Used 2021 Lexus LS 500h Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 Lexus LS 500h is available in a single trim level. It's powered by a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine augmented with two electric motors. Combined system output is 354 horsepower. A unique transmission combines a traditional four-speed automatic and a continuously variable automatic into a single unit. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional.

The standard feature list is long and comprehensive and includes:

  • LED headlights
  • Adaptive air suspension system (adjusts to enhance ride comfort and handling as well as the LS' ride height)
  • Automatic soft-closing doors
  • Sunroof
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable headrests
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Power rear sunshade

Technology and driver assistance features include:

  • 12.3-inch touchscreen display
  • Navigation system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connection
  • 23-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound system
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Lexus and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the LS 500h back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

While the standard LS 500h comes remarkably well equipped, a half-dozen option packages make it possible to boost the luxury factor by multiples. Whether you plan to chauffer VIPs or simply earn the highest ride-share ratings around, the LS 500h can be enhanced with packages such as:

  • Luxury package
    • Power-adjustable passenger seat with massage
    • Power-reclining rear seats with memory function
    • Four-zone climate control
    • Power side window shades
    • Leather-wrapped rear armrest
  • Lexus Safety System+ A package
    • Adaptive cruise control with Lane Change Assist (can automatically change lanes during cruise control when the driver activates the turn signal)
    • Active steering assist (applies corrective steering action to avoid or minimize an imminent forward collision if the driver doesn't react in time)
    • Front cross-traffic alert (warns if a vehicle is about to cross the vehicle's forward path)

Which LS 500h trim does Edmunds recommend?

Really, this flagship luxury sedan comes with every standard feature you could want. But if by chance the 16-way power-adjustable front seats aren't comfortable enough, you can upgrade to seats with 28-way adjustment and massage function. For enhanced safety, make sure to get the Safety System+ A package for its enhanced adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking systems.
