On September 10, Lexus launched the 2027 LS sedan in Japan. In terms of body structure, the new model reinforces the central tunnel based on the existing front and rear structural enhancements. The rear suspension reinforcement and trunk reinforcement incorporate REDS (Response Enhancing Damping Structure), which suppresses high-frequency vibrations through coating and baking thermosetting resin. The AVS adaptive variable suspension system and EPS electric power steering system have been retuned. For equipment, a panoramic sunroof is newly available as an option, featuring a tilt-and-slide opening mechanism with infrared and ultraviolet blocking capabilities. It is paired with front and rear split-type electric sunshades, and a mesh deflector is installed ahead of the sunroof opening. The top-tier “EXECUTIVE” grade adds an interior trim option featuring Kiriko-style cut glass panels. Powertrain-wise, the 2027 LS is offered exclusively as the LS500h hybrid, discontinuing the 3.4T V6 gasoline-only variant. The vehicle is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine (codenamed 8GR-FXS), delivering a combined output of 264 kW, and is available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Japanese market pricing is as follows: F SPORT RWD: ¥14,140,000 (approximately RMB 617,000 at current exchange rates); AWD: ¥14,620,000 (approximately RMB 638,000); Version L RWD: ¥16,040,000 (approximately RMB 699,000); AWD: ¥16,520,000 (approximately RMB 720,000); EXECUTIVE RWD: ¥17,570,000 (approximately RMB 766,000); AWD: ¥18,050,000 (approximately RMB 787,000).
