The Lexus LS lineup included the LS 460, the LS 460 L (the long-wheelbase version) and the LS 600h hybrid.
The LS was one of the quietest and smoothest luxury sedans at that time. The LS 460 was driven by a 4.6-liter V8 engine that was mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. As a nice feature to add to the luxury offered, the steering system was adjusting with the vehicle’s speed.
The LS 600h was equipped with a hybrid powertrain and featured a 5.0-liter V8, and together with the electric motors, it was rated at a total of 438 hp. The LS 600h was certified as a SULEV (super ultra-low emission vehicle) and was only available with the long wheelbase.
New for 2009, both sedans could be equipped with an all-wheel-drive system.
The base models were incredibly well equipped, as well as an extensive list of optional features was available.
The safety equipment included 8 airbags, ABS, electronic brake assist, ESP, adaptive headlights and tire-pressure monitoring. A smart system was added to the list of safety features: a pre-collision system that was designed to move the seats to a neutral position and automatically closed the windows and the sunroof, and tightened the belts to reduce the risk of serious injuries.
The LS lineup offered a great combination of comfort, space and luxury.
