The Lexus LS has defined the Lexus brand’s luxury DNA since its debut 35 years ago, and the 2025 model pays tribute to this legacy by delivering elegance, performance, and cutting-edge technology. The LS remains the brand’s flagship sedan, with a starting MSRP of $81,685 for the LS 500 model and $116,560 for the hybrid LS 500h. As it enters its 35th year, the 2025 Lexus LS is largely unchanged from previous models, a testament to the excellence of its timeless design.

Powerful, Efficient Performance

The 2025 LS 500 comes with a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 416 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, enabling an impressive 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain balances efficiency and responsiveness, thanks to advanced technology like a wastegate control on the turbos for smoother, more efficient engine operation. Available AWD options include a Torsen® limited-slip differential to improve handling and traction, delivering exceptional cornering stability that drivers will appreciate.

For those seeking a greener option without compromising power, the LS 500h hybrid pairs the twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor, generating a combined 354 horsepower. It’s also equipped with Lexus Teammate — Lexus’s driver assistance suite that includes Advanced Drive and Advanced Park features for safer, semi-autonomous driving.

Elegance and Detail-Oriented Design

Every detail of the 2025 Lexus LS showcases the brand’s commitment to luxury and precision. From the front, the LS is marked by a distinguished spindle grille and 3-projector LED headlights arranged in a vertical stack. The powerful stance is completed by a variety of unique wheel options, such as 19-inch alloy wheels on the LS 500 or 20-inch noise-reduction wheels on the LS 500h, adorned in a Vapor Chrome finish for a refined look.

For 2025, the LS offers 10 eye-catching color choices, from Ultra White and Eminent White Pearl to the daring Matador Red Mica and elegant Nightfall Mica. Select colors, such as Silver Illusion, require an additional charge, enhancing exclusivity.

Luxurious Interiors with Japanese Craftsmanship

Inside, the 2025 Lexus LS celebrates the brand’s hallmark attention to luxury. For an additional touch of Japanese artistry, the Executive Package includes hand-applied Kiriko Glass ornamentation on the doors, inspired by traditional Japanese glassware. Haku foil, an ultra-thin metallic layer applied by hand, is also available, giving the interior a shimmering effect that evokes moonlight reflecting on water.

Rear passengers enjoy unrivaled comfort with options like heated and massaging seats, and in the Executive Package, a passenger-side seat reclines to an angle of 48 degrees. Designed for the ultimate in relaxation, this feature allows passengers to sink into a fully supportive seating position that’s as comfortable as it is ergonomic.

The F SPORT: Dynamic Looks and Handling

The F SPORT trim offers a more athletic LS experience. It emphasizes a bolder appearance, featuring exclusive grille designs and 20-inch Gloss Black Metallic alloy wheels. Inside, F SPORT-specific trim elements such as perforated seating surfaces and Naguri aluminum add to the model’s sporty appeal. Performance-wise, the LS F SPORT benefits from the LS’s GA-L platform, allowing for agile handling on twisty roads. It also includes F SPORT-exclusive 28-way adjustable seats, ensuring both comfort and support during spirited drives.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Convenience

The LS stays at the forefront of in-car technology. The 2025 model features a Lexus Interface with a 12.3-inch touchscreen that’s as intuitive as a smartphone, offering clear visuals and anti-reflective coating. Cloud Navigation with Google-powered POI data enhances directions and traffic info, while an Intelligent Assistant activated by saying “Hey Lexus” makes for easy, hands-free control over navigation, media, and climate settings.

For seamless integration with mobile devices, the LS includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, allowing access to favorite apps. Lexus Digital Key is standard on LS gas models, letting drivers use a compatible smartphone as a vehicle key, which is convenient for car-sharing and valet services.

Advanced Safety with Lexus Safety System+

Safety is a core priority for Lexus, and the LS delivers with the latest in advanced safety features. The LS 500 comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Road Sign Assist. These systems combine to offer an extra layer of awareness and protection in a wide range of driving scenarios.

For the LS 500h hybrid, Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is standard, featuring additional assistance like Front Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist, adding to the sedan’s well-rounded safety suite.
