2 Answers
Lexus LS has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.5 seconds for the fuel version and 5.4 seconds for the hybrid version. Here is some information about the Lexus LS: 1. Class: The Lexus LS is the only D-class vehicle in the Lexus lineup, perfectly blending comfort, powerful performance, excellent handling, and safety. 2. Configuration: The upgraded Lexus LS is the first to feature a full LED exterior lighting system, including headlights, daytime running lights, front fog lights, turn signals, and combination taillights. The exterior is grand and sleek, adopting Lexus's new design style with a lower center of gravity. The fenders are integrated with the grille, and the front face features the brand's iconic spindle grille design. The logo has also been changed to a blue background, signifying its hybrid model identity. 3. Interior: The interior design is unique, fully embodying an advanced, elegant, and understated design philosophy. The craftsmanship and materials used for the steering wheel and dashboard are very refined, with ebony wood decorations that exude an eco-friendly style. The automatic climate control system integrates the car's air conditioning, seat heating/cooling, and steering wheel heating/cooling systems for more convenient control.
When I test drove the new Lexus LS500 last time, I specifically tested its acceleration. The official claim is 0-100km/h in 5.4 seconds, and it indeed feels incredibly powerful in real driving. The 3.5T V6 engine paired with the 10AT transmission delivers an intense push-back sensation when you floor it—the speedometer rockets up as soon as the revs pass 4,000 rpm. The AWD system provides exceptional grip, with no wheel slip even during rainy starts. This performance is top-tier among D-segment cars, nearly a second faster than the previous model. However, note that cold starts may slow it down by about half a second, and tire pressure should be maintained at 2.3bar for optimal results. In daily driving, Eco mode offers sufficient acceleration, but you’ll need to switch to Sport+ mode to fully unleash its potential.
