This blobby mess of a thing is the next-generation Lexus LS, caught by our spy photographers. The upcoming version of the flagship luxury sedan replaces the current fourth-gen model that has been in on sale in some form or another for the past 10 years.
Ignore the round halogen headlights and lorry-like rectangular tail lights – the real production-spec LS is set to gain styling inspired by the LF-FC concept shown at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. The low nose (reminiscent of the new LC coupé), upswept window line and a very aggressive version of Lexus’ signature spindle grille (which you can see poking out of the heavy camouflage) are all cues taken from the show car.
Under the skin, the next LS will be based on Lexus’ new premium rear-wheel drive luxury platform, part of the global architecture for luxury vehicles (GA-L), which made its debut on the LC. Expect the car to be powered with the usual V8 engine as with the current LS 460, with a hybrid version utilising the LC 500h’s Multi Stage Hybrid system slated to be offered as well.
Further down the line, Lexus is expected to unveil a hydrogen fuel cell-powered version before the year 2020 – the system, which powers the rear wheels and can also drive twin in-wheel electric to provide all-wheel drive, was previewed on the LF-FC.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Wow, that thing looks super sleek, and the rims are huge. So unlike any LS before this since 1989. Can’t wait to see it without all the camo.
So bad, spend a million to get a car shape like Nissan Teana
LS big failure in Malaysia. New LS460L selling for RM900k, 4 years later, the car is sold for RM90k.
King of RV Depreciation
Find me ANY example of what you quote here in Malaysia, and I will give you RM100k extra. Else don’t act smart, it makes you look stupid.
Now only u know hes stupidkah?
4 year old LS for RM90k? Take my money for RM100k!
Fugly and unnecessarily need to camo test like in 20th century. Unlike our godlevel Biza which even no test, alredi inspires confidence that it is a better car compared to this big bro topkek.

Meh… Boring old recycled story like Kunta
But unlike that Albert dupe, Im veri confident with my untested Biza. I have so much confidence in it that I tell my customers:
why u need to test this car b4 buy, even we at P2 have so much confidence in this car that we dun need to test before selling, so why u need to test? Just shaddup and gip ur moneh!
Then they so impress with my confidence that they book without testing. Thats how confident we r in P2.
Damnit…..lexus caught on with bmw by using fake lights on test mules….
the front and rear lamp is fully cover to very classic lamp and hide the shape of real lamp…nice cover…
Typical Toyota Nissan Honda:
longest possible front and rear overhangs,
plus,
ultra-narrow superslim front and rear tracts.
If this World has no S-class and 7-series, I think this LS will have a width of 1820mm; they like it.
Don’t read this: it is criticism. Do you no good.
Cars that ave the longest front overhang are typically most VWs, most Audis, GM, Volvo, Renauts etc..
If only the plunk in a 3 litre motor in that body, it will sell well. When everyone is downsizing their engines, they still choose to go big.
Lexus is for American one la, they selling very well there.
