Lexus LS460 - Enhanced Tranquility

The first generation Lexus LS460 set new standards in cabin tranquility, and the new fourth generation continues the heritage of this flagship luxury sedan. As noise can be reduced by suppressing vibration, advanced analysis was used to source unwanted vibrations, and a body structure was created to generate counter vibrations, thus canceling out the unwanted noise.

The interior cabin of Lexus LS460 demanded not only exceptional silence, but the quality of the sounds had to be pleasing to the occupants. Extensive study was done to ensure the sound emanating from the doors when opening and closing had a sense of luxury reminiscent of skillfully crafted wood doors in a home.

Lexus LS 460 also features a number of power functions to create a sense of hospitality, yet the sheer number of motors could have decreased the pleasant surroundings of the hushed cabin. This was minimized by targeting an optimized tone from each motor and achieving the objective via high-precision assembly parts and processes. One example is new one-touch power window motors that reduce speed near their closure to lower noise and create a more pleasant sound.


Lexus LS460 - Luxury Redefined with Unique Hospitality

The new Lexus LS460 approaches comfort and convenience from a new angle, redefining luxury. This was accomplished with an ideal mix of technology and evocative design, creating an experience of welcoming hospitality that makes passengers feel like they are traveling in a private jet.

The long-wheelbase Lexus LS460 L brings with it 4.8 inches of additional space and a long list of outstanding standard conveniences, including Gen 5 Lexus Navigation with XM factory-installed satellite radio with real-time traffic, climate-controlled front seats, heated rear seats, a new heated steering wheel, power rear sunshade, a new one-touch open/close power trunk, power door closers, headlamp washers, and laminated side glass, which is exclusive to the long wheelbase.

Lexus LS460 Luxury Package includes upgraded semi-aniline leather with leather trim door armrests, an ecsaine headliner, power rear seats with power and memory headrests, rear climate-controlled seats, and rear side-impact airbags.

A Rear Seat Upgrade package features dual-zone rear air conditioning with air purifier and additional rear air ducts, added wood trim, rear cool box, rear power-door sunshades, and rear audio controls.

A sport-tuned air suspension highlights the Touring Package, which incorporates 19-inch five-spoke wheels and summer tires, Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS), and high-friction-coefficient brake pads with larger rotors.

The Executive Class Seating Package includes a rear-seat entertainment system featuring the world's first ceiling-mounted 3.0 VGA high-quality display with a nine-inch screen, which operates with an electronic-motor open/close function. In addition, a four-zone independent front and rear A/C with air purification and the world's first ceiling climate diffusers, rear-door power sunshades with a fixed rear console and foldout table, and a right rear-seat recliner with ottoman leg rest. A multi-function massage feature includes an enhanced massage mode for the right-rear seat. Created through the use of eight small airbags operated by a compressor in the trunk, it can be used separately or in conjunction with the seat heater and cooler.

While the standard rear seat has a built-in 28-degree angle, the available ottoman seat reclines up to 45 degrees with Lexus' first upper-back recliner featuring a 17-degree angle adjustment.
