Lexus LS 460 (2007-) Review

Category: Large Executive 3.5 out of 5

Summary of the Lexus LS 460 (2007-)

Price Range: £57,263 to £57,263

Assets

Superlative refinement, great new looks, limousine ride quality, it parks itself.

Drawbacks

Really rather soulless, engine lacks low down grunt, grabby brakes.

Verdict

Technocrats will love it, as will those who feel ride and refinement are the defining characteristics of the luxury car. It lacks only that critical sense of occasion.

On sale from January 2007, the LS460 is available in basic, SE and SE-L specification levels, priced £57,000, £65,000 and £71,000 respectively.

Lexus LS 430 Review

Running Costs3.5 out of 5

The LS460 is actually pretty frugal, returning 25.4mpg on the combined consumption cycle. With an 18.5 gallon fuel tank, that should mean an easy 400 mile range between refills.

Cars in this class rarely show much inclination to hang on to their original value, particularly those without diesel engines, and there's no reason to think the LS460 will be an exception.
