The Lexus LS600hL is the ultimate Lexus luxury sedan. Today I'm reviewing the Lexus LS600hL to show you why it's so great -- and I'm taking you on a thorough tour of the LS600hL to show you all the quirks and features of the LS 600hL. I'm also giving a driving review of the Lexus LS 600hL.

Doug could literally reupload a video from 3 years ago and I wouldn't even notice
The best comment ever.
I going to go watch one. Now.
This is a more "old school" Doug video. A review of a cool and intersting car that normal people can afford.
You mean if he reviewed the same car?
I would, because 3 years ago he didn't state the Doug-Score and later the first Doug-Scores had some other data like "imporance" instead of "cool factor".
Doug was beaten by Lexus owners manual. That's a first.

Kinda let me down when he didn't open up the engine panel
I mean Mercedes and bmw as well
It wouldn’t be surprising to find a rich middle aged person out there who thought that all car engines look like big squares of plastic.
The surprising part would be finding a rich person who’s bothered to open the hoods of all the Mercedes, BMWs, and Lexus they’ve ever owned.
@@bluebrook32 if the rich person is a tinkerer/engineer who got rich from opening and fixing things then I wouldn't be surprised, think it also depends on the background of the "rich person"
Doug is the type of guy to break into your car just to read the owners manual
“hey! what the hell are you doing in my car?!!”
doug: “have you seen this quirk in your manual?!! it’s really funny look!”
“i- wha-?”
“oh shit that is pretty funny”
best comment on any doug video ever
anon 😂😂😂😂
Thank you doug!
HELL YES!! the "Doug is the type of guy" comments are still alive and well!!!!! lol
I've got this car and I'm surprised that he didn't mention some of the more unique things about the car, such as:
1) It was the first production car with LED headlights
2) There is a coolbox in the backseat that functions as a pseudo refrigerator since the A/C ports cold air into it
3) There are infrared thermometers in the back seat to measure the temperature of the passenger's skin and adjust the air accordingly
4) The insane sound system with 19 speakers
5) The performance of the car is significantly boosted when you push the "PWR" button on the center console, but it doesn't affect fuel economy much
Either way, still a great review and it was nice to see the car on here
I totally agree with you! He missed a lot of the amazing points. What about the air suspension functions (height raising and suspension modes), the hold function, the fact that the car can both parallel and perpendicular park on its own, soft close doors, CVT transmission, etc.
It's because it's a Lexus...meaning, most car enthusiasts aren't wowed by it even if you told them about those features
@@jordanbanko5347 This car has a CVT?! What the frick?
@@jakubzidek LS460 does not have CVT. It has one of the worlds first 8-speed automatics but maybe they used CVT for the hybrid drivetrain?
Geremy F “6/10 for features” -Doug
How did this not get a 10/10 value
@Lauren Anderson that's because non car people may not know what they are. Only the most knowledgeable car people will be able to differentiate a Maybach from a "normal" S Class.
he wants to make his high scores as prestige
Lauren Anderson honestly I don’t know why you’d take the DougScore that seriously. I like hearing what he has to say about cars but I don’t take it as law and wouldn’t use it as actual buying advice.
It probably costs a lot to maintain it. Expensive soundproof tyres, a high car registration fee and other luxury car expenses
@@antreaskonstantinou8585 to some extent you're right, but remember, it is a Toyota, that means that at least the most important components will always work (for example: the engine in general, the transmission, suspension, A/C, etc.)
Lexus is the most reliable Luxury car brand on the planet!
They are pretty reliable, but since it’s a luxury brand, with quite a lot of complicated tech, Lexus is probably less reliable than Toyota, or Honda.
@@penelopeboivin3191 Well... first of all, he said luxury brands which Toyota and Honda are not.
Secondly I'd like to point out that Lexus IS *Toyota's* luxury brand so to compare their reliability is senseless as they aim at seperate audiences.

I just got a 2008 Lexus LS460 from one of my dads friends. He retired so he gave it to me for $3k. The car's in perfect condition (minus some minor scratches from him moving a wheelchair for a decade). My previous car was a 2012 Toyota Corolla. This car blows it out of the water.

Best comment yet
Congratulations Lexus... you hit the Doug DeMuro owners manual kill screen!
As a car manufacturer, you know you've done something rather special when you've outfaced Doug with your owner's manual.
I have a 2007 LS 460L with the very rare Executive Seating package. Um...Doug...you skipped the fact that the rear armrest also has a refrigerator compartment under the remote tray...major thing to leave out. Also the rear air purifier, main air smog filtering mode, adjustable air suspension height, the turning headlights, the soft closing doors, the collision avoidance automatic braking, radar cruise control and brake auto holding. I'm sure there's more.
I agree, he left out all of the great features of this car
You can't win them all
The hybrids don’t have the fridge
any askers?
@@Mabeylater293 It has the fridge....where do you get your info from? 🤣
A fabulous, unbeatable example of auto excellence. My 2008 Ls600h is still thrilling me 7 years since I bought it. Nobody can believe the comfort and silence. Doug does not mention the “ Power” setting that delivers neck snapping acceleration, or the hydropneumatic suspension, or the permanent 4 wheel drive. Incredibly reliable, superbly built: I was just in a rwo month old top of the line Mercedes and it was like a rattle box. An unbelievable buy even all these years later, with extraordinary sound equipment etc.
I want one so bad lol 😆
It's wonderful reading your personal review of the car, I think such cars stopped being built a long time ago, you are very lucky to experience a car like the ls600h.

A very useful review. I’m currently doing my PhD on the owner’s manual for the LS600hL.

We were supposed to go check out the Acura TL but someone already in the process of buying it so we asked him if he have any more vehicles with that same prince range he said yes. And here it is watching the video learning how to use all the fancy luxuries features. Everything works perfect. 120k miles for $14,375.

Dear Doug, If you talk about comfort, drive, reliability, luxury, the LS600hL will score 20/10 or even more.,
Lexus fans always think that reviews of Lexus models are biased and not true🤔
@@kristians2704 It's an insane value for the comfort you get. If comfort, reliability, and value is important to you, this is your car. It helps to have a good Toyota mechanic too because the Lexus dealership will still try to take your arm and leg for repairs.
The coolest unique Japanese quirk that no one would ever notice is that the windows when rolled up, slow at the last few centimetres intentionally to simulate the traditional way to close shoji (Japanese sliding doors).
I feel like every Lexus I've ever been in has done that, and now I know why. My 2021 GX 460 did it, as did my friend's 2016 RX 450h and my other friend's 2016 GS 350 F Sport. Thanks for sharing!

Exactly ! Doug mis scored this !
he was referring to modern day luxury cars.
@@clinical3300 Not really, look at the scoreboard, the 1990 Toyota Century doesn’t even have HALF of the options the Lexus had and almost has the same score (5).

Superb craftsmanship. I know Lexus quality so I can only imagine what their flagship is like.
Well said. This car is king on the road no doubt ! 👍

Doug! You forgot something... LS600h is the first serial car (not Audi) with full LED front lights!!!!
First V8 hybrid to I believe. He didnt talk about the height adjustment you can press a button and watch the car lift up, too cool.
Doug the type of guy to state that LS600hl is a random jumble of letters and numbers before immediately explaining how none of it is random whatsoever
So glad he reviewed this car. I work at Lexus and it's amazing when these come in, because they're super rare and one of the best Lexus' ever, and I just thinking last week that more people need to know about this car.
i used to work there and drove that exact car
Good thing Doug helped you out, buddy!
Ya me too
What in your opinion is better for reliability - LS430or LS460?
The 430 for sure
“Eat miles in pure luxury bliss.”-Oh Doug behave
This car is the biggest sleeper ever. I bought an 08 LS600hL last year and can’t believe the value. It’s all the greatest things people love about the Lexus LS, but on a whole other level. Epic👍
One of the best cars ever created honestly
One thing I love about high end Japanese cars is their subtlety. Attention gets taxing after a while.
FINALLY! Love the LS. I own a 2013 LS 460 and here are just a few quirks Doug missed that I know he loves.
1) Front seats have a cushion between the seats and the center console to prevent coins and such from falling into the abyss.
2) Rear seat headrests butterfly folds to hug your head.
3) Air suspension: Normal and High Height
4) Heated and Cooled seats for all 4 seats have AUTO function to adjust the temp accordingly.
I mean memory seats for the passenger
im kinda tempted to aquire one (allthought i have to get the ls400/430 beause i would have to pay almost 280€ per month for insurance for a ls600h) as they seem to be great cars. used to own a is200 and i absolutely loved that car.
Here in America they catch French fries...not coins.
@@neon-kitty2281 I've been a long time used LS owner.
I still have my 2000 I use as a beater. I've had 05 430, 09 460, currently 10 460L.
Although it's nice to have a more modern car with LWB with features not available on the 430.
That said, the 07-12 460 seems to have lost some of the feel and attention to detail that made the LS 430 such a special car. The 430 had better ride quality and was quieter inside.
You definitely cant go wrong with a 430. Its more for your money over any car ever made.
My GS460 has that cushion as well and man that is such an ingenious addition to a car, literally every car should have that.

These are great cars. I work at a Lexus dealer and the only real consistent issues I see with them are control arm bushings once you pass 100K (expensive to replace) and oil consumption. I actually worked on an 09 LS460 today lol
Also, at 14:15 - That's not an LED! It's actually a light diffuser/crystal type thingy, it just focuses the light from the top into the button. Kinda neat.

Update?
I’m looking for one?
Quirk about the silver engine cover: The LS460 has 8 humps on it for its V8, the LS600h has.... 14, because its better than a V12! Also the DVD remote takes 3 double A batteries, the two in the trunk are for the emergency light that is at the end of the spare wheel compartment.
The 90 lexus ls has the motorized seatbelt adjustable.
Didn't even mention the most obvious way to distinguish the 600 from 460. Headlights and grill are unique.
Lexus are great cars ! Amazing craftsmanship. I love Lexus
One of the ways to distinguish the 600h to 460 is the headlights. These were the first full-LED in the world. Regular LS460 had different looking ones.
LOVED THE BLOOPERS, DO IT MORE! love your videos man, God bless you!
I love my LS460L I recommend purchasing one used
Dapper Gaming I have one too, Red on chrome rims. It’s a beauty.
I love those cars and am considering buying one, would you say the fuel economy bothers you?
How reliable and expensive to repair
How is the 460, Probably pretty nice, also?
Dapper Gaming I love the LS460L with All Wheel Drive
You just raised the value of this car by 3%
Agreed!
I never imagined the existence or a car with such detailed amenities. This is amazing.
the self parking is extremely good and can also reverse in for you aswell
You can distinguish the LS600 from the 460 by looking at the headlights.
And the grill! And blue tinge for the badge
Yup. I'm always checking headlights and haven't seen anyone else with one. I even told my wife to stop driving, got out and went to someone drive way to see if they had a 600 too, nope lol

Doug! You filmed this at my old elementary school! How cool!
Doug, you forgot to mention one of the worthiest mentionning quirks of this car: this was the first production car which could be equipped with LED headlights. Although in this configuration, the high beams use HID bulbs, that are only used for the high beams. As opposed to all other cars on which HID bulbs are used either by low beams only or low and high beams. This may also be the only car to have that.
You just made me so proud of my 09 LS460. 😭 Never thought I'd see my car on your channel. Surreal.
Love my 460 😍
Bro nice 👊 just lower the car with 18 inches or bigger wheels with a slight modification it will be a bad ass daily 😆
I'll mention that the plastic engine cover is on the base model too. Probably for a few reasons: the engine is not much to look at, it probably helps dampen engine noise to the cabin, and Lexus has a very professional white glove concierge vehicle service dept and the probably want to encourage ppl to use it by discouraging ppl from servicing their own cars. That said, if you have the skills and prefer to DIY, the plastic covers come off rather easily by removing those little circular tabs. OH and the trunk is much more spacious in the base model.

Since you have reviewed the LS400 and the LS430 you should know that they all have the button that adjusts the hight of the seat belt. On linger trips it comes in handy.
Doug, my 10 year old son loves your channel and wanted me to wish you a happy belated birthday.
@Elliot Rodger happy 5th anniversary Elliot.
Such gorgeous cars. If only they weren't so rare
And not old enough like it should be in 3 years range.
So rare? Doug showed off how you can find them for like 20K
But they are...I think so because this is an 10years old lexus,yes it would be the top model but ultimately not often like newer cars.(I am agreeing you both)
The 600H is definitely rare. I've only ever seen one.
In road, I would say yes
Back when I was in college I used to valet park cars at Neiman Marcus, and I had a customer that drove one, same color and all. It was one of my favorite cars to drive and park, super smooth.
I admire Doug's will to read every owners manual in every car he reviews.
The man's working on his Birthday. That's dedication!
Who tf takes a day off for their own birthday?
Does anyone feel like we were in 2010 just yesterday... and not nine years ago.
I do, I really do.
I still think of 2003 cars as few years old
No just u bcus ur old
2010 feels like one of those great weekend nights where you never want it to end. Bonfires and friends. Then Monday comes around. And you gotta get back on that grind. But in the inside you know you'll never have a day like that again.
thentantt exactly ... omg precisely the same feeling
I actually like the styling of this car. It's not so trendy or gaudy like some luxury cars, while also not too boring. It's just seems down-to-business getting from A to B in comfortable and efficient manner.
The Double A batteries are for the flashlight, part of the spare tire kit. Didn’t mention this vehicle has double Paine glass for quietness. Debuted for 2007. The 460 engine of the year award, mated to first ever 8 speed Automatic, and same 0-60 time (5.4sec) as 5.7L Hemi charger. Also this LS600hL also have intelligent cruise control, originally from 2003 or 04 in the US. The LS400 motor is also FAA certified. These vehicles also had the “Hold” button. Holds the peddle during red light stop.
If you want luxury and tech that's reliable - Buy a Lexus.
Don't let Trump know you said that
@Deez Nuts uffffff
Deez Nuts no they don’t. The Japanese make Lexus models just like Toyota’s. German cars are garbage and will always have problems but Lexus will never will
@@rushintofishin81 Amen to that. I love my old Honda Jazz (Fit) far more than my Skoda Octavia.
Lexus isn’t making anything new that gives the Germans competition. All their cars fall behind the Germans
The 2008 Lexus LS 600hL was the first production car with full LED headlights (and you thought it was Audi), one of the first to have automated parking and so many other features. This car was ahead of its time in 2007. The W221 Mercedes-Benz S-Class was nice, but Toyota/Lexus had innovation that nobody saw coming back in 2006.
I have this car. It is the envy of my block. I'm not fan of hybrid technology, but I am a fan of showing off.
Any update’s??

You can also distinguish it from the headlights. The 600hL has these 3 LED projectors on each element whereas the 460 has halogen reflectors.
“Too thick for me” i know that feeling doug

I wouldn't worry about the self parking still working. I've only got a 12 year old Prius and mine still works fine. My manual isn't as big as that but it's still far bigger than any other I've seen.

About as cliche as wearing a suit whilst reviewing a rolls Royce.

thanks for listening to my idea as
usual great Review Doug
My 1993 LS400 has a few of the same buttons and features: the seat belt height adjuster, the same locks and handles, automatic headlights (which also automatically adjusts the dash brightness depending on how dark it is outside), and the automatic AC button. Everything else is leagues above what the first gen of the LS400 came with. Soon I'll upgrade because the LS class does not disappoint.

Huh???
is your eyesight ok?
What?
His other channel
whats the other??? i just see this
Waited for this for a long time!!
I have the Predecessor to this car the LS430 (2005). I have owned mine since new and I love it. It's comfortable, quiet, reliable, and torquie. I love this car and don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. The LS460 and LS600 were amazing as well.
I absolutely love this car. Its like driving a pillow on a cloud
Hey Doug just watched the motor week flashback of the fiero gt, you need to review one
I believe this was also the worlds first 8-speed automatic. This car was car ahead of its time in 2006
The LS460 had the 8-speed automatic. The 600 had a dual-stage planetary gear CVT, which I believe was also a first. While Nissan developed a dual stage belt CVT in 2002 that's a totally different type of CVT. It was also a miserable failure, which goes without saying.
Not really ahead of any German cars. They might be the first one to put 8speed auto which a year later lots of manufacturer did. That doesn't mean crap. How many people spend $120,000 in 2006 on Lexus?
Also the first to have LED Headlights, assuming it's not mentioned in the video.
I wish you could review the LS430.
Lexus been killing the game for a long time. Easily the best brand of all time
Agreed!!
