Lexus has finally launched its highly anticipated fifth-generation LS 500h in India for Rs 1.77 Crore (ex-showroom). The LS500h takes the interpretation of Lexus unique L-finesse design language. The bold design of this vehicle means that the roominess of a traditional three-box design comes with all the appeal of a 4-door coupe, housing a six-light cabin.
Peak performance begins with an all-new ultra-rigid Global Architecture - Luxury (GA-L) platform, which provides the framework for precision handling. The only long wheelbase model in the portfolio, the LS 500h sports a new multi-link air suspension system.
The LS 500h, inspired by our Formula One technology is powered by a 3.5L V6 petrol engine combined with a 310.8kV Lithium-ion battery, delivering 15.38 km/litre in a BS6 compliant vehicle. The world’s first multi-stage hybrid system offers exhilarating performance and greater efficiency with a perfect amalgamation of the electric motor and a simulated 10-speed automatic transmission that enables precise shifts.
The entertainment features of the vehicle comes with a 23-speaker Mark Levinson Quantum Logic Immersion (QLI) Reference Sound System, which delivers near live performance quality audio. Also Read: Volvo Planning to Double Market Share in India by 2020, to Launch Fully Electric Car Next Year
“For those who have arrived in life, the Lexus LS 500h has now arrived in India. We are so thrilled to be adding the LS500h to our line-up here. When we think of the exacting standards of the most discerning Indian car owners, we are confident the new LS will impress and delight – through its design, its performance, and the efficiency of the world’s first multi-stage hybrid system," said N Raja, Chairman, Lexus India.
Inside the cabin, the Lexus designers have created a special pleat design which changes its expression when lit by daytime sunlight or the vehicle’s interior lighting. Glass has rarely been used as an interior door-trim piece but the Kiriko-cut glass gives the LS instant distinctiveness and a level of artistry never seen before in an automobile. Class-leading luxury of 1022mm of legroom is complemented by the comforts of Shiatsu massage technology, heating functions and ottomans in the rear for added comfort.
“This is a car crafted for someone who has known the pleasures of dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, holidaying at the best resorts and generally being at the top of their game. The LS500h delivers beyond passion in ways that are wholly uncompromising so that the daily commute is transformed to an experience of epically luxurious proportions," said PB Venugopal, President, Lexus India.
