A 416-horsepower turbocharged V-6 returns smooth acceleration but lacks any real visceral appeal a hybrid powertrain is available too. Previous generations wore a statelier look than the more contemporary-styled one you see here, and the current car's interior is still loaded with quality materials, but it doesn't quite live up to the standard set by rivals. The current, fifth-generation 2024 LS strives to deliver the same levels of luxury and performance that put it in the spotlight, but it lacks the cohesiveness and laser-focused execution that made previous versions so remarkable.

The 2024 Lexus LS luxury sedan is the automaker's flagship and largest non-SUV offering.
