At least they removed the awful remote touch interface. My mother and father had it in their Lexus…to see them despise it was just tragic. And the lack of a dedicated Air Conditioning button was a bonehead move This will be the last LS in sedan form. Needs a turbo V8 anyways
I've never turned mine off in any of my cars that I can remember, or used that button at all. But then I'm a big "Auto" climate guy.

i still hardly see these... it's still quite common to see an LS 460 and even the occasional 430 but i almost never see the "500"
this all makes me worried for the future, i fear toyota have too alienated the customer base with this model that doesn't really appeal to any particular type of enthusiast

Wireless charger pad is probably inside one of those compartments.
I do look out for this model but I see two around me, one regular and one f sports. I guess that syndrome that Steve once said does not work for LS500.
It's a flagship, so it most likely won't be discontinued. But they need to do more work and fast. Too much to justify the price tag.

You can see how much I know about the LS. Could it be under the armrest? But wireless Carplay doesn't mean it includes wireless charger.
I was referring to the ES.

I have noticed that for the LS500 F Sport, almost all the dealerships here in Illinois always say that rear heated seats option is unavailable and that if I really need it then I would need to do an after market installation. However, I did see some walkaround exterior and interior videos on YouTube where the rear heated seats option is available on the LS500 F Sport. The buttons for that are on the center arm rest of the rear seats (I will paste the link to the video I was referring to at the end). I understand rear heated seats would come as a part of some package (either the luxury or executive) and upon speaking with Lexus corporate, they said that the rear heated seats option is available for the LS500 F Sport, but the participating dealerships decide what would sell most for them so they pick and choose the packages for their builds and that the dealerships answer would be the final answer. Has there been any update on this for 2023 or is anyone familiar with any dealership that offer rear heated seats on the LS500 F Sport ?
(for rear heated seats option please see from 01:25)

The legendary luxury sedan gets a few updates for the new model year.

The entire car is horrible and is quite honestly one of the ugliest looking sedans of all time, and I'm a big sedan guy. This though, is a disaster. It's bad enough that it has a V6, less rear legroom than the ES, and an overly sporty suspension design. The looks are arguably the worst element of this entire flop.

Yep, the Lexus LS will be toast in another year or two.
Sad. Not bc the 500 sucks, but just bc they were such amazing automobiles and pieces of engineering in the past.
LS once had legit chops.

I just can't get over how ugly this car is. It really is a disaster in almost every single way. Interior quality may be good but that screen completely ruins the inside. You know it's BAD when an analog clock can't even fix the screen. My god what buffoon designed that?? Looks like that thing belongs in a cheap Malibu from 12 years ago. If a luxury brand is going to put a screen in their flagship, at least make sure it's done right, similar to Mercedes or BMW. Major failure from Lexus. THIS IS 2023, NOT 2013!!!

Perhaps, but you even said it yourself you would have stuck with Lexus if they had some of the traits of Mercedes. A leader on tech, driving features, the TTV8, more rear room, etc. They chased away lifelong customers, including yourself.
