LS 460 2007 - world car of the year

LS 460 Exterior - The unique Lexus L-finesse design language translates into fluent, elegant lines.

Inspired styling

It's a body design that readies you for the exhilaration of the journey ahead; the product of the uniquely Lexus L-finesse design language. Powerful lines flow seamlessly from the stepped-down front bumper then sweep across the bonnet to character lines running down the sides. Complexity blends with incisive simplicity in a design that moves your emotions.

Precise panel fitment

The L-finesse styling is enhanced by more precise engineering that ensures tighter body panel fitment for seamless flowing lines.

Easy access with Smart Key

Step inside with minimal delay as Smart Key allows you to unlock the doors by simply gripping the handle, without ever taking the key from your pocket. You can start the car with similar ease, at the touch of a button.

See further with powerful lighting

IS 250 Sports and Sports Luxury models show you the way ahead with powerful projector headlamps. In the IS 250 Sports Luxury, High Intensity Discharge headlamps pierce the darkness with self levelling beams, both high and low beams colour being matched for consistent lighting.

Headlights help you look around corners

For remarkable night vision, Sports and Sports Luxury models are equipped with an Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) that allows you to literally see around corners. By determining the turning radius from the car's speed and steering angle, the system then redirects the headlamps accordingly for safer night driving. Headlamp washers help ensure clear vision.

Rain Sensing Wipers

To allow you to keep your mind focused on your driving, the Sports and Sports Luxury models are equipped with rain sensing wipers. When in 'Auto mode', the wipers activate the moment the sensor detects the first drops of rain falling on the windscreen.

The convenience of parking sonars *

Slip easily into parking spaces as front and rear parking sonars on Sports and Sports Luxury models help you gauge vehicle clearances, for effortless parking.

Distinctive LED Lighting

Following motorists will notice the whiter light of LED licence plate lighting. When you apply the brakes, LED brake lights illuminate faster, alerting motorists of your intentions sooner.

* Note: Park sensors are designed as driver assist devices only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving and safe parking practices. The driver should watch the area into which the vehicle is to be reversed, react appropriately and ensure compliance with all road rules.
