Reviews Summary

Since its 1989 debut, the Lexus LS has delivered more luxury at less cost than large sedans from Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Toyota created the Lexus brand as a bold upstart built on reliability, value, and customer service. Now an established nameplate and one of the best-selling luxury automakers in the country, Lexus wants to disrupt the big 4-door segment again with dramatic exterior styling and performance. The fifth-generation 2018 LS 500 promises a lot. After piling more than 800 miles on this 17-foot-long cruiser, we say it delivers.
