feature is not only eye-catching, it is unexpectedly enrapturing.

The Lexus LS is a luxury car first; hence the new 2018 model steps up to the plate with the full suite of the automaker's advanced safety tech, new interior trim themes inspired by Japanese Shimamoku wood patterns and a remarkably quiet cabin-  rather advantageous for the optional Mark Levinson audiophile system to work in. The LS will also be available with an optional 24-inch color head-up display, which the automaker claims is the largest in the world.

Regardless of the focus on luxury, the performance of the LS is commendable, and speaks for itself.  The 3.5 L V6 has a remarkable output of 415 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. Paired with its suave 10 speed transmission, driving the LS is simultaneously exhilarating and tranquil powering through highways and gliding through the city. Lexus times the LS going 0-60 mph on par with performance oriented cars- in just 4.5 seconds- quite an impressive feat for a full-sized sedan.

The LS has been meticulously pruned for this years release and has full intent to steal the spotlight from Lexus’ popular SUVs. Whether youre looking for a refined vehicle with convincing performance or simply desire luxurious amenities without an insane starting price; the 2018 LS is going to be a prime candidate for you.
