I respect that Lexus prioritizes research, development and engineering over gimmicky tech features that only impress non car enthusiasts.
What gimmicky tech features do you mean? What research and development are you talking of? Last time I checked Lexus interior is outdated, track pad sucks.
@@sra8485 The 20 people who agreed with me know what I mean. I'm not here to help you understand so since you don't then you shouldn't reply.
@@sra8485 the LS has a touchscreen
I chose the LS500 over the S560 due to reliability and the value it will hold. I plan on keeping it long term. I’ve had a few Mercedes in the past, great cars but just unreliable and very expensive to repair. Lexus IS a smarter but hands down.
The LS 500 AIN'T CHEAP TO REPAIR EITHER
I agree but they don’t break as often as the Germans do,trust me I’ve had both.
I own a LS460 and it’s the best car ever. Super luxurious and still enough Hp for me. My car is allergic to mechanic shops 😂💯 trust me they hardly ever have issues. Bedside from brakes and oil change, I’ve done nothing to it in the last 4 years 😌
I can’t lie, I kind of miss my Ls460. Lol
I can’t lie, I kind of miss my Ls460. Lol
The thing I love about this car is it has better proportions than the S-Class, 7 Series, and A8. And costs much less.
88K!! Lord have mercy! But, this ride appears to be worth it. And I like the fact that Lexus still has a CD player in most of its cars and SUV's. Good review!
They were the last to remove the cassette tape from their cars years ago.
Oooh cd player. I like that
Awesome review Ben
I like that they brought the infotainment screen more forward and made it touchscreen.
The best of both world!! 💯 LEXUS all the way!!!
Not really the infotainment is meahh
I’d fall asleep in this car post pandemic days in 5pm traffic on the 405s in SOCAL. What a beauty! Goals for when I get old old old. My midlife crisis RCF is still working for me. Not quite ready for a LS, but one day. Gorgeous car though.
we are aligned, my midlife crisis 2020 GS F will work for me for now... when I hit that late 60's mark then I will look at this
@@leonard984 Exaaaactly. 60s def be appropriate for an LS model. Can’t wait to see what Lexus does 10-15yrs from now. But yeah later later an LS model with the massage chairs ha.
Congrats on the 2020 GSF. Def a beast. Gorgeous cabin too. The RCF just made more sense for me in my life. But no doubt I went 0-60 at every light with the GSF test drive haha. The GSF is something you don’t see daily and to be respected. You’ve got class 👍🏼
Haha all my friends fall asleep in the back of my 02 Ls430 😂 I envy who’s riding passenger in my car haha
@@amishparadise1924 you probably don’t even have a car
I'm in Love with this Car !!! Spaceship Cruising !
You hit it on the head
Gonna be a great buy in 4-5 years 😉
Bingo!!!!
Lexus don’t depreciate as much as you think. 🥲
You can find 101k versions for 65k already after 2 to 3 years. Give a few more years to grab them for 40kish
@@lolzsridz yeah, and with only sub 15,000 miles. 😂 Dealerships have a hard time selling them at that price. It will be a win win for us when we can snatch a practically brand new Ls500 for the same price as a specced out Camry XLE v6
@@TheNuclearBolton yup just waiting to get rid of my 05 UL for one of these executive package ones. Ride so much smoother and quieter.
Do the mini stocks light up at night or just paint? One thing I dontt like about my 2020 Toyota is the stocks aren’t lit at night so you kind of spin to win lol
For $88K I expected a bit more power and/or tech. But reliability is something.
Yes agreed with the liability but 416 hp twin turbo v6 aint that bad either
@@zifarrvsndnkrs51 his said reliability LMAO!!! NOT LIABILITY
Tech for what… what more tech could u possibly need to drive to work and fucking Walmart lol.
@@xavierwashington877 LOL.
Cute that you think we all live in the burbs and go to Walmart. ..
@@69putanabut what tech does Lexus not have it has all the important tech like self parking and all the camera stuff you really don’t need anymore
New Sub great work love the review
Now this is a Luxury Sedan 🚘 to ride around town.
Simply Beautifull. And different ❤️❤️
Perfect review.
Oh yes the car I want but will never have. Car is so nice. Thanks Ben for the review
Don’t think like that. You can get this car if you want it bad enough.
Ahhh don’t say that trev. Just wait 3-4yrs. You’ll see the price drop. Maybe consider a 2018 model too. They’re already in the $60k range before taxes of course lol
Pretty decent improvement compared to the pre refresh
When going on the test drive and you were discussing the noise for the exhaust in sport mode when you said piped vs "real", by "real" did you mean original?
Good review but you may be the only review who has said they like the Lexus track pad.
Lexus forced him to do so rofl
Lexus sheep
@@amishparadise1924 what you need is a Rolls Royce Phantom
Just hearing the engine I want one beautiful
I can’t wait to get mine 😍
On the Ram website, there is a 2021 Ram Longhorn Limited & just a Limited. Can you make a video about it? Differences and why the price gap. Thanks! Happy New Years!
I’ve reviewed both for the 1500 series
Why the hell didn't they put that Twin Turbo V6 in the 2021 Lexus IS350 F Sport
Does it have automatic self parking?
Love the ls500
Yes, I'd say so. Great review. This and the IS-F, decisions, decisions....
Have anyone ever use the headlight washer other than showing off?
I like the way you do your car reviews, unlike most car youtubers who try to copy saabkyle04, but nice videos as always, keep up the good work!
Now that’s a sweet ride! It’s got me thinkin about trading in the RAM......Nawwwww just kiddin...
@Burger King ❤️
@Burger King BURGER KING!! LMAO I need to make a Long John Silvers YT account!
Beautiful car 😍😍
Nice 2022 Tundra engine!
Cool car and very fast car very nice car I love this car awesome
Loved the review keep it up
If they had ambient lighting like the s-class, a more powerful sporty engine, then a lot of people would consider this car.
The ambient lighting means pussy
@@alinluca3436 I ain't for that player life man, be loyal to your girlfriend or wife. I hate men who act like players.
How about you install some yourself what a stupid thing for a manufacturer to be expected to put in a car.
@@toomuch10601 There is a huge difference. And if Mercedes-Benz doing it, people would choose that lol. Even Acura is starting to do it.
Ambient lightning... Lol Metrosexuals features.
Can someone explain to me, why does a test drive feel like you're driving on a gravel road, when you are actually on a smooth asphalt road??? I test drove it.
I thought the title said IS 500. I never clicked a video so fast in my life lol
Would be epic
Looks nice
That is a nice lexus
They should make a LS500 F with a V8.
They do!
horsesandjesus no they don’t
When I'm in my retired years I could see myself owning one of these. 😍❤
This spec is perfect
Speaking of peasant! That is the peasant equipped trim level.
Not sure why everyone likes hodgepodge of materials for the doors/seats. Seems like a cost cutting measure to me.
interior: Art work
About time they put the auto trunk open n release
This should of been what the Interior of the lx should of been
Did you go off roading with it😂😂
ABSOLUTELY
Beautiful car
This car is a beauty...
5:06 channeling Doug Demuro front seat plebeians
6:01 blank switches
Lol
Awesome car
Omg I want this car but the RX seems like a smarter buy
Much better interior for ' only'40000ish more tho
@@wagrj5738 nope. Not even close. The Lexus LS is on a new ball game with the brown interior or the red interior with Kriko glass and the executive package
@@workoutguru3211 that option is over 120000 for the car
@@wagrj5738 okay fine but even without it, it is still miles ahead of the rx in terms of build quality
beautiful
Lexus has some a long way, but no one shopping for a top of the line S class is going to seriously consider this. Its a different type of customer it appeals too
want one like this
Wow nice car
I like that car
Lexus IS the Best Car ever made !!!
The LS430 ultra packaged is the best, the 05,06 models. I had one and I'm not gonna lie i missed that car ,but I'm going to get one soon, its smother than the LS460L that I currently have. I really don't like these 500 .I don't think I'll ever get one unless they make them in 500L.
no the best lexus ever made is the LFA
Beautiful CAR
I would take it
I'm trading in my old Camry for one of these next week.
Show us later
Ya bro im trading in my old yaris.
What the. Lol. I’m going to read you a lil bit. Is this “old” Camry paid off? And you’re trading in a Camry for a LS500? I just find it hard to buy you go from an old Camry to a new LS500. LOL. Now if you went to a Avalon, or a Lexus ES, GS or older LS okay I can buy that.
But girrrrrl don’t be lying, liars aren’t cute these days.
@Jamal Lane you never know they might be honest man. For $120k US dollars though, maybe 20 years of biweekly payments will do the trick lol
If you own a Camry you could never afford a S class. Sorry bud.
Don’t think it’s S class killer but nice Lexus
I laugh at the S Class killer.
Why the hell didn't they put in the 2021 Lexus IS350
Waiting for the V8
The LS500 2021 luxury model is where it's truly at. I heard that it gets a bigger digital dash display as well as some nice interior colors that the f sport doesn't get. However, that floating touchscreen is just gross ngl
Is there a RWD option?
yeah mines rwd
That’s insulting to the S class. The styling, interior, sound, engine power and interior finish and quality of this Lexus could never compete with Mercedes S class.
Lexus IS so boring. Has nothing on a Benz. Sometimes a Benz can b boring but it’s so elegantly done. Idk
@@marvinsepulveda7041 I agree it’s like getting inside a regular Toyota.
It is a Toyota and that 10speed transmission are we driving a semi lol
BRAVO SIR BRAVO! This reviewer needs a nap and a juice box!
@@marvinsepulveda7041 Fair!
No rear heated seats ?!
it’s an option, this car is pretty much a base model with a sport appearance package
My 2 cents to the Japaneses in Lexus wood grain steering wheel mandatory
If you don't care about depreciation & upkeep, get the S-Class 100%. If you want to be lowkey, have great residual value and low upkeep, get the LS500. Honestly, both are phenomenal, but I prefer the LS500 based off value and it doesn't grab the attention of a Mercedes.
LS needs to upgrade clock to Grand Seiko
No S Class Killer...✋
13:00 hold on... I know I’m not the only one that noticed that Nissan just disappear??????
What’s up with the downgraded look of the navigation screen compared to last year? Looks cheap!
You are correct! They are trying to catch up technology wise and are still a generation behind
Never be an S Class.. Kind of an insult really
@Tré theyre also faster and much nicer. German brands like Audi Mercedes and bmw expect people to lease their cars and their cars are built for like 3 years of reliability
Facts lol they just said a Luxury Toyota is better than a s class ? Sheesh
@@alexanderpatterson2179 for what's worth even Samsung or Apple could make a better car than an S class. Any damn company in the world as long as that's their aim. Toyota is no different.
There is a reason why the Lexus LS has a renowned reputation for reliability, build quality, finesse, etc...
S class has also a good reputation, but questionable reliability and not great value.
@@alexanderpatterson2179 if you want to say it like that, fine. But Lexus LS overall has been the better car since it rolled on the scene in 1989, than all cars in its class. That's a fact.
No critical comments in this review, which makes me cautious about its independence. No 360 camera? No wireless charger?
I miss the smooth old v8
You are correct. Lexus claim to fame was the V8
Shoulda had the new is rear end
I'm still not a fan of the grill...but I could live with it, IF it had configurable ambient lighting!!!!!
You are correct the grill looks like a storm trooper got ran over while protecting the Death Star.
@@iowanforjustice5656 no ambient lighting anyway...Lexus needs to step it up.
I prefer the old one.which one do yall prefer.
I have a 2014 lexus LS460L and love it. Might trade next year for an RX 350.
@@gkvogt hows the v8
@@Shakenunez great. Easy cruising, but when you put your foot to the floor those 386 horses kick in you can really feel it. Only about 16 mpg in town. I haven't had it on any long trips so I can say what the mpg is on the highway, but I didn't buy it for fuel economy.
@@gkvogt my
Dad has a tundra and he keeps getting the worse mpg
I have an Ls400 with 299000 miles and I’m keeping it until it doesn’t turn on
Looks like a hrs Camry from behind
Lexus LS and Mercedes S class : 2 different leagues. Let's not even start this.
You're right. The overpriced Mercedes is a league below this.
This and the g90 need to go head to head.
3:54 anxiety 101
Trypophobia
Lexus just won’t give up the CD player, maybe 2030? 😀
I would choose this over German full-size luxury sedans. It's not only because of great reliability, but also there are some features that are unnecessary to me.
That's a shitty backup camera, i hoped for a 360
That BUC is so terrible that the after market cameras look better.
You should not review this as it is Camry while you go through the back seat as it is ok and good head room. This is a luxury car but you did not show us where the money is. You need to compare the luxuary that the backseat provide to S class. Does it have message in the back seat, does it have entertainment system control. Things of this nature.
Lexus made a huge mistake by making the ES looking exactly like the LS. You can’t tell them apart.
$88k & no massaging seats?! 😲
I think the full option costing over 110k $ gets everything you could possibly want in a car.
it’s the F-Sport so it’s pretty stripped down but they are an option.
In order for it to kill the S class, it would have to sell in the same numbers or take business from MB. It does neither!
It never will either. Even though I love this car. Society at large doesn’t respect Lexus the same way the do Benz
@@MrMan-fx3ow with the Benz, you're paying to be on the cutting edge. The Lex is always playing catch up. Adding tech when it's become cheaper which enables them to keep the price lower. Personally, the G90 is more of competitor on the tech side than the Lex.
"Kill" could refer to many other things besides sales number. Benz is definitely nice, but it sure lacks Lexus' reputation for overall build quality, reliability, value, etc...
@@kb8866 Problem is folks who can afford these vehicles don't have reliability in their top 3 things they seek. If that were true Land Rover would be out of business. The LS is stunning, but it's one generation behind in tech. It doesn't ride better, accelerate better or handle better to be honest. There is no substitute for the S class.
@@kclark8080 it's good competetion and customers win. Like you pointed out, there are areas the S class out shines the LS. Though I believe the TTV6 accelarates on par with the Benz V8. It's awesome Benz gives many variations from v6, hybrid, all the way to the Maybach v12.
At the same time, I doubt Lexus lacks in tech department as they led the industry in terms of hybrid power, transmission tech, etc... At the end of the day, it's a very good thing both cars do exist.
88k I can buy 2 Camrys fully loaded under that price 🤣
Perhaps scale back on "absolutely". Good review otherwise.
They call it black chrome
My dad owns 2005 ls430 and this model with 3.5L is just not what you would expect from LS class, disappointing especially when they call it LS 500. I would rather get Ram TRX at same price with 702 hp
I’m also upset this car doesn’t have a v8
Is it reliable?
It's a Toyota...enough said😏

Whatever you do, make sure your girlfriend doesnt watch this video she might get jealous about how much you LOVE this vehicle.
Nah, she gonna be jealous from the attention you're gonna get
This has got to be one of the best sedan in its class.....this beats the two other German twins in reliability. PERIOD....
