2018 Lexus LS Pricing Undercuts Germans, Starts At $75,000
It’s been a few months since we had a go behind the wheel of the latest Lexus flagship, the LS 500. Back then, Lexus offered us some estimates on how much the new luxury sedan would cost. Now, the automaker has dished up some specifics, and to no real surprise, they’re right inline with the figures tossed around back in September.
Lexus says the LS 500 will start at $75,000 on the dot for rear-wheel drive models. Buyers looking for more frugality at the pump will pay $79,510 for the LS 500h, while performance aficionados will have to pony up $81,000 for the F Sport. Those figures are starting points for rear-wheel drive models – all-wheel drive adds another $3,220 to each baseline number.
When we drove this car around San Francisco, we found the new LS to be properly luxurious and comfortable from a passenger standpoint. Behind the steering wheel, driving the big sedan was a pleasant experience with plenty of gusto on tap from its 416-horsepower, biturbo 3.5-liter V6, but neither riding or piloting the LS was particularly extraordinary. That might sound like a recipe for failure when talking about a luxury sedan of this nature, but in this case price does matter.
The new LS is actually almost $4,000 less than the previous long-wheelbase Lexus for which the new car compares. More importantly, it’s also significantly less than its German competition.
