Luxury cars often take a trip down a road that no luxury car should travel down, and that is the journey where power seems to be more. This is simply not the case with the 2018 Lexus LS 500 F Sport, as it is designed with the luxury still at the forefront. Discover a few features that make this an optimal luxury car choice for the new year.
It Looks Like Pure Luxury
Both the exterior and interior have been brushed with a luxurious paintbrush to reveal the luster synonymous with the Lexus brand. This model features a splendid take on the spindle grille. It looks even better when paired with the side grilles that not only look good but also provide that extra boost to the cooling performance. The silhouette is sleek with accentuated areas that provide additional visual interest.
On the inside, Lexus fans can look forward to an exclusive trim specifically designed for this model. There is even a Circuit Red interior, which is only available on the F Sport models.
Performance Remains an Impressive Feature
Although performance is not at the heart of this model, it’s tough to ignore the sheer power of the drive. The car offers a 3.5-liter V6 engine that purrs gently through acceleration and rivals most standard and even luxury sedans. This is thanks to the 415 horsepower, and 442 provides just enough power for a perfect ride. It is also a powerhouse on the open road with 442 pound-feet of torque. The crowning glory has to be the first-ever, 10-speed automatic transmission in a luxury sedan.
Good for the Environment
Not only does this model sport the ability to be lighter on the pocket, in the long run, it also does its bit for the environment. It offers a Multi-Stage Hybrid System, which is the combination of a 3.5-liter V6 engine and two electric motors. It also uses a lightweight, lithium-ion battery. The engine is naturally aspirated and uses D-4S direct fuel injection. There is plenty that happens in this dual-engine to ensure the car performs as a luxury sedan should while taking full advantage of the technology at its disposal.
It Has a Sporting Soul
This may not be the optimal performance vehicle, but it does provide plenty of sport for the owner. The GA-L platform allows drivers to experience the top three requirements of a luxury sedan. These are enhanced handling capabilities, a smooth ride, and the cabin quietness. This vehicle ticks all those boxes. The car is issued standard with 20-inch wheels that allows it to stick to the road even on tough corners. The sport-tuned air suspension also helps to keep things together around tricky bends.
The 2018 Lexus LS 500 Sport is a force to be reckoned with on the road. Minor tweaks and a few designer adjustments allow this car to be in a class of its own. It is only a short distance for this brand to travel to rival other luxury brands such as BMW and Mercedes Benz, thanks to superior models such as these.
