قراءة المقال باللغة العربية

Overview of the Lexus LS

The Lexus LS serves as the flagship model in Lexus's lineup and is currently in its fourth generation of production. This luxury sedan competes with renowned rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the BMW 7-Series, making it a significant vehicle for the brand.

Design and Features

Produced at the brand’s Tahara factory, the outgoing Lexus LS has been in production for over a decade and is in dire need of an update. The all-new model was recently spotted in the American desert, covered in heavy camouflage, featuring retro touches such as:

• Circular reflector headlamps
• Protruding rear tailfins

However, it is expected that the production model will showcase a modern design with:

• A large trapezoidal spindle grille
• An impressive wheelbase
• Ample rear legroom
• Sizeable C-pillars

Engine and Performance

Keeping the model’s track record in mind, the all-new Lexus LS is expected to feature a V8 engine mapped to a rear-wheel-drive layout. However, considering the current industry trend, it is plausible to anticipate:

• A hybrid variant
• An all-electric variant
• A long wheelbase version for the Middle East market
