2020 Lexus LS 500 Twin Turbo V6 Review...Better Than The Benz?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
2020 Lexus LS 500 Twin Turbo V6 Review featuring a white 2020 LS 500 with the Mark Levinson audio. I've reviewed every Lexus LS in the lineup, but I have never tried the LS 500 Twin Turbo V6. See my Lexus LS Playlist link here: • 1994 Lexus LS400...The...
I really wanted to try the 2020 Lexus LS 500 with the Twin Turbo V6 because I didn't find the Lexus LS 500h hybrid to be a very refined package. I'm happy to say this regular LS 500 with the twin-turbo motor is a far better choice and officially a car I would personally buy at the right price.

Honest excellent review. As fate would have it, I was at Cadillac dealer to purchase a CT6 for my wife. She looked at the car and was not impressed with the interior. We then notice a LS 500 and my wife is glancing at it. I asked my sales guy, what's the story on that Lexus. Thats a trade an 18 with 4500 miles, and loaded. We walk over, we get in and I get the look from my wife. I buy the car for 58k, and for the last 3 months she has raved about the car. We took a trip last week, and I can say honestly, that it is spectacular in every detail. It has to be driven, it just has something thats touches the soul.

I don't see this car much. And it's a shame. It's Benz, BMW, some Audis to a point that I yawn when I see them. And look at the new S-class interior compared to this.

Grest review again. Lovely car, that's a very stylish and unique specification. The build quality looks to be perfect as always. Lexus also offer a Takumi crafted Kiriko glass option that costs about the same as a new Camry but really looks amazing. The lack of a v8 is a mute point but with all the emissions regulations around these days there's not a lot the manufacturers can do.

Totally agree with that statement. I always claim too that, when talking about these flagship models, no matter the brand, it’s like “c’mon man, these are the top of the top, in every aspect”. All of them are “lovable”, they will completely fulfill all your requirements, no doubt👌🏻
Beautiful lines. I wish the back end was a bit more distinctive, but everything else is very unique. It's awesome that you own your own V8 version. I think you are the ONLY KZreadr that speaks to the emotional connection to one's car purchase. To me, it's 90% of why I would decide to go with one brand over another, be it negative/positive emotions, feelings or memories. Thanks for a great review.

i never get tired of seeing this car , unique designs and no disco lights or any other non-sense interior wise just the look of a very fine expensive living room . Fun facts: this car has sensors that display arrows on the HUD whenever a car comes from a side in a intersection and ofc auto concierge for me a briliant feature you just need to sit on the car and the car adjusts to you not you to the car . for me a ttv6 with presedential package on a redish interior they offer .

@@MeynMotorGroup much appreciated...ive just imported a 2013 model from japan to uk with 45k on the clock... should be ok since the japanese have rigorous laws with regards to keeping cars in roadworthy condition...have a 2007 which had the faulty air shocks and melting dash so reason for upgrading was to be done away with the issue from the 07 model...id love to share some pics
So beautiful!!!
The car just had a facelift. As well as interior lift. Good video though!

Massive congrats my friend!
I really wish Lexus offered an LS short wheelbase version again, especially now that they've dropped the GS. People who do a lot of back seat people hauling are just going to buy an RX anyway.
i had the F sport the transmission was my only issue, it never knew what gear to be in. outside of that it was very nice. but i went back to Audi. I do agree that the speed is hidden, I use to do almost 90 by accident cause there was no feel at all. No offense bro but you cant compare the 2015 Audi A8 to a 2020 Lexus. Keep up the great work bro, dont worry about them haters

Yes Audi's are amazing and I only mentioned the 2015 A8 I drove because..that's the only A8 I've driven lol but I love the hyper smoothness of Audi and they are great. I realize there is an all new A8 that got revealed in 2019 but I got not access to new Audis lol. Some girl scouts in an Audi forum got pissy with me and I didn't care because they missed my other point that I made which is, even the ordinary Audis are still great and very comfortable. But thanks so much for your support and for sharing your ownership experiences!

how does the BMW 7 series drive experience compare to one of the Panamera models, in your opinion?
@MeynMotorGroup

I've only driven a 2011 Panamera but what I noticed is the Porsche Handles a bit better but the BMW rides a little nicer. I have driven a new Cayenne and I feel like they focused a bit more on refinement rather than driving dynamics. I hope this helped, sorry I don't have much access to Porsche vehicles in my area

Recently you tried the new G90, how do you feel about this car, is it better than the G90 and is it still very competitive with it, especially in terms of driving and comfort, they always say Lexus is better than the competitors in driving and comfort

The ls is a nice car the Germans have never been known for having soul but they are second to none in powertrain the new s class interior is disappointing from what I’ve seen exterior is about what I expected but I will make my final decision in person but as far as tech it will probably continue to be ahead of everyone in the automotive industry great review

I agree with you sir and yea the tech in the new S class is just nuts but I'm sure the market for that nowadays is huge because look at Tesla's success. Just going with the times I suppose. Thanks again my friend for stopping by.

The only thing in this interior that sucks is the two empty trim buttons on the driver's left side. Like this is a Lexus, not a Camry, at the very least it should be covered up!

Hey thanks so much for stopping by my friend! So cool that you were in Cary and you're absolutely right, Johnson Lexus honestly has the best dealer experience for both buying and servicing I have seen in this area. I'm so sorry to hear that your new location is not as good, I thought really most Lexus dealers would be good as it's a car people are passionate about and I thought dealers would be the same. Regardless, I appreciate you for watching!
