Lexus unveils the new generation of LS
- The Japanese carmaker Toyota launched the luxury brand Lexus in 1989. Originally, the models were marketed in the United States, where the Premium category has always been significant. Then Lexus models were offered on most other markets. But the USA still remains the leading market of the brand (330,000 units out of 590,000 worldwide sales).
- It was at the Detroit 2017 show that Toyota chose to present the new generation of its high-end sedan, the Lexus LS.
This new sedan, positioned in F-segment, competes as before in the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Jaguar XJ, Tesla Model S, Maserati Quattroporte, but also the recent Genesis G90.

- The new Lexus LS is available with a petrol engine V6 biturbo of 3.5 liters developing 415ch. It will be available a little later with a hybrid engine (like all other Lexus brand models) of the same displacement and more powerful.
- The LS will still be produced in Tahara, Japan where the production level of the older generation has declined significantly in recent years (less than 10,000 units in 2016).
A return to levels of around 20,000 to 25,000 units per year can be envisaged in an optimistic scenario.
