The LS 600h, the new hybrid powered flagship of the Lexus brand. Equipped with a more advanced powertrain and more sophisticated array of preventive, active and passive features than any car in its class, the LS 600h sets new standards in luxury motoring, ensuring owners enjoy supreme comfort, convenience and on-board entertainment.
