Driving the new LS is a more engaging experience than in the past, yet the ride remains comfortable. The LS 500's 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 has more horsepower and torque than the V8 it replaces, and makes the LS plenty quick from a stop. It's backed by a wonderfully smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. With Drive Mode Select in Sport+ mode, suspension and engine and transmission response become more aggressive. For those who prefer to stay on the comfort side of the equation, adjustable air suspension is available for a pleasant highway ride. The LS 500 F Sport doesn't offer more power, but has a firmer ride, quick transmission shifts and feels more agile than the LS 500. Its excellent brakes are strong but not jarring. The LS 500h hybrid, with 354 total system horsepower, is almost as quick as the LS 500, with the added bonus of better fuel economy.

Always known for its high-quality, well-crafted interiors, Lexus adds modern lines and traditional Japanese artisanship to the equation. There are unique touches, such as available Kiriko-cut glass and origami-inspired cloth panels on the doors. We preferred the beautiful wood accents instead of the glass. Want to be enveloped in luxury? Enjoy the 23-speaker audio, 28-way-power seats, Shiatsu-inspired seat massagers and a reclining rear seat with ottoman. A touch pad accesses some of the car's technology. It isn’t the most intuitive system, but is worth learning, as there are plenty of appealing features there.

The Lexus LS has the most expressive styling of any LS to date, and has a newfound attitude. There's a large spindle grille up front -- a design element that's not for everyone -- flanked by jagged, angular headlights. Along the sides, the sharp angles are overtaken by smooth curves. There are design cues that would seem to contradict each other, but end up working well together. The car is longer, lower and wider than the previous LS, dimensions that put its size within a half-inch of its BMW and Mercedes-Benz competition.

There are two powertrain choices with the LS: The LS 500 is powered by a twin-turbo V6 backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission. Horsepower and torque are higher than last year, and the torque is easier to access. The LS 500h uses an Atkinson-cycle 3.5-liter V6 and two electric motors, which put out 354 total system horsepower. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is matched with a 4-speed automatic gear set, a setup designed to deliver the feel of a 10-speed automatic, with more feedback than you find in a more straightforward CVT. This transmission does offer more feedback, but at times the shifts feel artificial.3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 416 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 442 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600-4,800 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/30 mpg (RWD), 18/27 mpg (AWD)3.5-liter Atkinson cycle V6 + 2 electric motors 354 total system horsepower EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/33 mpg (RWD), 23/31 mpg (AWD)
