2024 Lexus LS Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Two variants of the 2024 Lexus LS are available: the conventionally powered LS 500 and hybrid LS 500h. The LS 500 is motivated by a turbocharged V6 engine (416 horsepower, 442 lb-ft of torque) mated to a 10-speed automatic, and it comes standard in rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is an extra-cost option.

The LS 500h, meanwhile, comes standard with all-wheel drive and is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine assisted by two electric motors. Combined output is 354 horsepower. A unique transmission marries a traditional four-speed automatic to a continuously variable automatic, creating a single unit. Standard feature highlights include:

LS 500

  • LED exterior lighting
  • Adaptive headlights
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Adaptive suspension
  • Hands-free power trunk
  • Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Sunroof
  • Leather upholstery
  • Leather-wrapped heated steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation

 Lexus' standard advanced driver aids, known as Safety System+ 2.5, include:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the LS 500 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front, even down to a stop, and can also react to traffic signs and set speed) with lane centering
  • Blind-spot warning
  • Pedestrian and cyclist detection
  • Automatic high beams

LS 500h
This model gets all of the regular LS' standard features but adds:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Adaptive air suspension system (adjusts to enhance ride comfort and handling as well as the ride height)
  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • 28-way adjustable heated front seats with massage function
  • Heated wood-and-leather steering wheel
  • Power-reclining heated rear seats with memory function
  • Synthetic suede headliner
  • Premium wood trim
  • Teammate hands-free driving system

Since the LS 500h comes nearly loaded, no option packages are available. However, Lexus offers several packages for the LS 500. Major enhancements to consider include:
 
Lexus Safety System+ A package

  • Enhanced adaptive cruise control with lane change assistance (uses additional sensors to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and can change lanes automatically when the turn signals are activated)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (warns if a vehicle in front of you is about to cross your path while you're pulling into traffic)

  • Active stabilizer bars (minimize body lean during hard cornering)
  • Active rear steering

Stand-alone options for the LS 500 include an adaptive air suspension, a panoramic glass roof, intricate interior wood or metal (Haku) door trim, four-zone climate control with an advanced cabin air filter, a 23-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, a digital rearview mirror and a heated wood-trimmed steering wheel. Options for the LS 500h are limited but include unique 19- and 20-inch wheels and Haku door trim.

Which LS trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless getting slightly better mpg is a priority for you, we suggest opting for the standard LS 500 over the hybrid. You'll save a significant amount of money, which you can apply toward appealing options like a 360-degree camera, a panoramic glass roof and a buttery smooth adaptive air suspension. We'd also tack on the Safety System+ A package for its upgraded advanced driving aids.
