The 2022 Lexus LS Luxury Sedan Review - Should You Buy It?
As luxury SUVs become more prevalent, big, full-size luxury sedans are becoming rare. As the automaker's flagship offering for comfort, safety, and technology, the 2022 Lexus LS is becoming increasingly lonely. A few tweaks have been made to the LS for 2022, but it remains largely unchanged for the year. Revised suspension settings and components aim to improve ride quality and stability, the optional air suspension can adjust to ease cabin entry and exit, and recalibrated shift timing helps further refine driving and acceleration. Enhanced radar and camera upgrades are also included in the safety features and driver aids.
What are the new features in 2022?
As for 2022, Lexus' flagship sedan remains mostly the same, but a Mark Levinson system is now available on the base model, and several safety features have been enhanced. With the Luxury and Executive packages, cars now come with an exclusive Haku metal leaf door trim.
Having power and handling that belies its size, along with an artistic interior and a few quirks, is what defines a sedan that is both impressive and practical. The next-generation semi-autonomous driving system will be offered for the 2022 Lexus LS Luxury Sedan hybrid, as announced by Lexus.
