The 2023 Lexus LS 500 F Sport embodies the perfect amalgamation of provocative styling, luxurious craftsmanship, and advanced technology. This compact executive car makes a bold statement with its coupe-like profile, striking headlamps, and variety of available 19- and 20-inch alloy wheel options. My week with the LS 500 went by too fast. The LS is striking inside and out, offers an amazing driving experience and has a well thought out interior. This is a fun car to drive and I really like the way it performs.
Exterior:
The LS has a sleek and sporty exterior design. The low, wide stance and sculpted body is highlighted by sharp LED headlights and a power dome hood. It has a bit of an aggressive appearance and definitely gets attention curb side and on the road. The optional 19-inch Matte Black BBS Forged Wheels on my test vehicle added a touch of elegance, especially in the Atomic Silver really showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the exterior.

Interior:
The interior of the LS 500 F Sport offers a luxurious and comfortable experience. The seats, upholstered in high-quality leather, provide excellent support and comfort. The interior boasts exclusive features like the perforated leather–trimmed shift knob, steering wheel, and aluminum pedals. The interior ornamentation, along with the 10.3-inch touchscreen and available panorama glass roof, enhance the modern and sporty feel. The LS 500 offers comfort , luxury, state of the art technology and an amazing sound system. Lexus has perfected the LS and it is a top choice in its class.
Engine and Transmission:
Under the hood, the LS 500 F Sport packs a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine, delivering an impressive 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the LS offers smooth and responsive shifts. The performance is exhilarating, with a 0 to 60 mph time of just 4.6 seconds. The LS maintains a balance between power and efficiency, providing a satisfying driving experience.
Driver Experience:
The LS excels in delivering a refined and dynamic driving experience. The Dynamic Handling Package, featuring Active Rear Steering and advanced vehicle dynamics control, takes the LS F Sport’s performance to the next level. The Drive Mode Select allows customization for agility or efficiency, and the 10-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission offers optimal gearing for various driving conditions. I use the Drive Mode quite a bit across the board but with the Lexus, you still have noticeable power in Eco mode but it is a noticeable jump in acceleration when you go into Sport mode. As a driver, I felt really in control and ready for any situation. The Lexus just feels safe, the cabin is quiet and the LS is very responsive. It is a dream to drive and passengers love it as well.
