The aging Lexus LS luxury sedan sees another price increase for the 2025 model year, but no substantial changes.
Pricing starts at $81,685 for the non-hybrid LS 500 version, including the $1,350 destination fee. That’s a $1,000 increase from the 2024 model year, which in turn saw prices increase by $3,100 over 2023, to $80,685.
LS 500 models are powered by a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V-6 producing 416 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, enough to get this large sedan from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, according to Lexus. A 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, while an all-wheel drive system with a Torsen limited-slip rear differential is available for $3,250.
The 2025 Lexus LS 500 F Sport once again adds more comfort than sport, adding a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, panoramic camera system, and aluminum interior trim, as well as 20-inch wheels and a model-specific version of the controversial Lexus spindle grille. It costs $85,825, but all-wheel drive only adds $2,450–the same as last year.
An LS 500h hybrid is also available starting at $116,560 with destination. Hybrids combine a 3.5-liter V-6 with a pair of electric motors for a total system output of 354 hp. All-wheel drive is standard, as is the Lexus Teammate system, which allows for a few minutes of hands-free driving on mapped highways and helps with parking.
The 2025 Lexus LS arrives at dealers later this year. This marks the 35th anniversary of the LS, which launched the Lexus brand at the tail end of the 1980s. The current generation of Lexus’ flagship sedan has been around since the 2018 model year, but with a few updates since then.
