It boasts smooth V8 power, a quiet and cloud-like ride, incredible interior materials, and all the standard and optional features you could ever need.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Lexus LS 460
1. Big on luxury
When you slip into a flagship luxury sedan, you demand a vehicle that checks all your boxes in terms of luxury. To maximize comfort, the LS 460 comes standard with a sound-deadening windshield, power door closers, wood trim, aluminum accents, a 16-way power driver’s seat, leather upholstery, and much more. Your inner tech lover will appreciate its technical features, which include a standard 12.3-inch infotainment screen, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 10-speaker audio system, SiriusXM®, Bluetooth® audio streaming, navigation, and more.
2. A cloud-like ride
The 2015 Lexus LS 460 boasts an impressive 386-hp 4.6L V8 engine that accelerates smoothly and with minimal effort. It'll reach 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, but the optional all-wheel drive slows this to 5.9 seconds. The LS 460 also delivers a cloud-like ride on even the roughest surfaces thanks to its well-tuned suspension system.
3. Luxurious rear seats
In executive sedans that transport clients and colleagues, the rear seats must shine, too. The 2015 Lexus LS 460 excels in this department. Its rear seats are impressively comfortable and have 35.8 inches of legroom in the standard model and 36.7 inches in the LS 460 L model. If you really want to impress your passengers, opt for the Executive Package. This adds power ottoman seats with massage functionality, air conditioning with a cool box, audio controls, power sunshades, a DVD entertainment system, and more to the rear seating area.
4. Golf-club-ready trunk
Owning a luxury car like the LS 460 likely means you might spend some time on golf outings with colleagues and friends. This won't be an issue, as the LS 460 is ready to swallow up your golf bags and whatever else you might need to throw its way. Its 18-cu-ft trunk is primed for work socials, family vacations, and trips to the field office.
5. Optional driver-assist features
The 2015 Lexus LS 460 has plenty of optional driver-assist equipment to look out for. Its optional driver assist features include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, a driver-attention monitor, and more. This tech makes every drive as easy as possible while giving you (or your driver) more confidence behind the wheel.
