Used 2009 Lexus LS 600h L 4dr Sedan AWD (5.0L 8cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) Consumer Reviews

Stealth Luxury Sleeper

The LS600hl's features make it one of best luxury performance vehicles on the road today. With one of the smoothest 5.0 litre engines on the road today producing 389 horsepower, and the hybrid system producing another 221 horsepower, which when combined turns out the equivalent of 438 horsepower you have one amazingly quick sleeper car. With all wheel drive and a high ratio gear set driving all four wheels, this car literally jumps off the line. From 0 to 80 kms (50 miles per hour) it equals many high performance cars. When it switches into essentially a second gear (it is a cvt), it immediately becomes a highway cruiser of the best sort. At 120 kms/75 mph, the engine is turning at approximately 1,400 rpm at a very quiet relaxed pace and is consuming about 7.2 liters per 100 kms. If you cruise at 100 kms per hour it will burn through at about 6.2 litres per 100 kms. It has a SULEV rating meaning that it is a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle producing up to 70% less emissions than the vehicles in it's class. The ride it provides, especially on long trips is super quiet, refined and extremely comfortable. In this department it is in the same class as a Rolls or a Bentley. The overall quality and refinement makes this a car that is truly a pleasure to drive. The features it provides such as self parking, LED headlights, in dash DVD player and an exceptional sound system combine to make your driving experience truly enjoyable. The fact that it can do a quarter mile in the mid to high 13's just makes it that much more enjoyable. Everything for this car just seems effortless and it is fun to drive at the same time. As Ferris Bueller would say" I would highly recommend it ".
