Lexus strives to make the 2017 LS 460 sedan supreme in all areas, and when it comes to luxury, build, value and technology, we’d say they’ve nailed the target. However, in the area of performance, more precisely handling, the LS still takes a back seat to the BMW 7 Series and Porsche Panamera. On the open highway, the LS glides effortlessly mile after mile. Its steering is precise and responsive and the cabin is whisper-quiet. Those who wish a bit more involvement in the driving process need only fiddle with the Drive Mode Select knob that features different settings for throttle, steering and suspension response. Order the F Sport Package and you’ll get the LS in its most aggressive form. With 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes and a sport-tuned air suspension, the F Sport trim brings the big LS a step closer to its European rivals, but not enough so to overtake them.
REMOTE TOUCH INTERFACE Found in a number of Lexus vehicles, this mouse-like controller allows for easy control of the infotainment and navigation systems. The controller’s location at the base of the driver’s right arm makes it easier to use than tapping a touch screen while the car is in motion.EXECUTIVE CLASS REAR-SEATING PACKAGE Available only on the stretched L model, the Executive Class Package includes a reclining right-side seat with ottoman and shiatsu massage function. Separating rear-seat passengers is a wood-trimmed console table with controls for climate, audio and the Blue-ray entertainment system.
The 2017 Lexus LS’s interior is proof that if you put in the effort you can get as close to perfect as imaginable. There is not a stitch out of place, not a flaw from headliner fit to carpet thread. Seating is wonderful, technology features abound, ergonomics thoughtfully ideal. There are choices of leathers, colors and accompanying trims, including a very attractive matte bamboo. Rear-seat passengers are treated as well as those in front, and perhaps even better in the long-wheelbase versions. The F Sport models are sportier, at least within a Lexus definition of that concept.
The wide grille, bulging hood and distinctive rear make the 2017 model the most radical-looking LS to date although, compared to some other Lexus offerings, it's appropriately restrained. The long-wheelbase LS 460 L hides its length, if not considerable image, well. On the other hand, the LS 460 F Sport, with its aggressive front and rear ends, 10-millimeter-reduced ride height and 19-inch wheels stands out in the crowd. The LS 460, in all forms, is a good-sized, impressive-looking luxury sedan and no parking valet will miss the big L in the middle of the grille.
Standard equipment on the thoroughly equipped 2017 Lexus LS 460 includes 18-inch wheels with hollow spokes that reduce noise, power door closers, grain-matched wood trim, a 12.3-inch display screen, TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color multi-information display, individual rear-seat vanity mirrors, parking sensors and rearview camera, power tilt-and-slide moonroof, and Lexus (SD memory card-based) Navigation with a wide range of features, conveniences, integrated smartphone apps and data services. On balance, we can easily recommend the standard-issue LS 460; we like its blend of moderate size and generous luxury and, with its extensive complement of features, it represents excellent value for the money.
The 2017 Lexus LS 460 offers an extensive list of options. For demanding audiophiles we recommend the 19-speaker Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound system. Packages include the Ultra Luxury Package, F Sport Package, Adaptive Variable Air Suspension Package, the Comfort Package and the Executive Seating Package; notice, most of these are to enhance the already-impressive luxury and convenience attributes of the LS. Safety-related options include the Lexus Advanced Pre-Collision Package, which sounds an alert if the driver isn't paying attention; adaptive cruise control, which maintains a preset distance behind the vehicle ahead; and a pedestrian-detection and pre-collision system.
The 2017 Lexus LS 460 has a 386-horsepower 4.6-liter V8, silky 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD). With the optional all-wheel drive (AWD) the horsepower drops to 360. Despite its sportier intentions, the F Sport trim does not include a bump in horsepower. Expectedly, the LS requires premium fuel.4.6-liter V8 (LS 460 RWD) 386 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm 367 lb-ft of torque @ 4,100 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24 mpg (RWD) 4.6-liter V8 (LS 460 AWD) 360 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm 347 lb-ft of torque @ 4,100 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/23 mpg (AWD) Note: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.
The standard-wheelbase 2017 Lexus LS 460 has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of about $ 73,500 including the $ 975 destination charge. The long-wheelbase LS 460 L will cost just under $ 80,000; AWD will be about $ 3,000 more for the LS 460 and around $ 4,000 for the LS 460 L. By comparison, the Jaguar XJ, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series start in the $ 75,000 range, the Porsche Panamera is about $ 80,000 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is well above $ 90,000. Still, everyone loves a bargain, so check out the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for the Lexus LS 460. Smart investors will be happy to know that no other car in its segment beats the 2017 Lexus LS on residual values.
In 2017, the Lexus LS got renewed getting in line with the automaker's latest design language and technology.
While the GS and IS were completely redesigned from the ground up, Lexus decided the LS could continue into the 2013 model year with just a facelift.
If American car-manufacturer heads had been warned about a Japanese take-over in the mid 80's, they would have almost certainly laughed at the prospect. Humorous or not, the Japanese did conquer US, not through mecha led wars but rather through anime and cars. However, before the mild-assault began, there were a series of weird meetings held in secrecy in chairman chambers.
Such a meeting was held in 1983 between Toyota chairman Eiji Toyoda and his company executives. Toyoda had not invited his enforcers over for cookies and tea but to question them about the possibility of developing a luxury-car line that could successfully compete with American brands. The project was labeled as F1 -Flahship 1- and proved to be a most lucrative endeavor. The result was a vehicle that later became known as the Lexus LS 400 prior to its US premier.
The LS 400 was not just a car that took time and resources to built. In researching American luxury-product consumer habits and lifestyles, the Japanese went as far as renting a house in Laguna beach in order to observe their “subjects” closely. Offspring of long-gestating consumer research and cutting-edge engineering, the LX 400 was a hit.
Endorsed by insightful advertising, the LS 400 made its entrance at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, 1989 where it was one of the main attractions. And how could it not have been after 24 engineering teams and a few thousands employees worked on 450 prototypes at the cost of a paltry $ 1 billion investment?
The main advantage Lexus had over Acura, that had reached US markets 3 years before, was its uniqueness. Unlike the first Acura models which were sold as rebadged Hondas, the Lexus held little connections to Toyota design patterns.
Silent, ergonomic, powerful and reliable, the LS became a fierce competitor for European imports such as Mercedes Benz and BMW, whose sales drastically dropped following Lexus' trumpeting market entrance.
Models like the ES 250 followed which along the LS registered enough sales to allow the brand expanding through an 81-dealership network. During those first years of sales, Lexus became the top-selling luxury car in the U.S. Things were going smoothly for the Japanese manufacturer, just like its cars, and in 1991, two new models were released: the SC400 coupe and the ES 300 sedan. The latter was marketed as a replacement for the ES 250 and quickly became the company's best selling sedan.
Following the release of a heir to the LS 400 and the Toyota Aristo-based series of the GS, Lexus entered the sport utility vehicle segment in 1996 with the launch of the LX 450, a large car based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 100. By 1998, Lexus would release the RX, a top-selling crossover based on Toyota's Camry model as well as a new series of the GS. During the following years, further technological improvements such as the introduction of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system on the 2005 RX 400h, resulted in an even greater sales increase.
Things were so good for Lexus that it has constantly grown since its inception. The brand has been introduced to the Japanese home-market in 2005 as well as it has in other regions of Asia and South America as well as Australia and Europe. By 2007, Lexus had spread in over 50 countries and it continues to grow. The company's “pursuit of perfection” is fronted by its current line-up, comprised of the IS, LS and RX series among others as well as the avant-garde LF-A concepts.

"Quality and comfort"
I've owned a couple Lincoln Towncars, ridden in several full size Mercedes, even a new Maybach. My 2007 Lexus LS matches their ride, has power (18 mpg in town; 30 mpg on interstate), excellent handling, haven't had to repair anything in 115K and it shows no signs of decay. This thing just won't die! Will be very difficult finding a replacement vehicle in kind.
