To maintain the Lexus standards, the interior of the LS has been made with the finest material, and the finish is superb. On the other hand, the exterior of the car is equally elegant.

If all cars were made like the LS, no one would need to buy another car. That is how good the body work of the LS is. The Lexus LS 600h is supremely comfortable. The passengers are insulated from the outside world with excellent noise insulation. The seats cosset the passengers with fabulous comfort.

The Lexus LS 600h is a hybrid, and has a 5.0 litre V8 petrol engine along with an electric motor. At low speeds (till about 30mph), the electric motor supplies the power. If a sudden burst of speed is required, the petrol engine starts up. The four-wheel drive Lexus LS 600h does the zero to sixty-two miles per hour dash in 6.3 seconds, and the top speed is limited to 155mph.

The parking assist system virtually parks the car itself in parallel parking with the driver just pressing the brake pedal. Rear parking monitors, and parking sensors come as standard equipment. The boot space is just 325 litres, and is significantly less because of the battery packs.

All models have a sophisticated braking system, stability system, and ten airbags. The equipment in the LS 600h includes Bluetooth, DVD, satellite navigation, electric rear blind, six CD auto-changer, Mark Levinson twelve speaker music system plus adaptive headlights. The LS 600h has 19inch alloys, and rear cool box, rear wood console, card entry, heated steering wheel, and leather has been used throughout. Rear seat DVD screens lower from the roof.
