After 36 years in production, the Lexus LS is leaving the assembly line.
When Toyota launched its luxury division Lexus in 1989, the LS sedan became the brand’s foundation. Now, after 36 years, production of the model has officially come to an end. The final run comes in the form of a special Heritage Edition, limited to just 250 units, each priced at around $100,000.
Under the hood, the Heritage Edition is powered by a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6, producing 416 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, sent to all four wheels. The sedan accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds and covers the quarter mile in 13.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 106 mph.
Visually, the Heritage Edition stands out with exclusive 20-inch, 20-spoke wheels and a new exterior color called Ninety Noir.
The cabin also receives bespoke details. For the first time in an LS, the interior is finished in Roja Red upholstery. The center console features a commemorative engraved logo, while the headrests are embroidered with a silhouette of the sedan. A 23-speaker Mark Levinson audio system comes standard, adding to the luxury of this farewell edition.
Pricing for the Heritage Edition is set at $100,730 — about $19,000 more than last year’s base LS. Every unit comes fully equipped.
Lexus has also confirmed that the LS 500h hybrid has been discontinued, ending with the 2025 model year.
