The Lexus LS is a full-size luxury sedan that serves as the flagship model of Lexus, Toyota's luxury division. The first four generations of the LS featured V8 engines and were primarily rear-wheel-drive. However, Lexus introduced all-wheel-drive, hybrid, and long-wheelbase options in the fourth generation. The fifth generation transitioned to a V6 engine exclusively, eliminating the V8 option, and offered only one standard length.
The LS 400, which was the first Lexus model developed, made its debut in January 1989. The LS 400 was followed by the second generation, which was introduced in November 1994. Over the years, the Lexus LS has maintained a reputation for combining luxurious features with high performance.
