Lexus’ flagship LS 460 full-size sedan is available in standard form and as a limousinelike long-wheelbase LS 460 L model that stretches 205 inches from bumper to bumper — 5 inches more than the standard model. The LS can seat up to five people, and both sizes are available with rear- or all-wheel drive. Competitors include the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
A hybrid version of the LS 460 L sedan, dubbed LS 600h L, is covered separately in the Cars.com Research section.

The Lexus Enform App Suite now uses iHeartRadio 4.0 and adds the Slacker app.
Building upon the F Sport version of the LS 460 is a Crafted Line special edition. Limited to 750 units, the car is finished in white with black exterior trim. Inside, the cabin gets two-tone upholstery. Lexus also includes a two-piece Tumi duffel bag set.
