After a hundred years of development, the automobile market has emerged a number of car companies with strong car manufacturing strength and unique model quality, and Toyota is one of them, Toyota is a world-class car company, it has studied the technology of the internal combustion engine very thoroughly, and it is also a world-class top level in the field of hybrids. Therefore, Toyota's cars are very popular in the world, and after its models enter the domestic market, many need to increase prices. As a high-end luxury brand of Toyota, Lexus, it can be said that almost every car needs to be increased in price, and the most impressive of which is the Lexus ES. It is an entry-level luxury car with a 2.0L engine, if it is put on other brands, it is difficult to have sales without positioning down tens of thousands of pieces, but it is surprising that its sales of this car are surprisingly good, and it can sell more than 10,000 units when it is good in a single month, and even the worst power ES200 still has someone to increase the price for it, I have to say that the charm of the Lexus brand is very unique. And the car I want to introduce today is Lexus's LS, I call it Toyota's cost-effective "king", 5.4S broken hundred even brake pads are pure imports, and there is no need to increase the price.
Lexus has always adhered to the principle of pure import in the domestic market, in order to maintain the advantages of the original taste of the product. The Lexus LS is a flagship sedan of Lexus, with the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8L, its positioning price is 87.8 - 1.18 million, is a proper million-class luxury car. With the Lexus brand tone, if you position the million-level, then many models are to increase the price of hundreds of thousands, of which the Lexus LM we know is typical, followed by Toyota Alpha, these two are originally ordinary MPV, but in the market is difficult to find, more puzzling is that these two cars have to increase the price of hundreds of thousands, really can not help but make people sigh. And the reason why I say that this Lexus LS is the most cost-effective of the Toyota series, it does not have to increase the price on the one hand, and its configuration and materials are almost full, according to its positioning of the basis and price reference, it is undoubtedly a very cost-effective car.
So now I will take you to a brief understanding of this car, first of all, its pure import identity is not to say, the above is also mentioned, so I want to talk about its configuration, its configuration of this car is very complete, and many are standard without you to choose additionally, which is more conscientious than the BBA series of models. And I personally picked a few configurations that I personally think are good to introduce, first of all, it has a rear seat anti-slip airbag to better ensure the safety of the rear seat consumption. On the suspension, the car not only has soft and hard adjustments, but also air suspension, so that the rear seating comfort has been greatly improved, and it is also a higher level in passability. In addition to these, there are seat ventilation/heating/massage, rear seat electric adjustment, 23 Maclee Vincent audio, electric sun blinds, multi-layer soundproof glass for the whole car, HUD head-up display, car air purifier, etc. In the configuration, it is indeed higher than the higher price Toyota Alpha and Lexus LM, so based on the configuration, the cost performance of this car has been certified again.
Secondly, in terms of power, this car also has advantages, this car is equipped with a combination of 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine and motor, this engine has a maximum of 299 horsepower, the motor has a maximum of 178 horsepower, and the matching is the E-CVT + analog ten-speed automatic transmission, under such a set of power, the car's 100 km acceleration is only 5.4S, and the 100 km fuel consumption is 6.8L, which is economical. And we look at Lexus's LM, which is a million-level MPV, and it also needs to increase the price of hundreds of thousands of existence, And it is only equipped with a combination of 2.5L natural aspirated and motor, this engine is only 117 horsepower, the motor is up to 211 horsepower, to be honest, this power is really not excellent, because Lexus LS is at least a 6-cylinder engine, but also a 3.5L displacement, and this needs to increase the price of hundreds of thousands of Lexus LM, but it is only a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, so in terms of power, I think this Lexus LM has more say.
In addition, I think that in terms of craftsmanship, Lexus LS is more distinctive and luxurious, as a flagship sedan I appreciate its interior design, especially the red interior, the red effect gives people an unforgettable feeling, and has an elegant atmosphere. And its air conditioning outlet has that kind of brushed texture, combined with the collocation of the upper stitching, giving people a sense of artistic conception is very intuitive. There is also its door panel, the door panel has origami decoration, this is handmade, very distinctive. In addition, the new model also added platinum leaf foil lining western knitted cotton lining panel, the effect is also very cool. So I personally like its interior effect very much, because it gives a luxurious atmosphere is very distinctive, which is what many models can't give you, likewise, its rear seats also support heating/massage/ventilation, etc., so that your riding comfort is greatly improved, and like the lexus LM interior design at the same price, it is not so luxurious, and Alpha needless to say, so in terms of interior design, it is a kind of presentation of its cost performance.
In general, the models of the Lexus brand are quite good, with the world's first reputation in terms of quality, stronger than German luxury cars in terms of durability and peace of mind, and have their own unique views on luxury concepts. It's just a pity that the car is a good car, but many models need to be priced, like Lexus LM, the original positioning price is more than one million, and after the price increase, there is no more than two million can not land, which really makes people feel a little exaggerated, so this is the biggest "disadvantage" of the Lexus brand in China. And Lexus LS this car, as the flagship of Lexus, its positioning price is reasonable, and does not need to increase the price, the most important thing is that its configuration, power are higher than the higher price of Lexus LM has advantages, so I think it is a cost-effective "king" of a car. After all, the Toyota series of models are rarely known for their cost performance, even if it is more than 100,000 models, its combination of configuration and price is not an advantage, because the low-end Toyota car configuration is really poor, so what do you all think of the cost performance of this Lexus LS? Is this million-dollar luxury car worthy of its positioning?
