Thanks for info. It was time to replace my 2004 ES 330 (250,000 miles - and still going strong). I meant to buy a 450LH but drove off with this!!! A corporate lease return @15K miles. (Limited use during Covid). I’m still learning all the “how to’s” while my 7 year old grandson had his seat warming in less than 2.5 minutes. (I didn’t realize there was a touch pad in the backseat console)! The drive is everything you covered. Things to get use to: The car beeps at you if you change lanes w/o blinker. You may notice it will steer away from another car getting close to your lane and you didn’t realize it. Agree, the mousepad controls are not intuitive. Only negative… Trunk space, room for 2 golf clubs bags or 1 bag and cart… my ES had trunk room for 2 bags and 2 carts.

Awesome review Joe! Lexus IS by far the most reliable & luxurious brand. I have a 2013 Lexus ES350 and love it. Solid like a tank and quiet like a vault ! I’m repeating myself, I’ve commented recently about my ES. I’m extremely happy with it. Bought it pre-owned this past APril w only 30k miles. I’m the 2nd owner, I’m sure it was garaged, not a scratch on it. I have 3 driving modes, ECO, Normal and Sport. Obvious change when you from ECO to Sport mode, immediate acceleration boost (it downshifts). Opposite effect going from Sport to ECO, the car gets so tame, you can feel it get soft. I’m going to have this ES for many many years! As a safety net, I bought an extended warranty from the Volvo dealership where I bought it, 4 years /48k miles whichever comes first. Maybe a waste of $ considering its a LExus, but you never know. Giving the fact i financed it, the extra monthly payment for the extended warranty was minimal compared to if I didn’t get it. This LS500 is a gem, definitely out of my reach, but hey in 10 years when my ES has 120k miles maybe ill pick one up ! 🤣

Hi Joe!! This car is one of the most underrated luxury sedans of all time! Lexus designers and crafters definitely know how to get things together!! Great review as always! I laughed especially when you say ON THIS LARGE SUPER SIZE SEDAN and when you make that fake phone call with Mark Levinson (HELLO? YEAH YEAH I KNOW, SORRY ABOUT THAT! BYE BYE 🤣🤣) I sincerely hope to buy one sooner or later! Hopefully the LUXURY version, which is the presidential version!! At the moment I own a BMW 3 series MY 19 but I'd really like to purchase this big car equipped with the finest elements and with an efficient hybrid system which enables you to save money in the long run! I mean, I love the Jaguar XJ and the Maserati Quattroporte, but the Lexus LS is the only way to have a giant luxurious sedan without spending too much within a short amount of time!! Keep it up! Also, I hope you and your family are staying safe during these quite tiresome times! Peace

I would like to know what makes this worth around $50,000 more than an ES350. How much more effort/quality/manufacturing techniques/other does Lexus put into this?

I've been inside both an LS and an ES and I can safety tell you that there is a jump in quality and refinement going to the LS (even though both vehicles are of 2016 Model Year). - The interior of the LS has more soft padding including stitched leather in many places like the door trims, B pillars, and the dash. The ES has some stitched leather, but has more hard plastic, just not as much as the Toyota counterparts (Avalon and Camry). Suede headliner is also not available in the ES. - The seats on the LS are far softer. Both ES and LS have semi-aniline leather as option, but it feels that Toyota buffed up the LS leather more to make it softer. Oh, also more seat cushion. ES seats feel kind of hard. - The LS is obviously much quieter on the road. You can't hear the engine in most cases. The ES has some noise reduction too over the Avalon and Camry, but not to the level of the LS. - The LS suspension is also phenomenal as it absorbs speed bumps and dips in the roads much better than the ES. You don't feel it as much. - Being RWD or RWD-based AWD, the LS feels more balanced with better weight distribution. The ES being FWD feels nose heavy with most of the weight at the engine. - The LS in this video features rear seat recliners which are a $12,000 option. You can forego this option if you want to save on costs. All this is on top of a bigger engine, RWD, air suspension, and more speakers in the Mark Levinson sound system (ES has 19 speakers vs 23 in the LS) I don't know any differences in terms of steel stampings or engine refinement, but I know that all LS engines go through more examinations such as X-ray scan and acoustic analysis before they make it into the vehicles. I don't believe the ES or any of the cheaper Lexus models get that.

Very impressive car, and easily the best looking LS ever, but chop a couple doors, and make mine an LC500.

But back in that era (early 90's) I remember people were ver skeptical with the Lexus brand. They saw them as basically a Toyota with some luxury pretensions on them, couldn't get the point of why to spend so much money on a Toyota when you could spend that in German car or one from the American luxury divisions like Cadillac or Lincoln which were seen as real luxury. As automotive history shows they were again, wrong.

Does anyone know how comfortable these are? I'm just getting out of my 2020 Mercedes E63S because it's not comfortable enough for my back and neck, both in terms of the seat and the ride quality, even in comfort mode. I have had scoliosis surgery. I'm looking for basically a grandpa car that will be soft and plush on my back and neck. I'm not looking for a super-sports car. All I car about is comfort and luxury features. The 400 hp would be a bonus.
