How long does it take for the Lexus LS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

According to official data, the Lexus LS accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, while the NX 2.0T model takes 6.6 seconds. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The Lexus LS has a maximum torque of 520 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.4 seconds. The NX has a torque of 243 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Lexus LS is equipped with a 10-speed AT transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Lexus LS has a power-to-weight ratio of 189 Hp/T, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.4 seconds. The NX has a power-to-weight ratio of 91.7 Hp/T, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.6 seconds.

Hey, I'm quite familiar with the performance of the Lexus LS. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time generally depends on the specific model. For example, the LS 500 with a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine typically achieves it in around 4.8 seconds. This speed is outstanding among luxury sedans, with quick engine response that isn't abrupt, and a smooth transmission without any jerking. There are quite a few factors affecting acceleration: selecting Sport mode makes it more aggressive, while rainy and slippery roads slow it down; vehicle weight and tire pressure also play a role. The hybrid version, the LS 500h, relies on electric power for initial thrust, with an overall time of about 5.0 seconds—slightly gentler but more fuel-efficient. On highways, this acceleration makes overtaking convenient and safe. I think it strikes a great balance, offering performance that rivals competitors while being durable and easy to maintain.

As someone who has actually driven the LS, I remember the 0-100 km/h acceleration being around 4.8 seconds. The daily driving experience is fantastic, with linear acceleration that's not jarring, especially in urban traffic where it responds quickly yet remains quiet and comfortable. The hybrid version, though slightly over 5 seconds, is very practical with its silent electric assist during startup. Cold weather might make the tires a bit stiff and slightly hinder performance, but overall it's efficient and safe. On the highway, lane changes and overtaking are effortless, and family members in the back won't complain. I recommend trying the performance mode—the difference is noticeable. However, the car's low center of gravity ensures stability during corners, adding to its handling appeal. Long-term use has shown high reliability and low maintenance, making it highly recommended.

Speaking of acceleration, the Lexus LS takes about 4.8 seconds to reach 100 km/h, which is considered fast for a comfortable luxury car. The hybrid version, the LS 500h, is around 0.2 seconds slower, but its advantage lies in energy efficiency: lower fuel consumption and environmental friendliness, saving on fuel costs without sacrificing performance. The driving experience is minimally affected by road conditions, whether dry or wet, and the transmission smoothly adapts to various scenarios. On the highway, this acceleration reduces risks, making overtaking quicker and safer. Personally, I find it economically practical with high overall value.
