2024 Lexus LS500 Review! Interior,Exterior

Показать описание
The 2024 Lexus LS is the automaker's flagship luxury sedan and largest non-SUV offering. Launched stateside in 1990 as a Mercedes Benz S-class competitor with a more attractive price, the LS helped the emerging Lexus brand achieve near-instant recognition and success. The current, fifth-generation 2024 LS strives to deliver the same levels of luxury and performance that put it in the spotlight, but it lacks the cohesiveness and laser-focused execution that made previous versions so remarkable. Previous generations wore a statelier look than the more contemporary-styled one you see here, and the current car's interior is still loaded with quality materials, but it doesn't quite live up to the standard set by rivals. A 416-horsepower turbocharged V-6 returns smooth acceleration but lacks any real visceral appeal; a hybrid powertrain is available too. The ride is smooth and the cabin whisper quiet, but uninspiring handling and the lack of an available eight-cylinder engine make the LS500 a bit of an outlier in a class where longtime rivals such as the S-class and the BMW 7-series still offer V-8 power and more balanced chassis dynamics. Though not offensive in any measure, the Lexus feels like its maker simply misjudged what’s needed to compete at the top of this expensive segment. #carstribe #car #cars #luxury
