The Lexus LS500 F Sport is the entry point into Lexus's flagship limousine, and the sporty-looking one. Under the long bonnet is a 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 making 310kW and 600Nm, sent to the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic for a 0-100km/h time of about 5.0 seconds while still returning a claimed 10.0L/100km. F Sport trim brings unique 20-inch dark metallic alloys, a mesh grille, heavily bolstered heated and ventilated front sports seats and Dynamic Rear Steering that shrinks the turning circle to 11.2 metres. Standard kit is flagship-grade: a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 23-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, a head-up display, a tilt-and-slide moonroof, soft-close doors and the full third-generation Lexus Safety System+ suite. It is covered by Lexus's 5-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty. ANCAP has not tested the LS, so there is no star rating. Priced from $199,850 before on-road costs.

The Lexus LS500h F Sport is the hybrid version of Lexus's flagship sedan wearing the sporty F Sport look. Its Multi-Stage Hybrid powertrain combines a 3.5-litre V6 with two electric motors and a compact lithium-ion battery for 264kW of system power, driving the rear wheels for a 0-100km/h time of about 5.4 seconds while sipping a claimed 6.6L/100km, roughly a third less fuel than the twin-turbo LS500. F Sport trim adds unique 20-inch dark alloys, a mesh grille, bolstered heated and ventilated front sports seats and Dynamic Rear Steering. The cabin carries the flagship kit: a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 23-speaker Mark Levinson system, head-up display, moonroof, soft-close doors and the third-generation Lexus Safety System+ suite. Covered by a 5-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, with no ANCAP rating. Priced from $202,500 before on-road costs.

The Lexus LS500 Sports Luxury is the comfort-focused version of Lexus's flagship sedan, swapping the F Sport's firm sporting edge for a genuine limousine feel. It keeps the 310kW/600Nm 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6, 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, so it is still good for roughly 5.0 seconds to 100km/h and 10.0L/100km, but adds adaptive air suspension for a plusher ride, 20-inch hollow-chamber alloys and semi-aniline leather trim. The real story is in the back seat, which gains ventilation, Shiatsu-style massage and recline to go with the standard heating. Up front you still get the 12.3-inch touchscreen, 23-speaker Mark Levinson audio, head-up display, moonroof, soft-close doors and the third-generation Lexus Safety System+ suite. Backed by a 5-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, with no ANCAP rating. Priced from $205,300 before on-road costs.

The Lexus LS500h Sports Luxury is the flagship of the LS range: the most efficient and most comfortable way into Lexus's limousine. The Multi-Stage Hybrid drivetrain teams a 3.5-litre V6 with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery for 264kW of system power and rear-wheel drive, good for about 5.4 seconds to 100km/h and a claimed 6.6L/100km. Sports Luxury adds adaptive air suspension, 20-inch hollow-chamber alloys and semi-aniline leather, and turns the rear seat into a lounge with ventilation, Shiatsu-style massage and recline on top of heating. It keeps the 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 23-speaker Mark Levinson audio, head-up display, moonroof, soft-close doors and the third-generation Lexus Safety System+ suite. Backed by a 5-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, with no ANCAP rating. Priced from $207,940 before on-road costs, it is the most expensive sedan Lexus sells in Australia.
