5 reasons to buy the 2016 Lexus LS 460
1. All the luxury you need
Buying an executive sedan means you expect a vehicle that checks nearly all your boxes in terms of luxury. The 2016 Lexus LS 460 will do just that and more. It maximizes comfort with its standard sound-deadening windshield, power door closers, wood trim, aluminum accents, 16-way power driver’s seat, leather upholstery, and much more. Are you also craving high-tech equipment? The 2016 LS 460 obliges with 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 premium ride
The 2016 Lexus LS 460 will surely please you with its exceptionally comfortable ride. It all starts with its 386-hp 4.6L V8 engine that delivers smooth acceleration that takes just 5.4 seconds to reach 60 mph in its base setup. Add optional all-wheel drive, and it slows the acceleration to 5.9 seconds. The LS 460 also has a well-tuned suspension for long drives, and it delivers a cloud-like ride on even the roughest surfaces.
3. Upscale rear seats
An executive sedan should pay as much attention to the rear seats as it does to the front, especially when you might end up hauling clients and colleagues — not to mention your VIP family members. The 2016 Lexus LS 460 nails this; it has impressively comfortable rear seats with 35.8 inches of legroom in the standard model and 36.7 inches in the longer LS 460 L. Add the optional Executive Package to really blow those in the back away with power ottoman seats with massage functionality, air conditioning with a cool box, audio controls, power sunshades, a DVD entertainment system, and more.
4. Spacious trunk
Driving an executive sedan like the 2016 LS 460 means you might spend some time playing golf with colleagues and friends. You can all pile in this comfy sedan and head to the links together thanks to the spacious 18-cu-ft trunk that can easily handle several sets of golf clubs and anything else you can throw its way. Even if you're more into activities with your family or loading up with your latest shopping haul, the 2016 Lexus LS 460 is ready.
5. Optional driver-assist features
The 2016 Lexus LS 460 has plenty of optional driver-assist equipment to keep an eye out for. This list of optional driver-assist features includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, a driver-attention monitor, and more. If you're after added peace of mind behind the wheel, you're in the right place.
