The next generation of luxury Lexus saloon has arrived and it is a stunner. The updated 2013 LS range receives a major cosmetic makeover that stretches from head to toe. Lexus LS 460 has always been a little softer and rounder than other Lexus models, but no more: it finally adopts the same spindle-shaped grille used on the CT and GS and has sharper lines. The models offered in the UK will be hybrid only. The outgoing LS600 boasts a four-wheel drive, powered by 5.5 liter V8 combined with electric motor giving out 439bhp.
LS460 models continue to utilize a 32-valve 4.6-liter V-8, though it gains a little extra power for the 2013 model year. The 2013 LS models are packed with all sorts of advanced features. Lexus’ Enform infotainment system allows users to connect their smart phones in order to access Pandora Internet radio, make restaurant reservations, search via Bing, or access Facebook information. All interior lighting is LED-based, and a nine-channel, 10-speaker audio system is standard. The new Lexus has an aggressive look with a moderate change.
