Ben Hardy the Lexus logo on the back bumper is the protection film so when you're putting stuff in the trunk you don't scratch up the top of your bumper.
I have been fortunate enough to own 2 Lexus sedans. I own 2 Lexus ES 350's, 2010 and 2017 year models. Both were purchased with low mileage and both have been more reliable than any Japanese or American brand than I have owned. Additionally, Lexus provides a level of customer service that you would expect from elite brands. I am highly impressed and obsessed with the Lexus brand. As long as I can afford to continue driving a Lexus I will do so!
Good for you my friend! Show them how reliable this brand is, by never having to visit the shop. These cars are built by supervised engineers, not by young kids that just graduated technical institute.
in germany nearly noone bought this car..... potential buyers went after a testdrive with a S-class or AUDI A8. i think the Hybrid version is to weak . They should better have improved the V8Hybrid with more E-power or PlugIN Version. But NO V8 at all in this Flagship is a failure. Next fail was their cancelling of the GS450Hybrid ! The ES Hybrid with its crying 4cyl. is´nt very attractive to drive on Autobahn.
Hands down! LEXUS is the best luxury brand. For so many reasons. Reliability, comfort, resale value, cost to own over time, doesn't depreciate as fast. You hardly visit the shop other than scheduled maintenance. That's that, there you have it. Make the most out of your hard earned money.
I drive a UX 200 which is an entry Lexus, I have a base model and it is amazing. This is my 6th or 7th Lexus and my impression of the brand gets better with each vehicle.
I was really impressed when I witnessed the Xr on the traffic cross for the first time. It’s like it looks like cars of E-class, but with the size and importance of an S-class car, that is quite something I must tell you. And it’s very rare which is cool too.
Reliability is better than mercedes, but right now mercedes have a more modern interior and way better infotainment system. Lexus need to regain the top again.
ed riv i agree about the infotainment, the Germans are ahead in that department, however, I use Apple CarPlay in my Lexus and it works like a charm. In regards to the interior, I always favor the Japanese as everything is laid perfectly and with Lexus, you get high quality materials and exceptional design and reliability. This LS interior is superb.
@@gabriela508 Which is the S-Class by a mile. Better ride and handling, more luxurious and feel more substantial on the road. The Lexus will be more reliable, well it should be. This generation LS is having more issues than the LS has ever had. Not sure why. The S-Class blows this car away in 9 out of 10 areas.
Test drove one this week, I thought that it would be vastly better than my current ride. It was not much different, the only benefit is the lane assist. Comfort is what I was looking forward the most and it's the same as my car, which is a Lexus GS300. My 16 year old Lexus rides as well and is as comfortable as the new 100K Lexus, there is something wrong with that picture. Decided to stick with my GS a bit longer. Might check out the BMW 7 or the Audi SQ8, but if the LS500 is what the others will be like, why bother dishing out $100K?
I plan on getting this car and I head some journalists say the ride isn't that good, is it true and while some said it is Lexus Magic carpet ride, I really like the design and interior more than the s class and i want to switch
IMO, a $92k car shouldn’t have blank buttons. Lexus needs to redesign their grill. Still super nice. I like that you got in the back to show leg room/features. Hope that will be part of all your reviews now. Good job.👍
Definitely! Totally different cars, the IS is a compact sports sedan with a short wheel base and the LS a limousine with air ride and acoustic glass and soo much more :).
Darth Sidius my pleasure mate. If you’re at all curios I’ve got a few comparison videos with the LS500 with the S Class and new 2020 BMW 7 series :). Feel free to check it out :)
why it's 324,289$ in vietnam? with my budget can only afford me a mercedes e-class in vietnam but in usa it can afford a maybach and this ? seriosuly??
The Cadillac CT6 Platinum with the 500hp V8 option and Super Cruise, or the CT6 V Series with 550hp and 640 torque are the best luxury cars for under 100k.
Yes and no... it drives better than the S Class but the S Class has better tech. I have a review comparing the both of them if you’re curious :) also on the brand new 2020 BMW 7 series too :)
Ok short STORY TIME: Just became an heiress from my great Aunt on my Fathers side & she left 4cars , when he said the price😅 oh my goodness. He just told me she has one of these….. my name is Lexus soooooooo U know where I’m going w/ this 😏😏😏😏 wish me luck 🍀 to pull this one home.
@@remonemeeks6935 A V8 has more natural and smoother acceleration, probably will last longer and the fuel economy difference is marginal The Genesis G90 offers a twin turbo as well that mirrors the Lexus performance if you must have one
You can not compare Korean cars to Japanese. Toyota has been building cars for over 80 years. They built the LFA, one of the best super cars ever created. In addition, when Lexus was launched in 1989 with the LS400, it shocked, amazed and changed the world of luxury cars with its technologies and quietness. Anyway, if you prefer the G90, lease it, if you wish to keep the car for many years, the LS is a better choice by far.
@@nicolasmikah4168 look , there use to be a time America cars were reliable then they cheaped out now as korean cars are advancing there will be a time that they will compete with japanese. Now you dont understand the fact that these luxury cars are not made for 10 years they are made for the present day and if you see lexus then you will find that they are behind when it comes to tech and features. Yes lfa or LCA may be good cars but they are now irrelevant , just look at that infotainment
Sam Khan I agree about Lexus infotainment, it needs an upgrade. However, I drive an LC500 and I don’t have any complaints, even with CarPlay, I rarely use the infotainment. The only downside to this gorgeous car is lack of massaging seats and a front camera. Some people prefer Mercedes over Lexus because of its badge and history, but again, Toyota has proved to the world they can build any type of car. I’m not saying the G90 is a bad car, not at all, at least Hyundai is competing with those big luxury sedans with their Genesis, and sadly Infiniti stopped making a flagship sedan and Acura never had one.
I drove my friend's LS 500. What a car!!!

I'm confused, I thought Lexus was Japan made?
Hpw you feeling about it now that Lexus discontinued the remote start, app functionality and media connections on your 2017 lexus, only 6 years later.
Love you bro for making this video I wanted to buy an Lexus LS 2020 model but everybody told me to buy s class now I will show them the power of LS
Good for you my friend! Show them how reliable this brand is, by never having to visit the shop. These cars are built by supervised engineers, not by young kids that just graduated technical institute.
Dude stop lying. Why can't people be proud that they drive a Honda or Toyota.
Great video from Salt Lake, UT. I have family there and I know this dealership very well.
T Jack thank you
92000 $ for a Luxury Sedan with over 400 HP is very cheap, in germany the base price is 115000 $.

I actually compared the new BMW 7 series to the LS500 if you’re curious Juan :)
On 4:40 looks like youre seatting in bunker how quiet is Lexus inside
New Lexus design is sleek, sharp, beautiful, elegant, sporty, agressive, timeless, and futuristic. Sign me up!
Yess!
Definitely my dream car😍
This is basically an entry level LS, a full option version will hit $120,000
True
Not really what your talking about is hybrid and all wheel drive that’s like 8000.00 of the 120000.
Work of Art inside and out. The most unique Flagship in the segment.
The reason you cant adjust the drivers seat from the rear is that you dont want to startle the driver and have a monumental accident
I think that's Trunk scratch protector but yea it got logo on it lol But I don't understand why Can't it close trunk by the Key.....-_-
What a car beautiful....
lexus es350 is pretty much same size with prob many siminlar bells whistles drives amazingly smooth and less then half the price

@1018miamidrive thanks for the reply mate
It's actually 3.4 liter V6, not 3.5.

rgrndu planning on it!👍🏻
Usually it’s because higher trims have features for those buttons, but if you get a lower trim base model you’ll be missing some features
Buy the $120k version of the LS and there will be buttons - there will also be a full recliner in the rear and TV's for the rear passengers.
O melhor vídeo sobre lexus que eu já assistir (pelo menos as imagens) pena que não falo inglês.

I wish nes LX's interior will be similar
Nice nice nice nice nice 👍🏻
Did you see what Genesis came out with at a fraction of the cost ? He’ll mo
Does it have soft close doors?
Yes, it does!
So is this car Bigger than ES350 or it's same size?
ES350 is a midsize like the Camry. LS500 is a full size vehicle.
It's larger and twice the price.
Con: no touchscreen
Pro: last a lot longer than its competitors and great resale.
Short shifting at 3500 rpm isn't really getting into it sir
Really sucks how there’s no v8, killed my vibe with this
the twin turbo v6 ls is stratagy on saving gas on small engine and still go faster !
why it's 324,289$ in vietnam? with my budget can only afford me a mercedes e-class in vietnam but in usa it can afford a maybach and this ? seriosuly??

416 Horsepower doesn't sound like a lot??? How much should it be,500?
More than enough, I have driven this amazing car and it feels awesome.
Does the LS 500 come with spare tire?
No, run flats only.
No. The tires are indestructible
All that electricity in it. Damn imagine how much it will cost to fix the electric accessories on it once the warranty goes out🤦🏽♂️
Don't ever buy the warranty
Tesla mobile service coming to your driveway makes Tesla the luxury choice
