The Lexus LS had always been known for its smooth engine starting from even the first generation LS back in the 90s. When I drove the 3rd generation LS, I thought that there was nothing that could ever beat its smoothness, until of course, you guessed it, the 4th generation LS.
The 4th generation Lexus LS comes in standard and long wheelbase. During its launch, it had an understated which although looked great back in 2007, may be a little bit too dated for today's standards. To remedy this aging look, in 2013, Lexus facelifted the Lexus LS in the now famous (or infamous for some people) corporate spindle grille. Engine options include a 4.6L V8 in the LS460, and a 5.0L V8 mated to a hybrid motor in the LS600hL. While the LS600hL seems like the no-brainer option to get, it is plagued by three letters that just make the LS460 the right choice to get: C-V-T.
Featuring the naturally aspirated melted butter-like 4.6L 1UR-FSE V8 engine, a proper and world's first 8 speed automatic transmission, sporty looks all around the exterior and interior, an intake sound generator, bigger rims as standard, 1 inch lower ride height, short wheelbase, a 0-100 time of only 5.7 seconds, and most importantly RELIABILITY, the 4th generation facelifted Lexus LS 460 F Sport definitely gives even the likes of the Mercedes Benz S63 AMG, and the BMW M760Li a run for their money for a fraction of the cost, and a fraction of the headaches.

I love the look of the 07-12, so classy and timeless like the 430
:)
An ES is never going to be enough. An LS will always be much more satisfying. A GS may perhaps do the job, too, if you had it over there.
We used to sell the GS here too but it didn’t do well.
@@KyleLiongCars kinda a snug car the GS ,and it stayed the same soo long ..main thing you either have a ES OR LS ..the GS never competed in the sports sedan
Still a pretty fun car though, the GS. Basically a Toyota Crown
@@KyleLiongCars Too expensive for your market?
Yeah and too “little prestige” for buyers. They would rather buy an E Class or 5 Series
This is also my favorite year of the LS! Looks timeless. And it’s also a shame that the GS didn’t sell well here unlike probably in 🇺🇸. If only Toyota sold the Crown Athlete and Crown Majesta here, it would’ve been so epic…
Yessir been waiting for more Lexus content
Yehey
I'm digging the skyscrapers in the background of the rooftop shots. Nicely done man! It's funny how you mentioned the prestige of owning a Mercedes or other European luxury vs owning a Lexus. The way I see it is that owning a Mercedes is like a boastful flex, but owning a Lexus is like a more humble flex. Owning a Lexus is like a successful person who's respected by many and doesn't like talking about their wealth or materialistic status symbols.
To be quite frank I didn't really like Lexus, well at least the one we had growing up. Growing up we had an 01 IS300, by the time I was a teenager, I did not like being in the back seat since it was very cramped; that's saying something because I'm 5'4" and it was not comfortable for me since you can feel everything on the road and was more or so tuned for sport. I'm sure if I actually had the chance to drive it, I would have fun with it. Based on that experience, I didn't really like Lexus and thought I would rather prefer Mercedes or BMW.
Fast forward to today, and my perception of Lexus is much more positive. I had an aunt who didn't need her 07 ES350, since she got herself a different car and let me have it as an upgrade from my 02 Civic 5 speed (Best first car). After owning a Lexus for 10 months now, I am loving it and changed my perspective on Lexus. I know that they're Toyota and will always be reliable, and it's a very nice car. It is luxurious, but doesn't scream "look at my status" like a Mercedes. Don't get me wrong I like Mercedes, but I think I may prefer Lexus over Mercedes. If I ever part ways from my ES, I think would go for the last gen GS over a C class.
Exactly. That’s precisely the types of people who buy Lexus cars :) Thanks btw, we really came to this place for the shoot as it fits the car really well
It's June 2023 and I just came across this review. Coincidentally, I have been researching this model (and the succeeding ones before the remodel) for quite sometime now. I wish I saw this review and would have been able to make an offer on this particular car. We had an '08 RX350 (again, before the remodel) and really enjoyed how it drove, handled, and the features it offered at the time. Even for a used vehicle it was a great car to have. I like how this is designed, especially the F-Sport version, and just feel it is aligned with the BMW 7 Series, Audi 7 series and even the MB S Class at the time. I've moved on to a German brand since then but really want to get one of these to have and redo to make it my daily driver. I know you can drive one of these till the wheels fall off (literally). However, with the current auto market (and housing, and supply, etc.), they really are asking for a bit much for these even with a load of miles in them.
As old as this model is, it has a few features most cars don't even offer as standard these days (e.g., heated and cooled seats, sun shades, automatic trunk, premium audio, leather bucket seats, multiple driving modes, etc.).
Wait, this is in Manila?!?! Good job Kabayan!
It really is good.... even for today really.
Yes, Manila. Thank you
Big like for such great video 👍🏻
Thanks
Exiting review, roll viewers in your review this beast
Nani?
awesome review of the lexus that is one nice looking ls460
I love the F Sport look. Thanks
@@KyleLiongCars no problem
Best daily driver, I’ve got the same spec! Great video!
Thanks! Yes, I love it too
Same here and love it.
Nice introduction, nice car!
Thanks
It DOES have buttons in the rear arm rest. They are hidden under the top cover. You slide it back. Because the rear seats are heated. And the rear shade control is there also. I have the 2012 sport edition, before they called it Fsport in 2013.
Would love to see you review the Rx350 next :)
In the process of looking for one hehe! I’m also very interested in that
10:29 i love that angle of the car
A bit of risk taking was needed to get that shot hahaha
good video Lexus over all German cars.
Thanks! Yeah I agree to a big extent despite being a Euro fan haha
Would be great to see you do the 4th gen GS. Very much a baby LS.
Looking for a GS for review :)
@@KyleLiongCars 😎
You could review my GS300h but I'm in the UK unfortunately.
I’m in the Philippines :(
Nice review. Whats your comment with the LS460 compared with the LS430?
I prefer the LS430 overall as it was amazing during its time, and still is amazing for today’s standards. The LS460 although more refined than that, lacks enough difference to justify the price difference
Yeah, I thought so, I agree with you on the LS430!! 👍👍
:)
would you prefer the 2007-12 or 2013-17 version of the LS model overall speaking?
The 13-17 for sure haha
@Shawn Don003 Thanks man! Yes, I try to shake things up a bit once in a while. Been doing mostly just new cars lately, but will definitely put in the time to review older and more interesting cars as well
386 horsepower is beast
Not bad but could be better for a large sedan
what city are you in? the background is immaculate
Pasig City
Another great review, still prefer a 7 series or A8 over this despite the better reliability of the Lexus. Metrocars have some Audis and Bmws in their inventory. Haven't seen an audi review in your channel yet.
Thanks sir. Audis aren’t exactly at the top of my list haha but I’ll get to them at some point. :)
I actually like Audis haha!
Ok maybe hahaha!
@@KyleLiongCars Please review 2021 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Mitsubishi Strada, 2021 Mitsubishi Xpander Cross, Mitsubishi Xpander GLS, Mitsubishi L300 FB Euro 4, and Mitsubishi Strada Athlete. Thanx.
I love this car, I was going to get one, used of course, but I've heard some really harsh reviews about this model. It's said that it has some really expensive suspension problems. The air suspension on this car "allegedly" goes bad and is very expensive to have fixed. Like around a $5,000 fix, and that's just one thing. The breaks, the navigation system are also common troubles that I have heard about that goes wrong with this car. It crushed me and made me afraid to purchase one; very very disappointing. I might just settle for a Camry or a Suburban. I don't what to pay for a car, and turn around and start making expensive repairs. I learned through research not to even touch a BMW and an Audi. I'm a poor man, If I could get this car brand spankin new I would, but used and around 150k, I'm afraid. One guy has one of these on a Tic Tok short that's white and sitting on air and just riding his little but off. It is crazy sharp; I hate him, lol rather I'm hating on him lol, I WANT ONE OF THESE CARS DANGIT!
No matter the make or model, air suspension is always problematic and expensive. I've tried cars with and without it, and honestly, I don't think the difference is worth the hassle and expense.... But that's just me with a tiny budget haha
@@KyleLiongCars What about a 2012 Ls 460 with about 156k mi for about 12 to 13k, would you trust it if the test drive goes well or would you pass because of that year and model . I hear that some things had to be improved. I think that the 2014 and up received the improvements, but from 2013 and down, it's best not to touch them.
Not too sure about prices and how beat up cars are at specific mileages given road conditions there haha
I changed my air suspension to BC Coil, the dealer quoted me 15000 for 4 shocks not including labour, the 8 control arms are another 8k from Japan
10:12 - the motorcycle dude planned to overtake. Ooops - bye.
He failed miserably 😂😂
This a real sleeper
Yep
I am honestly surprised that the center armrest at the back does not have any controls for AC, seats or Audio. Even a 2007 Camry have them.
This is a US spec car that seems to be imported here and not a local unit. Over there, unless you get options, or the long wheelbase, a lot of luxury sedans have no controls for the back. Even some S Classes from the US, Canada, Europe have no controls at the back. Speaking of 2007 Camry, our 2007 Camry Hybrid which was imported here and costed more than the 3.5L V6 Q model locally sold didn’t have rear controls as well. I think this is mainly because these cars are aimed at customers who will drive them, vs here in the PH where they’re aimed at customers who will mostly sit at the back and be chauffeured around in.
@@KyleLiongCars Oh ok. I understand now.
:)
@@KyleLiongCars great review! I have the LS460 2013 black F sport NZ new and it has the heated seat controls and the back sun blind control in the back arm rest. A added extra I believe, with the concierge controls, auto high beam control and active cruise control. Its a beautiful car to drive and as you say when stopped you can't hear it running.
Thanks! Yes it is very smooth indeed. Beautiful engine
May I ask you this. When you hold on brakes while you shifting up down you see your RPM meter needle does moving up down too? I inquired 1 LS today but I tested and saw this problem I don't know it's normal or what.....thanks
What I’m confused
Was looking for a bmw F01 7 series or F10 5 series in the used car market, and as soon as I came across the 2013 lexus ls 460 with a v8 engine that produces 386 hp, I just don't want a 7 series anymore
Yes! Get the LS!
@@KyleLiongCars ikrrr, visually it's better looking than the f01 7 series, and the interior just feels so much nicer. The v8 engine is just glorious and this car can last till 300k! The only downside is that the f sport ones is quite hard to find.
@@stevenshi980 Where are you from that she F Sport is hard to find?
@@KyleLiongCars i'm from nz. i found 4 on the used car market and 2 of them are ridiculously expensive and one has relatively high mileage. There is one that is selling privately at a reasonable price, but I don't know if it will still be there as I'm planning on getting a car next year january
Ah I see. How about non-F Sport models? Maybe you could get those instead?
Videographer has guts of steel being too close while you zoom by.
Actually, I’m the videographer for that HAHAHA!
@@KyleLiongCars lakas! Keep it up! More of those moving shots.
Thanks
LS is awesome who would drive an ES? If you can get this.
Price doe
Rc350 naman soon hehe
Yes maybe hehe
I just bought a 2013 Lexus LS 460
Congrats
@@KyleLiongCars thanks
How is your car so far?
Which one is better this or the LS430?
I prefer the LS430
@@KyleLiongCars I sold my Ls430 today! 🥹🥹🥹
Cant wait to review a Mitsubishi Adventure Glx, GLS Sport. Or Xpander
In the future
My man you gotta do the Audi R8! O>O
Hopefully
It's a shame that Lexus Manila still does not bring in the F-Sport variant of the LS locally
I knoooow! I wish they will in the future
Why would you compare the LS two and yes they’re not even the same category. Other than being a sedan. Totally different layouts compared too IS or even RC would be better one
What prestige! You need your car to start every time, and to take you to your destination. The German luxury cars will take you where you do not want to go-to the mechanic that is.
They sometimes sure do 😂😂 That’s why we have Lexus to help solve that problem 😅
@@KyleLiongCars Indeed yes, Kyle.
It has less NVH than an S class though
Hmmm not quite
Even an 8 year old Lexus still costs 2.5m pesos.
They do hold their value really well
1st
Noice
Low spec ls460
Yeah ish
Glorified toyota? Most parts arent even in toyota cars
Exactly
hmmm...glorified Toyota that shares almost no parts with a Toyota. Probably should edit that comment out.
Being a glorified Toyota is a complement.
How many times have you seen either broke down on the side of the road.
That’s true
What idiot would say an es is as good as an Ls ?
