5 reasons to buy the 2023 Lexus LS 500h

1. Hybrid performance 

The LS 500h has a 3.5L V6 hybrid engine, offering 354 horsepower. It balances performance and practicality with a zero-to-60 time of 5.2 seconds while still achieving an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined.

If you regularly rack up the miles on the highway, you can expect a respectable EPA-estimated 29 mpg.
All-wheel drive also comes standard, making this a practical choice if you do a lot of miles and want something that can handle anything you throw at it. 

2. Exquisite interior 

Known for its supremely quiet cabin and smooth ride, the 2023 LS 500h stands out for the way it irons out road imperfections. The interior is equally impressive, featuring high-end materials and a sleek design, ensuring a luxurious experience for both driver and passengers. As standard, you get power-closing doors and a Mark Levinson® premium sound system. 

3. Plenty of tech 

The updated infotainment system in the 2023 model adds a new 12.3-inch touchscreen, enhancing user interaction. With added advanced voice commands and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the system offers a modern tech experience. With the Teammate™ hands-free driving system, the LS 500h showcases its high-tech nature. This feature makes long drives more comfortable so you can arrive at your destination feeling fresh. 

4. Comfortable ride 

The 2023 LS 500 emphasizes comfort. The car's standard suspension strikes a fine balance between responsive handling and ride comfort. This makes for a tranquil and controlled experience whether you're driving through bustling city streets or cruising on open highways. For an even more refined ride, the optional air suspension will effortlessly smooth out the bumps and imperfections of challenging road surfaces. 

5. Elegant aesthetic 

Despite its understated exterior, the LS 500h's interior luxury and technology set a high bar. The strong lines and distinctive grille nod to the performance qualities of the 2023 Lexus LS 500h but it doesn’t draw unwanted attention. Inside, you and your passengers are treated to premium materials including available wood trim and semi-aniline leather.
