There’s Nothing Like A Classic: The 2016

Lexus LS 460 AWD, LS 460 L AWD and

LS 600h L

Conventional and hybrid-powered models of the Lexus flagship luxury sedan feature exceptional refinement, advanced technology and superb ride comfort

(TORONTO, ON – November 10, 2015) Combine commanding athleticism, boldly assertive styling,

exceptional refinement and inspiring technology. The result is the pinnacle of Lexus engineering and

technology – the LS series prestige luxury sedan.

“The LS series is the elevation of exceptional refinement and comfort to new levels - exactly what a

luxury sedan should be,” noted Cyril Dimitris, Director of Lexus in Canada. “Whether the

conventionally powered LS 460 or the advanced, hybrid powered LS 600h, the LS series enables

our guests to revel in the amazing.”

For 2016, the LS series conveys a powerful presence, in any of the available in three models: The

LS 460 and long-wheelbase LS 460 L, plus the long-wheelbase, hybrid-powered LS 600h L. From

the signature Spindle Grille to the elegant bodylines, the LS projects its self-assured aura and the

ultimate promise of driving pleasure.

Inside, drivers and guests are welcomed into a realm of exquisite craftsmanship and unmatched

refinement. Premium materials, impeccable finishes, advanced features and meticulous attention to

detail combine to create an unrivaled in-cabin experience. The interior is complemented by the LED-

based Advanced Illumination System and signature details such as the analogue clock with LED

illumination.

Commanding performance is assured. The LS 460 and LS 460 L are crafted around a 360

horsepower, 32-valve 4.6 litre V8 and an eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination

delivers invigorating acceleration, seamless shifting and impressive efficiency. Meanwhile, the

LS 600h L features the advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive – a system combining a potent 5.0 liter V8, a

dual-mode electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, two high-torque electric

motors and a powerful hybrid battery to deliver 438 net system horsepower and surprising efficiency.

All models in the LS series feature the added all-weather confidence of an advanced all-wheel-drive

system.

The LS features an Enhanced Drive Mode Select system. A simple turn of the dial delivers a distinct

combination of performance, efficiency, handling and ride comfort. From emotionally engaging, to

maximum efficiency, to a smooth and easy ride, the LS allows drivers to tailor their experience to

their mood or driving conditions. The LS hybrid may even operate in full electric vehicle mode for

short distances.

The LS takes advantage of advanced laser-welding, acoustic materials, sculpted body panels and

other components to confer incredible quietness and ride comfort plus extraordinary high-speed

stability. A rigid body structure and enhanced aerodynamics make for impressive driving dynamics

and a road-hugging ride, while electric power steering and advanced suspension systems offer a

more engaging road feel and agile steering response.

The LS series features a state of the art Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system –

offering heightened control for more confident handling. This system integrates all elements of

vehicle movement, anticipating any potential instability – such as a skid, slide, or over- or under-

steer – then automatically makes subtle corrective action through a combination of steering, braking

and throttle adjustments.

Safety is essential on every Lexus, so all LS series flagship sedans feature an impressive

complement of safety technologies – from 10 airbags to active systems including Vehicle Stability

Control, Traction Control, and Automatic Braking System with Brake Assist and Electronic

Brakeforce Distribution systems. Other safety features include the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear

Cross Traffic Alert System, adaptive front lighting system, fast-acting, high visibility and reliable LED

headlamps, rear tail lamps, daytime running lights, fog lamps and high-mount brake light, clearance

and backup sensors, rain-sensing wipers and a direct tire pressure monitoring system. There’s even

an onboard first-aid kit.

All models in the LS series are impressively equipped with comfort, convenience and luxury

features, including a 19-speaker 450-watt Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound Audio System

with integrated XM Satellite Radio and steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth connectivity for

hands-free use of mobile devices, premium leather seat surfaces, climate controlled, heated and air
