Price: $52,990

The 2020 Lexus LS 500 does an admirable job as an executive sedan. It has an exquisite cabin filled with high-end materials and premium features. It's priced competitively too, offering good value for money in this prestigious segment. Its technology, however, falls behind class leaders.

Love mt 2018 LS500 AWD

BJOSE, 03/24/2019

2018 Lexus LS 500 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Awesome car. I moved from a 2016 GS350. what a difference in interior quality! LS500 is undoubtedly leaps above the GS. Don't get me wrong... GS is a great car in its own class. But the LS is a much better car. I was thinking of BMW 540 and Benz E450. in the end, when I test drove those vs the LS500, I realized that I love the LS better than the other 2. and the peace of mind that comes …

Expected Smoother Ride

2018 Lexus LS 500 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

The best part of my car is it’s stunning exterior. It’s beautiful, and the inside is great too. I don’t like the ride, for a Lexus. They come with No Flat tires because there is no spare tire.

Dream Drive and Dependibility

2020 Lexus LS 500 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Have had both BMW and Mercedes and both were mechanically horrible, and certainly not comfortable. These are strictly performance cars living on that reputation. If you are looking for true LUXURY then you need to look elsewhere. My definition of luxury is comfort, soft leather, 28 way adjustable seats, easy entrance and exit, beautiful exterior and interior, and knowing I'll be able …

Life ain’t a trial run.. go for it

Pursuit of Excellence , 12/29/2019

2020 Lexus LS 500 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Ok. The touch pad is a little tricky. The rest of it hits the mark..I just traded the Mercedes S class for the LS and granted they are different machines but Luxury is Luxury..Absolutely no buyers remorse and driving the Lexus still makes me feel like a unadulterated spoiled brat...it all works for me..
