2019 Lexus LS500 Review: The Wheels and The Doors alone costs a Lexus ES250 | Evomalaysia.com

[@PrimeV88]

This car looks incredible...especially the interior. Japanese perfection..

[@ArkitektoHardinero]

What an honest, unbiased review of the incredible LS500! One of the best reviews of the LS I've seen! Love how you highlight its long list of unique design features & elements even the smallest details. Keep it up!

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Thanks for the feedback! Hope you can look into my video description, subscribe and follow us, my entire team reviews in this manner, and all of them have their own channels and their own take. Thank you for the encouraging words!

Malaysians' reaction towards Lexus cars prove that we are still judging cars purely based on their badges 🤦‍♀️ c'mon.....

[@jackalshine660]

Samuel Tan exactly. 3 years ago i was contemplating on whether to get the German trio of Japanese. At last i go for left field Q50. Nvr look back since then.

[@samueltan2148]

@@jackalshine660 Nice! Badges' reputations are usually dictated by marketing imo

[@ZenX-0992]

To the typical Malaysian - perodua, toyota, honda, merc and bmw is king. only 5 of this

[@amirrulzam7930]

Yea they think european car r top notch while asian car maker (in this case lexus) r meh and the price r not suitable They also think that this car should be have same price like honda and toyota

[@leaf4664]

this guy really makes detailed, genuine reviews,,deserve more likes, keep up.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Thank you sir!

[@AbsolutMassager]

Makes me thankful in the US the full spec’d version costs just shy of $110k if you have all options and accessories.

[@danmurphy1994]

Bobby Ang your channel is amazing and I'm so grateful to have found it!

[@basilfabian05]

I’m still a S class fan but the materials in this car and the design is so beautiful 😍 Edit: that engine tune, sounds like it’s got an intake. Wow

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

I can tell you're an amazing car reviewer because you're one of the only ones I've ever seen to talk about how good Lexus is with trunk materials and finishes on certain models like the GS and LS! You know your stuff! Subscribed! Not enough car reviewers notice these types of things. Even an S-Class Mercedes doesn't have the same trunk finishes that Lexus does. No one does attention to detail like Lexus!

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

thanks, i just wish the japanese car makers can catch up in terms of software UI design compared to the Germans. The part where I mentioned that the Lexus LS had different font sizes and kernings in the rear seat control panel UI is disappointing. But I also understand it's because the Japanese people don't complain enough, they always blame themselves first, thus facing with a bad UI design, they will go "it's my fault that i haven't learn this User Interface good enough to master in it, I shall give myself another week and if i can't do it with ease, I shall commit harakiri ...." whereas the german customers would just go "hey designer, you designed the User Interface? It sucks, let me tell you why..... "

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

@@BobbyAngmalaysia Yes I loved that part as well. That was another very excellent detail you mentioned. I used to do a lot of graphic design work so appreciated but was also shocked to hear you mentioning font sizes and kerning. One of the best reviews I've ever seen. Thank you for putting this level of attention to detail in your reviews!

[@ildico]

Lexus better make the wheels out of gold and the door panel as well. You go bankrupt you can sell the gold.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Unfortunately they're not. And if you think about it, the Doors and the Wheels costs a Lexus ES! LOL~~

[@arveen1362]

20:37 , Bobby : apologizes and continues to hit the wrong button. Also Bobby : ignores all warnings and continues to rev it up! damn right bro...that engine rumble is awesome ... keep the vids coming !

[@carfusion5162]

Combine hand made craftsmanship and automobile, Lexus is stepping up the game! Let's hope these car maker can mass produce so that the price will go down

[@vneshkandasamy978]

bro. i am impressed. so far the best car review. you are not judging the price but the car itself. great bro. keep it up....

[@danmurphy1994]

You should always drive this way Bobby! This is what makes your videos the best

[@ArkitektoHardinero]

The LS500 is truly an exquisite Flagship luxury sedan inside & out.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Yes only in Malaysia and Singapore this car priced at 1.8 mil. In other countries its RM400,000K - 500,000K ffs.

[@Lwhchris]

Pretty sad being a car enthusiasts in Malaysia or Singapore

[@jag4004]

Exactly. Car pricing needs to looked at. It is really stupid.

[@Lwhchris]

@@jag4004 In Malaysia they charge so high tax on these imported cars just so people would buy Proton or any other national cars. If you build your car brand around this principle its no wonder the brand would produce underwhelming cars and it did, untill China came in. Its just so so ridiculous and we've just got to deal with it.

[@jpracingph]

In the Philippines, this car costs $200k USD fully optioned. I don't know how much that is in RM.

[@Lwhchris]

@@jpracingph that's around RM 800k

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

I wish you had tried Sport S+ mode during your sporty driving instead of the normal Sport S mode! Sport S+ firms up the steering and suspension even further!

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Yeah i tried that too.... yes it's really nice as well thanks! And thanks again if you've subscribed!

[@unknownmr5537]

Sweet...finally is here...saw this in one of the Hong Kong car review video...naisss one bobby

[@ocleansb]

If not mistaken i read from an American car review that the LS500 only come with one variant wheelbase for this model. Lexus has discontinued the long or short wheelbase.

[@ClicksForKicks]

Aiseh! Got voiceovers d. Love the videos! Keep up the good work, man. Cheers!

[@romellbernardo3073]

My dream is to drive that amazing car! And I miss Genting

[@ianpolo5673]

This new LS available only as one standard wheelbase, there is no long wheelbase for this generation.

[@larryfernand5436]

A masterpiece.

[@OMGz1122]

If Lexus can change the UI completely and fix the rear camera, this car should be perfection! I'm assuming it was either their budget or how they wanted to price the car, that challenged them to cut corner somewhere

[@lawrencelau99]

If compared this to 7 series and s class , which is the most comfortable

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

S-Class and 7-Series both are more comfortable for the rear passengers. But I felt I'm more comfy in the driver seat in this LS. Maybe it's the plush materials ... :)

[@jdfd4906]

S class. No horse run.

[@hamidikhalid915]

Bobby, wonderful review, makes me want to look at previous version of the Ls460 that is priced so low in the used market now.

[@yangerek78]

About the back camera u should ask Cardock how does he manage to change the view

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Not just the view. Its a very low quality camera. Same like what you get in a 2012 bmw or current mazdas. Unacceptable.

[@yangerek78]

I guess those UI and software uts nit their strong piint

[@mohdfaiz88]

Sad even they not bring the F Sport variant.

[@poovaneswaransupramaniam19]

Wah they brought in a maroon coloured version of this ls....lovely

[@NA-du5vm]

I don't understand why this red interior is not available to the US.? I plan on upgrading my 2018 Genesis G80 Sport to the LS500 and I would've loved to option it with this interior.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

I thought you guys in US would've been able to spec anything you wish for buying a Lexus for the sheer volume there. Lexus sells about 800 cars in Malaysia EACH year. Which is what they do in 3 days in US i supposed. :) Thanks if you've subscribed, regards! Bobby

[@NA-du5vm]

@@BobbyAngmalaysia to get the Kirko Glass interior upgrade you can only spec it in black in the US. Actually from what I've seen cars outside of the US tend get better options than the US market. We don't get the LX570 Signature model neither.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

It really depends to be honest. In US, car makers are prohibited from selling cars directly to consumers. This is because of the strong lobbying by dealership groups in the name of 'protecting consumer interests'. But in actual fact, for dealership groups like Penske for example, all they care are profits and profits and profits. The brand building journey are non of their concerns. Thus for a car like the Lexus LS, which is somewhat a $75-$90k luxury car, it's a big item 'stockpile' that they have to spec the standard 'Black, white, silver' colour option, and for interior, the most 'movable' ones as well. As for Malaysia, Lexus is fighting an uphill battle against the number 1,2,3 luxury brand namely Mercedes, BMW and Volvo. Thus they need to sell these 'halo' cars that wont make them money, but makes a brand statement and shows commitment to customers. Malaysians are one of the few countries in the world that are willing to spend a huge percentage of our monthly incomes on cars. Even if our cars are expensive. Whenever we get tax breaks, we go mad buying up cars. Take for instance PHEVs, which gets a tax break if they're below 2.0 litres and locally assembled. We bought up so many X5 xDrive40es that Malaysia ranks just behind United States, and we bought so many XC90 T8s that Malaysia was the first country out of Sweden to assemble PHEVs for Volvo. Since late 2014.

[@jackalshine660]

Tbh some of Malaysian spec cars are significantly specced higher than Murica’s spec.. im amazed.

You cornered so well that the camera turned in and then turned back!

[@herbertwong6007]

In all honesty, I’ll drive this over a S-Class in Hong Kong... too much Germans (nothing negative), this one is a little bit of fresh air 👍👍👍

[@lefliy6208]

Hey Bobby, would be interesting to see you do a night review of the car just to see the lighting technology.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Front lighting or interior? This car's interior at night is just pitche dark. In terms of front lighting, i dont see it doing any sort of crazy stuffs like my XC90

[@lefliy6208]

@@BobbyAngmalaysia Any crazy exterior light animations like the new Audis, interior ambient lights, etc. As far as I know, the Lexus LS has designed the interior door panel lighting to give the door handles a "floating" effect. Would be interesting to see how lighting technology progress throughout the years.

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Nah the ambient lights of this car is really subtle ... unlike Mercedes and Audis

[@bourneidenty]

literally no ambient lighting...? Thats disappointing...

[@jdfd4906]

I like Lexus for their interior colour combination, u can have dual colours in the ES like brown and Tan or red and white , impossible for the e class n 5 series. Anything else is overrated, ES noise insulation is gd though.

[@FatBoyChannel101]

Why is the price dropping so drastically?

[@Arnold_X3]

I wonder if it has a different ENGINE than the North American version?

[@zaiaztv]

Please review the 2019 KIA Optima GT bossku. Considering to buy it but still no one reviewing it yet

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Have they updated the Kia Optima GT? Cos i was the first to review it. You can find it in my channel.

[@pk8819]

Bobby Ang they have a FL version, adding in extra stuff, changing the interior and exterior.

[@pk8819]

AZIZAN AMJAH you can search for 2018 optima GT reviewed by bobby last year. Pre FL version but engine wise it’s all the same only different in design

[@peterambrose2148]

i understand if its a CBU based on the price alone, BUT A SHORTWHEELBASE FOR 1mill excuse me wtf? The S560 MAYBACH is cheaper than the LS500h and its not EVEN CKD

[@muhammadazizi8267]

Tbh i dont like the dashboard design at all..it looks too busy compared to S class which is more minimalistic

[@tlchan8599]

This is an art

[@wckoek]

Would you take this over the current S class if price wasn't a consideration?

[@BobbyAngmalaysia]

Let's break it down. Audi A8 - Can't find anything wrong with it but the interior and exterior design is dull. BMW 7 - Beautifully built interior, drives very well, comfortable, and the new facelift is imposing as fuck. Lexus LS - Handsome, best interior build, lousy infotainment, cramped interior, doesn't ride as good as the Germans. S-Class - Rides beautifully, designed beautifully in and out, handles well, materials are a mixed bag of high quality and low quality. If it's my right brain, it will be the LS, if it's my left brain, it will be the 7 and the S.

[@luqman2626]

And how much does the cup holder cost you ?

Theres no long or short wheel based version for this generation of LS. Its just one version. factcheck.
