If you are wondering what Lexus has in store for its LS model in 2018, you might want to pop down to your local dealer for a leaflet, or better yet, a test drive. In the meantime, to help you make up your mind, here are a few details to help you learn all about the 2018 Lexus LS.
Hybrid LS and LS for Great Economy
The LS 500 made its debut in New York with the new hybrid model. You have the option to buy the hybrid, which is better on fuel and gives you the same performance as the gasoline model. You will get a 3.5-liter twin turbo engine for great performance, which replaces the previous 4.6 liter V8. The engine gives drivers the same performance, but it is better for both the environment and fuel economy. You can select between gas and hybrid on the 2018 F-Sport model, as well.
All About Performance
It is stated by Lexus that the new 2018 Lexus LS 500 will accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in only 4.5 seconds. You will get stable 20-inch wheels on the coupe version, and V8 performance on a V6 twin turbo engine, providing 415 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. The 10-speed automatic transmission system of the new Lexus is designed with the fun-loving driver in mind, providing instant acceleration, thanks to the D-4S direct fuel injection system.
The Lexus LS Sport
The Lexus LS Sport is the ultimate sport coupe. It offers a lower suspension system than previous models, larger gears, and faster acceleration. It features special sport seats, all-wheel drive, and more precise steering and optional rear wheel steering. The Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management also provides better traction control than previous models. Applying the GA-L architecture in the exterior and interior design of the car, Lexus has created a car that is great for quick maneuvers despite its size. The weight of the car has also been reduced by 90 kg, further improving its performance.
Advanced Safety Features
The safety system of the new Lexus LS has also undergone some changes, including the Lexus Safety System+ suite, which now has a pre-collision system, automatic pedestrian detection and avoidance, lane departure alert, and allows CoDrive on highways. The passenger protection has also been updated and features a more rigid passenger compartment.
Silence and Comfort
One of the best features of the 2018 Lexus LS model, however, is the outstanding silence in vehicle’s interior. Thanks to the redesign of the cabin. you can now enjoy a quiet ride. The exhaust is much quieter, as it has undergone a revamp, and the sound-suppression methods implemented in the vehicle will allow both drivers and passengers to enjoy on-board entertainment without distraction. The graphic user interface is fun and designed to mimic smartphones. When you buy the new Lexus LS, you can opt for 28-way adjustable front seats and temperature control seats, or the 12.32 heads-up navigation screen.
