Updated Lexus LS boasts of new lighting system, body color, and Teammate

MANILA: Lexus has updated its flagship sedan, the LS, with heightened levels of comfort and overall refinement to match enhancements done to its driving dynamics, a new body color called Gin-ei Luster, the world’s first BladeScan lighting system, and also fitted it with the driving assist feature Teammate.

Raising the level of comfort even further, the LS uses a newly developed Adaptive Variable Suspension solenoid that reduces damping force and the orifice of the engine mounts have been redesigned to alter damping characteristics for reduced vibrations to the cabin. Seat pads use low-resilience urethane that come with vibration absorption properties.

The LS 500h hybrid now has increased battery assistance during acceleration for more power but with lowered maximum engine revolutions for quieter departure acceleration.

Engine torque of the LS 500 (gas engine version) has been improved for better acceleration response. Shift timing has been enhanced and it comes with wider acceleration range for each gear to reduce the rates of downshifting.

Both trims went through Active Noise Control and Engine Sound Enhancement tuning for improved quietness.

Lexus Teammate makes the new LS the safest yet. It monitors driver status using onboard systems so that it can assist based on recognition, judgement, and operation in accordance with actual traffic conditions. It supports lane assist, can maintain vehicle-to-vehicle distance, lane split, change lanes, overtaking, and even comes with Advance Park. The latter uses integrated cameras, ultrasonic sensors, the latest advanced parking assist technologies. It controls steering, acceleration, braking, and gear changes, plus it comes with a bird's-eye view display to show ideal steering wheel positions for a safe parking maneuver.

Debuting in the new LS is the world’s first BladeScan AHS (Adaptive High-beam System). LED-sourced light shines onto a blade mirror spinning at high speed and is transferred to a lens to illuminate the road ahead. While the light does not appear to be moving due to a residual image effect, BladeScan AHS precisely controls light distribution by synchronizing the rotation of the blade mirror and switching the LED headlamps on and off. The system illuminates areas that might be difficult to see with conventional high-beam systems, such as the shoulder of the road.

Gin-ei Luster is a new exterior body panel color applied using the Sonic Method, which condenses the volume of paint containing radiant material (aluminum flakes). The effect is a smooth, mirror-like texture that is all but absent of a granular touch. Its most notable characteristics are beautiful sparkles of light found in its highlights and the sense of depth created by its deep shadows.

The cabin complements the exterior with the "Nishijin & Haku" (with "haku" being the Japanese word for "metal leaf") ornamentation. The multimedia system comes with a new 12.3-inch touch display and is compatible with SmartDeviceLink, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

"The LS, as a flagship, has constantly pursued innovation and has provided new technologies and value for its customers. In developing the new LS announced today, we furthered the evolution of the exceptional quietness and comfort that has been a steadfast constant since the model's first generation, and, by employing the advanced driving assist technologies of Lexus Teammate, we aimed for a mobility experience that is much safer and more secured than before. This means reduced driver burden from the operation of the accelerator, brakes, and steering, allowing the driver to focus more on overall driving. Also, as can be accomplished precisely because we are an automobile company well-versed in the relationship between car and driver, driving assist that achieves riding comfort as if an expert driver was behind the wheel and a human-machine interface (HMI) that enables the car and the driver to converse and to constantly and correctly grasp each other's condition create a sense of security. Furthermore, in the process of developing such, we drastically enhanced and evolved fundamental vehicle performance. Lexus, based on its human-centered approach, will continue to take up challenges, and we intend to keep on delivering experiences that bring abundance to the lifestyles of each and every one of our customers," said Lexus president Koji Sato.
