Luxury Japanese automotive marque Lexus has Hong Kong’s auto enthusiasts at the edge of their seats with the latest hybrid edition of its flagship sedan – the fascinating LS500h. Nigh on 30 years after the original LS first took the motoring world by storm and became a byword for quality and comfort, this latest edition boasts even better style, performance and luxury accoutrements than ever before.

Every aspect of this flagship sedan exemplifies the legendary Japanese notion of omotenashi, a mindset of hospitality that entails going to great lengths to ensure a guest’s comfort and happiness, that Lexus is renowned for. This manifests itself in the technical details – like the intelligent air suspension system that lowers or raises the chassis based on the driver’s determination – as well as comfort-driven aspects like the Climate Concierge, which automatically adjusts the in-car temperature based on passengers’ body surface readings.

Outfitted with a brand new Multi Stage Hybrid System, the LS500h has a naturally aspirated Atkinson-cycle 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine with electric motor that is capable of churning out up to 299PS and 350Nm of torque. When paired with its lean, sporty silhouette and premium rear-wheel drive system, it offers one of the best gas mileages, be it in city driving or highway cruising.

Speaking of the design, Lexus Chief Engineer Toshio Asahi explains: “We designed the 2018 Lexus LS to be spacious yet aerodynamic, comfortable yet high-performance, beautiful yet functional. It speaks of our uncompromising drive for quality and our obsession with detail.”
