Overview

The 2015 Lexus LS 460 is a fullsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $72,520. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi A8L, the BMW 7 Series, and the Genesis G90. Between 3 trims, the LS 460 offers two powertrains. The base engine is a 4.6L V8 with an RWD capable of making 386 horsepower and 367lb-ft of torque. If AWD is selected then the same engine puts out 359 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The LS 460 reaches 60 MPH from zero in 5.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets increased to 5.9 seconds with the lower output. Depending on the powertrain output and drivetrain, the LS 460 can manage a combined fuel economy between 18 and 19 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the LS 460 comes in really pull you towards itself. 

Buying Advice

We would recommend going along with the base LS 460 trim for now, as it has all the convenience and features for a reasonable price. It also comes along with an Ultra-Luxury package ($6,870) which can upgrade the already widely available luxury. With features like power rear outboard Seats, lumbar massage, and butterfly headrest.
