The Lexus LS is an engineering marvel and a beautiful cross between form and function
In today’s fast-paced world, people often find themselves in transit. From airport to home and office to city, a reliable car is an investment for a busy schedule. For executives on-the-go, the Lexus LS has become the premier choice. Lexus’ flagship sedan is an elegant and powerful choice for varied lifestyles. Beyond its make, a vehicle is only as good as the comfort of its passengers and those behind the wheel. For executives who regularly hop out of meetings and onto a cocktail event next, the workhorse that gets them there must look the part, too—and the Lexus LS does exactly that.

Tradition meets the future as Lexus marries precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. The marque seamlessly applies this across every unit’s design and engineering. Takumi Masters maintain this unique synergy of artisan automation, evinced in their adept creation of the Lexus LS. With a minimum of 30 years dedicated to their expertise, each master craftsperson is a life-long guardian of the brand. Lexus’ story of success as a luxury car brand parallels that of the lives it caters to: cars made by experts in their field, for experts in their field. It’s a story of purpose, passion and dedication.
The LS is an embodiment of Lexus’ signature excellence, which is deeply rooted in Omotenashi, the Japanese practice of anticipatory hospitality. This has long set the tone for a company culture that always exceeds expectations by constantly anticipating customers’ needs even before they realise it for themselves. This philosophy is woven into the conceptualisation of all models, as with all aspects of the business. Decidedly people-first, Lexus goes beyond churning out great cars and sets a precision focus on the drive and the ride.

The team of engineers pay nothing short of hyper-focused attention to minuscule details, like the height, curve and hardness of plush seats and the exact thud the car door makes when closed shut. The cornerstone of Japanese craftsmanship and hospitality consists of these subtleties, seemingly mundane and potentially out-of-sight details which in totality contribute to a complete luxury experience. The long-wheel base sedan has been intuitively designed to anticipate the need for a comfortable ride after a long day and on to the next destination. Kiriko-cut glass interior panels lend a soft and polished glow inside the cabin. The shimmering door embellishments are crafted by Takumi masters who delicately combine razor-thin metal foil and weaving techniques. These are just some of the features that make the Lexus LS a cut above the rest in its class.

The rear seats are designed to ensure that passengers are enveloped in unmatched comfort with body massaging and reclining memory seats, guaranteeing unparalleled comfort and accessible conveniences such as USB port chargers. The LS 500H Premier brings this a step further, introducing personal LCD display screens, headphone jacks, Ottomans and an auto dual-zone airconditioning system. The cabin additionally houses 11.6-inch LCD screens and a Mark Levinson 3D surround sound system. The cabin doubles as a mini conference for executives that attend video call meetings from anywhere, including the comfort of their cars.

The LS introduces an air suspension system that automatically adjusts the vehicle height for passengers’ comfort when entering and exiting the sedan. A Lexus first, this auto-lift up function is another thoughtful innovation where Omotenashi is evidently imbued into the technology. As the pinnacle of luxury performance in a sedan, the LS upholds the brand’s standard of safety for a confident and secure drive every time. Safety features include lane-tracing assistance, a pre-collision system, dynamic radar cruise control and stylised highbeam LED headlights.
As if all its interior features, which come in two-tone colour schemes, weren’t enough to entice, the selection of exterior colours elevate the senses. Its sleek and sophisticated silhouette is a stylish addition to the road. The LS in motion delivers an agile driving feel.
While in park, the LS is a quiet seal of luxury. Lexus continues to innovate, facing the future with respect for the same traditions that grounds it a loyal following. This commitment to designing customer experiences crafted with care, which begins inside the factory in Japan and continues well into the thousands of miles travelled across 90 countries, remains consistent in every Lexus make and model.
