This question comes up a lot.
thequickad had a good response on this page.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...package-2.html

looking at ads/pics is sometimes tough but this is what I look for.
UL has rear window screens that others don't plus rear console is different and panel in front of shifter has three switches for air suspension.
CL (like UL) has headlight washers that are small square patches below the headlights.
ML has nav but I don't think it has headlight washers.
CL and UL can have laser cruise control or radar PCS is a clear plastic plate at the front L emblem.

x2. '05 ultra w/ pcs, 18" factory chromes, 21.6K mi.

The CL and UL have a suede leather roofliner and leather covered glovebox, too. UL's rear A/C also has roof vents like what you see in the 2nd row of full-sized SUV's.

Several leather upgrades are available, however, including Ecru ($1,460), Black Semi-Aniline ($2,100) and Saddle Comfort Nappa ($2,100); all three require the purchase of an additional upgrade package, and Saddle Comfort Nappa is restricted to models painted Black Onyx or Flint Mica.

The Premium Package ($1,390) adds climate-controlled front seats with fans that circulate heated or chilled air, heated rear seats, and sonar-based Intuitive Parking Assist.
So in theory, standard does not equal Premium. Do many really come standard then, with no package at all?

I haven't seen a standard.

BTW, thanks for bringing this thread to the front. I can now add my CL to the poll.

Hi guys:

I am a new member with an 02 LS430. I have tried to search for threads as to how to determine which level of LS430 I have. I am sure it has been discussed many times but I need some help. Oh, by the way, I bought my LS430 ertified from the dealer in 2003 with 40,000 on it and I now have 160,000 on it with almost no issues other than tail lights. I just discovered this forum and I now know much more about my baby than ever before.

Thanks

Thanks

Question wondering which level LS430 I have

Ok, I have done some more reading and more research and I know for sure that I don't have an Ultra. I don't have the headlight washers, although I do have them on my 04 SC430 and also on on my 07 RX350. I do however have nav on my 02 LS430. Is there anything else I should be looking for to determine which level I have?

Thanks

If your 02 is like the 04-06 units, you have the modern luxury level.

The standard version comes with no ventilated seats or even no heated seats,that is the difference.

That's the first base model I've seen. It has heated, but not cooled, seats.

The Premium Package ($1,390) adds climate-controlled front seats with fans that circulate heated or chilled air, heated rear seats, and sonar-based Intuitive Parking Assist.

The Modern Luxury Package ($4,980) bundles a Mark Levinson audio system, navigation system, reversing camera, Bluetooth communications technology, climate controlled front seats, heated rear seats, and Intuitive Parking Assist.

The Custom Luxury Selection ($5,935) includes the Mark Levinson audio, navigation system, rear backup camera, Bluetooth, Dynamic Laser Cruise Control, Intuitive Parking Assist, climate-controlled front seats, rear seat heaters, headlamp washers, and power door closers.

The Ultra Luxury Selection ($11,320) features all that plus Adaptive Variable Air Suspension, SmartAccess keyless entry and ignition, and a number of amenities for rear seat passengers, including: sunshades for the rear passenger doors, a rear-seat adjuster with memory, climate-controlled rear seats with a massage feature, and a rear air conditioner with optical deodorizer. The Custom Luxury and Ultra Luxury packages can be paired with the Pre-Collision Safety System, in which case Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is substituted for the laser system.

The Sport Package ($220) combines a handling-tuned suspension with 18-inch wheels and summer tires. The same package with chromed wheels costs a bit more ($1,920).

The LS 430 comes with a 278-horsepower 4.3-liter aluminum V8 and a six-speed automatic transmission. (The same engine was rated 290 horsepower last year, which might lead some consumers to wonder how Lexus let those 12 horses get away. What has in fact happened is that the Society of Automotive Engineers, or SAE, has revised its test procedures for horsepower and torque, and as a result some of the numbers are coming out lower this year. So in fact all the ponies are still in the stable; but the racing commission is counting them differently. There is no change in performance over last year's model as it's the same.)
nice rundown, I never saw this somehow on the thread!

There were some differences in package names and feature groupings over the years, particularly between the '01-'03 and the '04+. There may have been differences between years in the '01-'03 period, but I'm not certain.
