Description:
The LS is the sedan that launched the Lexus brand, but the 2021 model wears a much sharper suit than the 1990 original. Going up against established luxury four-doors such as the Audi A8, BMW 7-series, and Mercedes-Benz S-class is just as much of a challenge today as it was when the LS first rolled onto the scene, but the Lexus charms with its Japanese aesthetic and standout design. A twin-turbo V-6 is standard, but those concerned with fuel efficiency can upgrade to a hybrid powertrain—although its lumpy power delivery isn’t particularly luxurious. The same could be said of the LS’s driving experience: It lacks the athleticism we’ve come to appreciate in several of its competitors. But the LS’s interior is every bit as quiet and nearly as comfortable as those of its German rivals, and you’ll still look like a boss when you pull up to the valet stand.
