Lexus LS460 L – Luxury that defies your imagination.
Lexus LS460 has just about every luxury feature you’d expect in a luxury sedan. Its longer wheel base cousin, the LS460L meanwhile will take you by surprise with luxury & technology innovations that are totally futuristic. Right from Back-massaging seats, heated steering wheel, climate control system that measures occupants' body heat as well as the ambient temperature etc. It even includes a system that allows the car to steer itself into parking spaces!
The basic LS460L's engine is a high-tech, 4.8-liter, 380-horsepower V8 engine. The transmission in the new LS is an eight-speed automatic with manual-shifting mode, the first eight-speed automatic on the market. All the extra space in the long wheel base version is used to increase legroom in the rear, so the backseat is quite capacious.
The "Executive Class Seating", which only comes on the long-body version of the sedan comes with a very cool option for the well-heeled business buyer. In that configuration, the LS seats just four. But they're cosseted in limousine-style luxury. The seating package also includes a little wood-trimmed table in back, a rear-seat entertainment system with a nine-in. Video screen and leather-trimmed instrument panel, power sunshades on the rear door windows, a "cool box" to keep your drinks chilled, rear power-seats and headrests, rear-side airbags, and climate control. Oh, and the right-rear club seat—the CEO's seat—has a massage function and an under-thigh airbag.
LS 460 has a co-efficient of drag (a measure of how slippery a car's exterior is) of just 0.26, one of the lowest such ratings of any vehicle.
For such a big vehicle, the LS 460L is incredibly fast. Lexus says the regular LS 460 can jump from 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds but the long version is equally fast. Out on the highway, the LS 460L is so quiet and smooth you often find yourself going far faster than intended.
In normal parking situations the Lexus is easy to maneuver because its 36-ft. turning radius is far shorter than that of any of its main rivals. And believe it or not, Lexus' self-parking system steers the car when parking, but the driver controls the brakes.
As with other Lexuses, the new LS's cabin is intelligently designed and made of attractive, high-grade materials. The controls on the navigation system, sound system, and other gewgaws are a lot more intuitive to use. There are numerous thoughtful features you notice over time.
Lexus LS460L is brought to you in Oman by the Saud Bahwan Group. In Oman, every Lexus vehicle comes with special benefits and privileges such as 6 years unlimited extended mileage protection – AMAN BAHWAN and Lexus Prestige Club Card that offers 24 hours on-road assistance from AAA.
