Pros: Incredibly quiet cabin; impressively smooth ride; outstanding interior trim
Cons: Handling not as sharp as class rivals, even in F Sport form; some drivers dislike joystick interface of Lexus Remote Touch system
CG Says: The Lexus LS 600 h Hybrid has been discontinued. The remaining Lexus LS models are little changed for 2017–awaiting a complete designed for 2018. This premium large sedan is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 that develops 386 horsepower in rear-wheel drive cars and 360 hp with all-wheel drive. The LS excels as a quiet, composed, and refined executive sedan. The long-wheelbase L is available with power-reclining rear seats. Its audio/infotainment control interface and handling prowess lag behind some class rivals, but not enough to detract from the overall goodness of this premium large car. The LS is exactly what it needs to be: a slick alternative to established European competitors. Anyone with the means to acquire such a car would be remiss in not putting this Lexus near the top of their shopping list.
