About the 2025 Lexus LS
5th generation LS (2018-2026), late-cycle year; last year with the full U.S. LS lineup before 2026 narrows to a limited Heritage Edition.
The LS is Lexus’s large luxury sedan for buyers who want quiet long-distance comfort, careful interior craftsmanship, and easy-to-use technology instead of a flashy, screen-heavy experience. Lexus frames the model around Japanese hospitality, so the focus is on ride comfort, seat comfort, low cabin noise, and thoughtful details. Compared with German rivals, the LS leans more toward smoothness, simplicity, and long-term durability than aggressive performance or dramatic cabin theatrics.
The LS 500 remains the core luxury sedan, pairing a 416-hp twin-turbo V6 with a quiet cabin and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The LS 500 F SPORT adds a more assertive look, stronger brakes, sport-tuned suspension, and heavily bolstered seats. The LS 500h is the more fully equipped choice, with a 354-hp hybrid system, standard AWD, massaging front seats, reclining rear seats, and a 23-speaker Mark Levinson audio system.
