Lexus Australia has put a price on the new face of Japanese luxury, the 2013 Lexus LS sedan, which is significantly overhauled. This large sedan now sports the spindle grille and comes with more features, but the same engine range.
We look at it as a facelift for a 2007 model, but Lexus say that half of the car is all-new, with only the doors and roof being kept from the old sheetmetal.
The range begins with the LS460 F Sport, a brand new sports model with a price tag of AU$189,900, followed by the LS460 Sports Luxury, with adds features and starts from $192,400. But if that scares you, know that the LS600h, the only hybrid model in the range, costs almost AU$220,000.
The list of toys is impressive, GPS-corrective analog clock in the dash, new TFT instrument panel, a 12.3-inch LCD display screen, 20 air vents to cool or warm you, a revised chassis and improved sound proofing.
Power continues to be provided by a 4.6-liter V8, which is returns official combined ratings of 10.7 l/100 km combined with CO2 emissions of 249 grams. The 600h comes with reduced emissions and economy – 199g/km of CO2, with fuel consumption rated at 8.6L/100km.
