About the Lexus LS XF50
The fifth-generation Lexus LS (XF50) marked a radical departure from its predecessors, swapping the traditional V8 for a V6-based Multi Stage Hybrid system. The Premier trim represents the peak of the UK range, showcasing 'Omotenashi' hospitality with 28-way power-adjustable Shiatsu massage seats and Kiriko glass ornamentation. Built on the GA-L platform, it prioritises a serene, library-quiet cabin and exceptional build quality over the aggressive driving dynamics of its European rivals. While the complex transmission simulates 10 speeds to improve engagement, the LS remains a dedicated luxury cruiser defined by its intricate craftsmanship.
