2013 and 2014 Lexus LS 460 F-Sport Review with Infotainment Overview and Road Test

- While BMW has been morphing the 7-Series into a luxuriously silent highway cruiser, Lexus has been busy injecting some sport into their isolated lineup. In 2006 we got the 417HP IS-F, in 2011 came the insane LF-A super car, and in 2012 we were introduced to Lexus' styling and suspension tweak brand F-Sport with the GS350 F-Sport. It was therefore only a matter of time until the spindle grille and the looks-fast package appeared on Lexus's flagship LS sedan.

I agree. I see more old Lexus vehicles on the road than any old comparable German equivalent. Most beamers, mercs and jags crap out shortly after the factory warranty expires and they go off to auto auctions. I currently own a 2002 Lexus GS 300 with nearly 200,000 miles and its still quiet, smooth and comfortable. No electrical or mechanical issues at all.
They are awesome cars!!! I have a couple and my parents drive newer Lexus models too, great cars
Amongst 50+ cars that I've owned in the last 20-30 years, three of them have been my 2013 E350 4matic w/ Designo & AMG Sports pack, 2017 S550 4matic AMG Sports pack with Designo and executive 2 pack, and 2015 LS460 UL Pack. I love all three. They have been my top 3 favorite cars. I put 110k trouble free(ZERO issues apart from new tires and regular maintenance) miles on my E350. My S550 had only 44k miles before got tboned by a moron kid, but it was just as perfect. It took me forever to get my S550 because it was a very rare spec. I tried finding a certified S550 like it, but stopped after nothing came up after almost a year. That's when I found my LS460, which has also been just as good. I've had Toyotas that have been less reliable, including my 2018 Avalon Limited that I'm still having issues with steering rattle, dash vibrations, rear sunshade creaking, and reverse to drive jumping that Toyota says "everything functions as intended". I've had good luck with Lexus, but not Toyota. Mercedes and Lexus will always be my top 2 favorite daily drivers.
@@iggibars It's cool that you replied to my comment from 8 years ago. I no longer have that Lexus and I've moved on to many other brands particularly in search for a more responsive driving experience. In regards to your Avalon: it may be unpopular to say this but, there is a significant difference in quality between Lexus/Toyotas built in Japan versus the ones built elsewhere. Reliability data and initial quality reports back this statement. Lexus factories in Japan hold many prestigious awards for quality excellence. Your LS460 was assembled in Japan. Your Avalon, unfortunately, was not. That said, I agree that their factories outside of Japan need better training, labor force, quality checks and oversight. Hopefully Toyota improves this in the future.
@@riceoobxg which cars did you like that had that connected driving experience after the lexus?
I see so many old RX's I lose count.
I love that he brings reliability into the reviews. Read mags like C&D and they *never* talk about reliability, so it's easy to get misled into some money pits absent that critical information.
Please keep up these great, lengthy reviews. They're much more thorough and informative than the usual five or so minutes. It's especially nice to get a great look at the entire interior.

Lexus LS is the best car on the planet !!!
This is a beautiful car.
I do dig the sound of that V-8. Excellent review!
I don't get why the focus on this kinda car is always how does it drive hard! Or fast . I meant to be comfortable with a taste of sport . It's not an AMG.
This is a great review!
Great review as usual.👍
15:27 very well put. NA over Turbo/Supercharger any day, in regards to sound.
That LS is lovely
I switched from M-B to the LS years ago and will never return to ANY German brand.
Why I mean German is slightly better
In our family we've had three BMW's, one MB, and five Lexus. I agree. I'll never buy another German car...unless it's a new Cayman, which I have a hard time not drooling over.
Goerge Ibrahim no it isn’t when you want a nice, reliable, classy daily driver that’s pretty much all you can get because everything else is german and breaks all the time
@@goergeibrahim6417 Not even close to being better than a LEXUS....
@@hootowl6354 Just makes good common sense to own a LEXUS...
Even if you don't keep the car for 7+ more years, which a lot of people do, the fact that lexus has much better reliability compared to the Germans means that the resale value is much higher. That matters a lot too! I've seen used benzes sell for 40% less after a year!
Lexus/Toyota cars are just too reliable. i mean this car keeps on going and going and going until you get sick of it. Not from breaks down. my old 1999LS 400 at 180K+ miles, all you need is just oil changed. My boss has his Audi A8, he goes in and out of the dealer too many times because things breaks down, i loss count how many times the dealer rent him the rental for him. lol.. I think it's stupid to drive car that waste your life time.
That is awesome, I have a Lexus too and love it!
So true. Germans (VW group, BMW, Audi, etc...) have done nothing to improve reliability. After 50k mi or so, the repairs start comin'... and they are numerous and EXPENSIVE!!!
I’ve had an E-Class, and the a Lexus GS300 and a BMW 730Li. I am back to a Lexus ES300H now because Lexus is best
Great job lexus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my 2015 version all I’ve needed to do since last 7 yrs are oil changes and brakes along with the cabin filter.
1:38 - They cover the engine so there's less noise and you hear it less in the cabin.
Impressive considering the engine barely makes any noise at all
You really have to see the car in person to make a fair judgement on the interior its amazing in person but i still love the wood better
Maxine Waters Yeah the wood is nice but only on the non F sport.
lady you are crazy 😜
excellent review. I test drove one and as much as i love german cars, the price premium at my age is difficult to justify. Will be test driving a 7 series soon.
I cant be the only one who said "OH SHIT" at 14:55 from the cams position it honestly looked like that van was inches away.
a review on the LS600h F-Sport ...soon maybe?
What is that song in the beginning? Stuck in my head - sounds like an instrumental version of a popular song.
I have the 450h GS f sport great car. I don’t think they sell 460 on the uk if they do it’s super rare.
I got 200k on my is300 :) shes running great
My mum has the IS 300h and its running great!
I have a few Lexus videos if you fancy seeing any?

✅Luxury that Last🌌
Closest modern car you will get to old American V8 boats, just far better built and orders of magnitude more reliable.
Buttery, buttery baller.
Lexus made the LFA though... and the ISF.
RCF and GSF too
What's the soundtrack at 35 seconds?
Hi Alex, how is this compared to the 2012 model, in terns improvement? Thinking about buying a used, THANK YOU!
Get 13+ everything looks more modern and improved look for a low miles
The speedometer color does change in S+ mode...it turns red.
LS 600hl is comparable with BMW 750li as both have more than 430hp.
Then you most have been living under a rock.. in 1998 Lexus GS400 was the fastest auto sedan in the world and won sport sedan of the year. The ISF is a M3 fighter and the LFA held the NUR track record and in a recent comparison the new GS-F Sport beat out the Audi a6 and BMW 5 series M Sport and came in first place. Wake up. You cant sleep forever.
you can't be serious.....in '98 the gs400 was NOT the fastest sedan,
Yeaaaah!!! The iS-f is an m3 LOSER!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 the 2013 Lexus IS-F was 10 seconds slower then the m3 sedan!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
And the LFA never held the Nurburgring record that was the 2009 Dodge viper ACR xtrem aero pack 📦 so keep Lying 🤥 JDM FANBOY!
Don't like the rear panel or the rims. Rest of the car looks good. They still need to improve mpg and add a little more hp.
Is that matt Farah's million mile lexus?
we wish
I wasn't expecting him to get into the trunk and close it...
In europe the hybrid is about 60k cheaper than the V8 version😂
true
Thanks for the review! Until the redesign the LS more like the GS, I'm not buying the "F-sport" treatment
definitely not a sports car, but you can tweak it so that you can have both world. Lexus engine is race tune able engine anyway.
Yes 1 engine that works vs 5 that don't
Wish you had more driving shots! U have to many hood and interior driving go pro footage and not enough driving footage
the video is sped up so he wasnt going as fast as it seem on those curves.
I beg to differ about the ubderhoos detailing. Everybody else is hard pressed to come close to the presentation Audi puts on. Lexus's idea of "class" is to just throw a bunch of plastic over the engine - certainly not my idea of refinement
the power window and door lock switches came from a yaris :(
So
again you keep complaining about the Lexus 'joystick." Let me ask you, why do you always move it around with 2 fingers. Of course its not going to work well if you don't use it properly. It works like a mouse so put your entire palm on the mouse and move it like you would normally use a computer mouse. Sheesh...Also stop focusing so much on your fingers scraping against the material so much!
What does the interior look like??
He’s as small as I am yet he’s still sitting atop the thigh bolsters lol😂
I really disdain the new trend to Sparco-look seats in just about everything , even luxury cars. So uncomfortable and pointless.
For some reason, I just can’t agree with the front grill since 2013.
I like the F sport spindle grill
I don't like this car with the sport package. I do not associate Lexus and sport.
ldawson103 Then shut up. Get a BMW
Don't compare this beautiful car to BMW/MERCEDES/AUDI JUNK
I love Lexus too
nothing after watching bmw 760 li....
After 100K, you're probably going to sell your car anyways.
It sits too low
U should seriously do somth for work
else but never do a review pls.
who are you referring to? Alex on Autos did this review and he has almost 400k subscribers...surely you arent referring to him.?
I stopped watching when I saw that carbon fiber thing in the interior. Can't stand it, sorry.
It's polished aluminum not carbon fiber..
the headlights look too ancient and traditional , hoping it look much prettier and sharper than previous model
Interior still lacks a lot of detailing found in the more expensive German cars - lots of somewhat cheap Toyota bits in there - manual door locks, tacky button placement, etc. attention to detail is overrated on Lexus vehicles - there's a reason the LS is priced so much lower than the Germans
The software in that is ancient. Do my 2009 Lexus IS 350 convertible we have the same keyboard type entry. It's a pain in the ass. I'd rather use my Google Maps. My Pioneer Double-Din head unit does a better job as it lists banks & gas stations in little thumbnail pop ups as I travel down the road. First thing I would do is take out the entertainment system. Useless.
Nice vehicle however the wheels should be bigger at least 21"
Once I sell the car, I don't care about if the buyer is satisfied or not. It's final sale, so if the car has issues it's their problem not mine.
edge160 typical slime ball.
I hope no body buys from you..ever!
