Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the LS 500 Luxury at RM1,188,000. The LS 500 Executive (Kiriko) costs RM1,468,000, and both variants are listed with the same 3,445 cc petrol engine, 415 hp output, conventional automatic transmission and five-seat layout. On paper, the RM280,000 gap is not buying more power or extra seats; it is paying for trim, so check the equipment list before signing.

Lexus LS buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The XF50 Lexus LS is a petrol luxury sedan with 415 hp and two variants in Malaysia. It is not the cheaper way into this class: its RM1.188 million starting price sits well above the Mercedes-Benz S-Class from RM738,888, BMW 7 Series from RM677,800 and BMW i7 from RM714,800. Buy it because you want the LS, not because the numbers undercut the Germans.
