The new Lexus LS, which is just an extensive facelift and refresh of their six year-old model, has officially shown its new ‘F-Sport’ face at the Paris Motor Show. With the striking new nose, it’s hard to tell that it is, in fact, the old model, but it is one of the most imposing luxury car noses we have seen, a trait which will undoubtedly get it a loyal band of followers.
The flagship model, the LS600h, with the F-Sport face features the same 5.0-liter V8 engine as its predecessor, which in conjunction with an electric motor produces 438 hp. This means that it can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.5 seconds, in any weather, as it features all-wheel drive.

On the inside, the new LS gets a redesigned interior, where even the steering wheel is special. The focal point of the whole interior space is the 12.3-inch invotainment system, which is complimented by slew of new (and better quality) interior trim pieces.

As one would expect from such a car, comfort is at the top of the priorities list, so it gets very sumptuous front seats, and a very roomy rear space, where rear occupants can stretch out and unwind, as well as benefit from a whole host of rear comfort features, now commonplace on all modern competitors.

Standard features for the LS600h include, but are not limited to, full-leather interior, hand-crafted wood trim, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats and steering wheel, 19-speaker Mark Levinson audio setup, automatic parking and a lot more.
