Recently, Lexus unveiled a mid-cycle refresh for the LS model, introducing several enhancements in design and equipment.
This mid-cycle update sees the Lexus LS 2026 adorned with two new exterior paint options: White Nova Glass Flake and Deep Blue Mica. The F Sport variant gains red-painted brake calipers with silver Lexus logos, amplifying its sporty aesthetic and brand recognition.
Inside, the cabin retains its predecessor’s design. A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an equally sized digital instrument cluster remain standard. Notably, all Lexus LS 2026 trims now feature heated front and rear seats, enhancing passenger comfort across the board.
Powering the Lexus LS 2026 are two familiar engine options:
The LS500 employs a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine, delivering 415 horsepower. It’s paired with either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
The LS500h features a hybrid powertrain, combining a 3.5L V6 engine with two electric motors for a total output of 354 horsepower. This variant also offers RWD and AWD configurations.
Both models utilize a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring seamless and refined performance.
In Japan, the Lexus LS 2026 starts at 11.11 million yen (approximately $166,000 USD) for the LS500 I Package, peaking at 17.73 million yen (roughly $265,000 USD) for the LS500h AWD Executive trim. Prices have increased by 150,000–170,000 yen (around $1,000–$1,130 USD) compared to the previous model.
