The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is positioned as a luxury large car, is definitely a king-like existence in the domestic market of the same level, and it is also the preferred car for many successful people, but the protagonist today is not the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but the Lexus LS known as the Oriental S-Class. As a representative of Japanese luxury brands, Lexus's C-class car ES has been recognized by many consumers, but when it rises to the million level, Lexus LS has become a niche representative. But the sales are small, does not mean that the strength is not strong, let's talk to you about Lexus LS, with the strength of mercedes-Benz S-class, is it worth buying?
To be sure, consumers who plan to buy luxury cars tend to care more about the brand, which is the key reason why the Mercedes-Benz S-Class can last for a long time. In contrast, lexus LS, which is in the same camp as the Mercedes-Benz S-class, still lacks some popularity and appeal in the high-end camp. However, judging from the overall aura of Lexus LS, it really does not let us pick out faults.
It is undeniable that because of the Lexus family design style, this Lexus LS has the nickname of a large ES, but when we see the real car, we will find that the aura of this million-level executive car still has a remarkable performance. The wider and thicker body layout, combined with the larger spindle grille, creates a strong atmosphere of atmospheric elegance. To be honest, compared with the current new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, I believe most friends will prefer the design style of the traditional luxury car of Lexus LS.
As for the body side, the Lexus LS also shows the slender atmosphere that this type of model should have. Through the upward waistline design and the layout of the front length and back short, it adds a bit of fashion and sports atmosphere. The size part, the length, width and height are 5235/1900/1450mm, and the wheelbase is 3125mm, which is the size data of the large car owner flow and the key to ensuring the aura and grade.
Compared with the front face shape, I personally feel that the rear design of the Lexus LS is more restrained. The full overall silhouette and the front face have played a echo effect, but from the design point of view, not too many avant-garde personality elements have been added, and the wide taillight combination, embellished with chrome decorative strips above and below, has a good sense of refinement. However, in terms of the creation of a sense of technological avant-garde, there is a clear gap with the comparison of Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which can only be said to be in line with the style of large cars and can be accepted by most consumers, but it is difficult to give us a bright feeling.
For the interior, I think this is where the luxury of Lexus LS can really be reflected. The central control layout surrounded by the style, the guzheng-inspired air conditioning outlet, coupled with the luxurious interior materials, all highlight the oriental classical luxury and honor. Especially in the face of the current situation that the big screen has become a trend, the low-key classical interior style of Lexus LS seems to be more able to win the recognition of the big guys.
The configuration part, as a million-class large car, this Lexus LS is the top of its brand, which naturally does not need us to worry about, compared to the optional Mercedes-Benz S-Class is much thicker. Air suspension, electric suction door and other symbols of the Millionaire car are not absent from it, and the Equipped Maclevinson Sound, with 23 speakers, the sound quality effect is also in line with the positioning of the million level.
In terms of ride space, the Lexus LS is indeed a bit weak compared to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Although according to the test ride, the rear leg and head space is still relatively spacious, but compared with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8L and other competitors, there is still a lot of room for improvement. To say that its praiseworthy place is that the rear seats with excellent comfort ensure the comfort of the ride, looking at the entire market, leaving aside the rear space that does not dominate, there are not many models that can compete with the Lexus LS for ride comfort.
In terms of hardware, large rows of self-priming have become the standard for Lexus high-end models. The whole series adopts a power system composed of 3.5L V6 engine + motor, and the comprehensive power of the system reaches 264kW. The acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 5.4 seconds, even if it is compared with the German Big Three. The most critical point is that thanks to the V6 engine, the continuous power output in the rear section really made me obsessed, and steady and fast became my evaluation of Lexus LS.
On the whole, looking at the inside aside, the comprehensive strength of Lexus LS is still very strong, and the official guidance price remains between 878,000 and 118,000 yuan, which is also subordinate to the normal level of the same level. Personally, if you're a low-key successful person who wants to buy a big car that stands out from the crowd to show off your strength and taste, the Lexus LS may be the best choice.
