2014 Lexus LS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2014 Lexus LS is Siri Eyes Free compatibility for the multimedia system. Otherwise, this is a quiet carryover year following the LS's substantial 2013 update.
About the 2014 Lexus LS
4th generation LS (XF40, 2007-2017), second model year after the major 2013 redesign/update.
Lexus positioned the LS as its flagship luxury sedan for buyers who cared more about quietness, craftsmanship, and long-distance comfort than aggressive handling. The model’s identity centered on smooth V8 power, a hushed cabin, understated styling, and a traditional luxury feel, with the long-wheelbase LS 460 L aimed more at rear-seat comfort and the LS 600h L adding hybrid power and richer standard equipment. Against German rivals, the LS sold serenity, build quality, and ease of use.
The LS 460 is the core flagship sedan, pairing a 4.6-liter V8 with a quiet leather-lined cabin and a 12.3-inch navigation display. The longer LS 460 L adds rear-seat room, while the LS 600h L tops the range with a 438-hp hybrid V8, standard AWD, adaptive air suspension, and reclining rear seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions.
