2027 Lexus LS Defies Death With New Tweaks, But Not In America

  • The 2027 Lexus LS gets suspension, steering, and structural tweaks to improve comfort and handling.
  • Lexus keeps the aging flagship sedan alive in Japan with the 500h available in three trim levels and a choice between RWD and AWD.
  • With a couple of concept cars, Lexus has suggested it will repurpose the LS name for something very different from a sedan.

The LS refuses to go quietly into the night. While the flagship sedan has already been axed in the United States and other markets, it’s still very much alive in Japan. Not only that, but Lexus has just introduced another round of updates for the aging full-size luxury sedan. Okay, the latest changes are hardly enough to qualify as a full refresh, but they show Toyota’s luxury brand isn’t quite ready to pull the plug on the LS in its home market.
