5 reasons to buy the 2023 Lexus LS 500

1. Refined V6 engine 

The 2023 Lexus LS 500 is powered by a 416-hp 3.4L V6 engine that can sprint to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. This powerhouse promises a compelling ride, ensuring brisk acceleration for passing and smooth highway cruising. The 10-speed automatic transmission complements the engine, providing a drive that's smooth and responsive. If you want to improve handling on slick surfaces, look out for the all-wheel-drive models. 

2. Supremely comfortable 

The 2023 LS 500 upholds Lexus’ dedication to comfort and refinement. The standard suspension offers a driving experience that balances handling and comfort. Whether navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the LS 500 promises a ride that's both serene and composed. There’s optional air suspension that takes things to the next level, easily smoothing out bumps on even the roughest pavement. 

3. Tech-forward cabin 

Stepping inside the 2023 Lexus LS 500, you're greeted with a cabin that epitomizes luxury and sophistication. The interior is adorned with premium materials, creating an ambiance of elegance and comfort — look out for the available wood trim and quilted semi-aniline leather. The large infotainment touchscreen remains a central feature, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. 

4. Lots of driver-assist features 

The 2023 LS 500 is equipped with an array of advanced driver aids. For the ultimate confidence with every drive, you’ll appreciate the standard blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and intuitive parking assist. If you regularly clock up the miles, look for the available driver-assist package that adds dynamic radar cruise control, lane change assist, and front cross-traffic alert with intersection assist. 

5. Classy design 

The 2023 LS 500 maintains its unique stance with a design that's both bold and graceful. The sedan's striking exterior, characterized by its prominent grille and flowing lines, makes it an unmistakable presence on the road. If you want something a little more sporty, the F Sport model not only adds re-turned suspension for improved handling but also features some unique F Sport design features that give the LS 500 a more aggressive, planted look — without being too over the top.
