This car looks incredible...especially the interior. Japanese perfection..
Bobby Ang your channel is amazing and I'm so grateful to have found it!
What an honest, unbiased review of the incredible LS500! One of the best reviews of the LS I've seen! Love how you highlight its long list of unique design features & elements even the smallest details. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! Hope you can look into my video description, subscribe and follow us, my entire team reviews in this manner, and all of them have their own channels and their own take. Thank you for the encouraging words!
I’m still a S class fan but the materials in this car and the design is so beautiful 😍
Edit: that engine tune, sounds like it’s got an intake. Wow
You should always drive this way Bobby! This is what makes your videos the best
Sweet...finally is here...saw this in one of the Hong Kong car review video...naisss one bobby
Aiseh! Got voiceovers d. Love the videos! Keep up the good work, man. Cheers!
bro. i am impressed. so far the best car review. you are not judging the price but the car itself. great bro. keep it up....
Bobby, wonderful review, makes me want to look at previous version of the Ls460 that is priced so low in the used market now.
I can tell you're an amazing car reviewer because you're one of the only ones I've ever seen to talk about how good Lexus is with trunk materials and finishes on certain models like the GS and LS! You know your stuff! Subscribed! Not enough car reviewers notice these types of things. Even an S-Class Mercedes doesn't have the same trunk finishes that Lexus does. No one does attention to detail like Lexus!
thanks, i just wish the japanese car makers can catch up in terms of software UI design compared to the Germans. The part where I mentioned that the Lexus LS had different font sizes and kernings in the rear seat control panel UI is disappointing. But I also understand it's because the Japanese people don't complain enough, they always blame themselves first, thus facing with a bad UI design, they will go "it's my fault that i haven't learn this User Interface good enough to master in it, I shall give myself another week and if i can't do it with ease, I shall commit harakiri ...." whereas the german customers would just go "hey designer, you designed the User Interface? It sucks, let me tell you why..... "
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Yes I loved that part as well. That was another very excellent detail you mentioned. I used to do a lot of graphic design work so appreciated but was also shocked to hear you mentioning font sizes and kerning. One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Thank you for putting this level of attention to detail in your reviews!
this guy really makes detailed, genuine reviews,,deserve more likes, keep up.
Thank you sir!
Combine hand made craftsmanship and automobile, Lexus is stepping up the game! Let's hope these car maker can mass produce so that the price will go down
20:37 , Bobby : apologizes and continues to hit the wrong button.
Also Bobby : ignores all warnings and continues to rev it up!
damn right bro...that engine rumble is awesome ... keep the vids coming !
Malaysians' reaction towards Lexus cars prove that we are still judging cars purely based on their badges 🤦♀️ c'mon.....
Samuel Tan exactly. 3 years ago i was contemplating on whether to get the German trio of Japanese. At last i go for left field Q50. Nvr look back since then.
@@jackalshine660 Nice! Badges' reputations are usually dictated by marketing imo
To the typical Malaysian - perodua, toyota, honda, merc and bmw is king. only 5 of this
@@zenyu94 Don't forget Honda lol
Yea they think european car r top notch while asian car maker (in this case lexus) r meh and the price r not suitable
They also think that this car should be have same price like honda and toyota
The LS500 is truly an exquisite Flagship luxury sedan inside & out.
Makes me thankful in the US the full spec’d version costs just shy of $110k if you have all options and accessories.
Lexus LS500 is popular in United States
My dream is to drive that amazing car! And I miss Genting
Lexus better make the wheels out of gold and the door panel as well. You go bankrupt you can sell the gold.
Unfortunately they're not. And if you think about it, the Doors and the Wheels costs a Lexus ES! LOL~~
More ulu yam driving please hahaha..love that vid
If not mistaken i read from an American car review that the LS500 only come with one variant wheelbase for this model. Lexus has discontinued the long or short wheelbase.
Nice watch and the way your explanation is so nice love it love life buddy
And how much does the cup holder cost you ?
A masterpiece.
Thank you, terbaik review!
I wonder if it has a different ENGINE than the North American version?
You cornered so well that the camera turned in and then turned back!
Sad even they not bring the F Sport variant.
Wah they brought in a maroon coloured version of this ls....lovely
The road noise in this video is horrible. Cannot hear Bobby properly. Is this model the LS500 Ultra Luxury?
I wish you had tried Sport S+ mode during your sporty driving instead of the normal Sport S mode! Sport S+ firms up the steering and suspension even further!
Yeah i tried that too.... yes it's really nice as well thanks! And thanks again if you've subscribed!
This new LS available only as one standard wheelbase, there is no long wheelbase for this generation.
If Lexus can change the UI completely and fix the rear camera, this car should be perfection! I'm assuming it was either their budget or how they wanted to price the car, that challenged them to cut corner somewhere
Why did you not go into sports plus mode?
What is the price?
This is an art
Whatabout the massage function, the high road tax ? Unfortunately it only has 4 seats instead of 5.
Muhammad Aidid its more like 4+1 seats... the middle one doesn’t seems that comfortable...
No sedans are true 5 seaters to be honest.
Thanks if you've subscribed!, regards
Bobby
I don't understand why this red interior is not available to the US.? I plan on upgrading my 2018 Genesis G80 Sport to the LS500 and I would've loved to option it with this interior.
I thought you guys in US would've been able to spec anything you wish for buying a Lexus for the sheer volume there. Lexus sells about 800 cars in Malaysia EACH year. Which is what they do in 3 days in US i supposed. :)
Thanks if you've subscribed, regards!
Bobby
@@BobbyAngmalaysia to get the Kirko Glass interior upgrade you can only spec it in black in the US. Actually from what I've seen cars outside of the US tend get better options than the US market. We don't get the LX570 Signature model neither.
It really depends to be honest. In US, car makers are prohibited from selling cars directly to consumers. This is because of the strong lobbying by dealership groups in the name of 'protecting consumer interests'. But in actual fact, for dealership groups like Penske for example, all they care are profits and profits and profits. The brand building journey are non of their concerns. Thus for a car like the Lexus LS, which is somewhat a $75-$90k luxury car, it's a big item 'stockpile' that they have to spec the standard 'Black, white, silver' colour option, and for interior, the most 'movable' ones as well. As for Malaysia, Lexus is fighting an uphill battle against the number 1,2,3 luxury brand namely Mercedes, BMW and Volvo. Thus they need to sell these 'halo' cars that wont make them money, but makes a brand statement and shows commitment to customers. Malaysians are one of the few countries in the world that are willing to spend a huge percentage of our monthly incomes on cars. Even if our cars are expensive. Whenever we get tax breaks, we go mad buying up cars. Take for instance PHEVs, which gets a tax break if they're below 2.0 litres and locally assembled. We bought up so many X5 xDrive40es that Malaysia ranks just behind United States, and we bought so many XC90 T8s that Malaysia was the first country out of Sweden to assemble PHEVs for Volvo. Since late 2014.
Tbh some of Malaysian spec cars are significantly specced higher than Murica’s spec.. im amazed.
Please review the 2019 KIA Optima GT bossku. Considering to buy it but still no one reviewing it yet
Have they updated the Kia Optima GT? Cos i was the first to review it. You can find it in my channel.
Bobby Ang they have a FL version, adding in extra stuff, changing the interior and exterior.
AZIZAN AMJAH you can search for 2018 optima GT reviewed by bobby last year. Pre FL version but engine wise it’s all the same only different in design
Why is the price dropping so drastically?
One rim 30k ah???
About the back camera u should ask Cardock how does he manage to change the view
Not just the view. Its a very low quality camera. Same like what you get in a 2012 bmw or current mazdas. Unacceptable.
I guess those UI and software uts nit their strong piint
Color super 😀👍
Would you take this over the current S class if price wasn't a consideration?
Let's break it down.
Audi A8 - Can't find anything wrong with it but the interior and exterior design is dull.
BMW 7 - Beautifully built interior, drives very well, comfortable, and the new facelift is imposing as fuck.
Lexus LS - Handsome, best interior build, lousy infotainment, cramped interior, doesn't ride as good as the Germans.
S-Class - Rides beautifully, designed beautifully in and out, handles well, materials are a mixed bag of high quality and low quality.
If it's my right brain, it will be the LS, if it's my left brain, it will be the 7 and the S.
Hey Bobby, would be interesting to see you do a night review of the car just to see the lighting technology.
Front lighting or interior? This car's interior at night is just pitche dark. In terms of front lighting, i dont see it doing any sort of crazy stuffs like my XC90
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Any crazy exterior light animations like the new Audis, interior ambient lights, etc. As far as I know, the Lexus LS has designed the interior door panel lighting to give the door handles a "floating" effect. Would be interesting to see how lighting technology progress throughout the years.
Nah the ambient lights of this car is really subtle ... unlike Mercedes and Audis
literally no ambient lighting...? Thats disappointing...
If compared this to 7 series and s class , which is the most comfortable
S-Class and 7-Series both are more comfortable for the rear passengers. But I felt I'm more comfy in the driver seat in this LS. Maybe it's the plush materials ... :)
S class. No horse run.
I like Lexus for their interior colour combination, u can have dual colours in the ES like brown and Tan or red and white , impossible for the e class n 5 series. Anything else is overrated, ES noise insulation is gd though.
Yes only in Malaysia and Singapore this car priced at 1.8 mil. In other countries its RM400,000K - 500,000K ffs.
Pretty sad being a car enthusiasts in Malaysia or Singapore
Exactly. Car pricing needs to looked at. It is really stupid.
@@jag4004 In Malaysia they charge so high tax on these imported cars just so people would buy Proton or any other national cars. If you build your car brand around this principle its no wonder the brand would produce underwhelming cars and it did, untill China came in. Its just so so ridiculous and we've just got to deal with it.
In the Philippines, this car costs $200k USD fully optioned. I don't know how much that is in RM.
@@jpracingph that's around RM 800k
I saw this car in Taiwan last few day's... Really attaching..
Saw quite a few last year during a trip in Japan. Original. Beautiful.
paused at 3:30, which location is this? beautiful location, lovely car.
MrChaos2peace genting highland
22:16 , damn Malaysian roads hurts to the core..

WHAT KIND OF WATCH DO YOU WEAR.
Casio MGT or MTG forgot lol
great car, needless to say but am i the only one seeing such an imperfection on the stitching made around the speedometer, something's wrong, it's way off.
all new toyota supra should bring this engine under their hood and get tuned for more hp 💥
You don't have to walk around to count the wheels. We all know it has 4 xD
i understand if its a CBU based on the price alone,
BUT A SHORTWHEELBASE FOR 1mill excuse me wtf?
The S560 MAYBACH is cheaper than the LS500h and its not EVEN CKD
Review mustang
S$400K for a LS350 for the singapore market
In all honesty, I’ll drive this over a S-Class in Hong Kong... too much Germans (nothing negative), this one is a little bit of fresh air 👍👍👍
Wrong title bobby...
Is LS
holy shit this car's price is insane .
how much this car?
1 .05 M
Prices start from 300,000 to 480,000 prices in the Middle East
Hey bobby..so much money spent on wheels and door trims costing almost rm300k...where do you think they cut corners from? Or is toyota so adamant on taking on the german big three that this is their "phaeton" to lead in badge engineering...hahaha..
The most expensive luxury car in Toyota group isn't the Lexus LS. It is the Toyota Century.
And a big thank you if you've subscribed! Regards
Bobby
i'm driving f sport ($50K) V6 engine
Theres no long or short wheel based version for this generation of LS. Its just one version. factcheck.
I have a LS500 and LS600HL All LS500 are long wheel base , The LS500 is longer than the LS600HL, also the rims don’t cost that much money there only 5k each in Australia
There is no long wheelbase in this generation of LS.
If you been in a S Class you’ll know how these two different cars.
Tbh i dont like the dashboard design at all..it looks too busy compared to S class which is more minimalistic
The fact is Lexus cars are all overpriced in Malaysia because everything is CBU from Japan. Unlike Merc and BMW which have already ckd most of their cars. Yes lexus has very good cars. But they are too expensive to compete against conti cars in Malaysia.
Kev23 i have seen quite a number of LS500 on the road. Ppl with taste will go for LS500.
@@jackalshine660 those u see are recon dude. I saw a few as well.
Kev23 dude... i know how to differentiate recon n new cars n i can guaratee all LS500 i saw is new car. U think Malaysian cant afford? Lol!
@@jackalshine660 dont know where u stay. I stay in KL area. I barely see any ls500. The ones i seen around mont kiara area are recons. I think u mistaken with another lexus model
Kev23 recon are mostly LS460. LS500 is new therefore no recon. Honestly, i have been in KL, Bangsar and Damansara. Not many but I have seen 5 - 7 of them. All with Lexus Malaysia on the plate which indicates new car. Even in my area Country Heights Kajang there are at least 2 if im not wrong.
That artificial V8 sound tho...
Yeah mate ..... the only car I've recently driven without these V8 Sound systems is my Volvo. HAHAH~
THE COST IS IS RM1.0 MILLION
Car: rm1milion ++
Camera: rm1
Filming skill: rm0.0001
Он крут!
2nd hand in 7 yrs time then can buy haha
Agxia 😂😂
Lexus grille looks like a kraken mouth
Wonder if anybody would actually buy this
Yep, saw one on the federal highway. If you are rich and hate driving, just buy one and hire a chauffeur hahaha
Ya la, toyota look but ferrari price
Why not in Singappre there are a couple of them running aroind. If u want something different but dont like those commoner S class or 7 series go for this
I have seen a few on highways and posh area like Bukit Bintang and Bangsar.
S560 Maybach is cheaper than the LS500h LOL
This car's exterior designers took a bland Asian design, tarted it up with misplaced details to make it look more expensive and grafted a mismatched Audi style grill on it. Fail.
I guess by reading the comments, most of the peasants commenters can't afford to buy cars like this and give themself low self asteem reassuring statements like better buy house la. Lexus sucks la. Contis the best. Can buy in 7 years time. Malaysia car price so expensive....very Hilarous comments... Hahahahaha
