The next-generation Lexus LS is set to be unveiled in October at the Tokyo Motor Show. The biggest, most refined Lexus model is also said to be receiving Toyota’s very own version of autonomous driving technology.
This is big news considering that the world’s largest automaker has kept its self-driving technologies relatively hidden from the world outside, when compared to the Germans and Americans.
The next-generation LS, which is expected to go on sale next year to replace the current long-serving model (pictured here), will certainly stick to a rear-wheel drive layout. Engine options are less certain, with the choice of a 5.0 litre V8 petrol and a V6 hybrid variant said to be in the plans.
Apart from that, the company has also confirmed that a new coupe will be introduced. This is likely to be a production version of the extremely good-looking LF-LC concept coupe, possibly badged as the Lexus LC. Let’s hope it doesn’t veer too far away from the concept, shall we?

I feel not excited nor surprised. Perhaps Lexus, in layman term, just the so-called Japanese’s Mercedes. Pretend to be something that they were not.
Mercedes is for Ah Pek and Pak Cik, Lexus is for a real person who know what is real luxury.
I use kanciul for 10 years this is the right time fo upgrade
Lexus, is not beemer.
Luxury and Prestige from Japan.
This is the ultimate Luxury Sedan to get
LOL…, what about the Flying B and the Flying Lady?
Don’t get me wrong, as good as the LS is, Toyota (ahem) did many things right with the LS, there is still a whiff of toyota in it. It lacks pedigree, not the blue blood lineage of an Ultimate Luxury sedan should have.
The exterior looks good but the interior is a let down esp at the back . Outdated design , looks clutterred ..boring . Wanna fight 7 series , A8 or S class with that interior? Gimme a break Lexus…go fly kite .
