Here's Why the Lexus LS600hL Is the Ultimate Lexus Luxury Sedan

This is a more "old school" Doug video. A review of a cool and intersting car that normal people can afford.

[@maksymtt]

You mean if he reviewed the same car?

[@m-a-l-3000]

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".

[@Geremology]

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

[@jordanbanko5347]

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.

[@EvilDeathFx]

It's because it's a Lexus...meaning, most car enthusiasts aren't wowed by it even if you told them about those features

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.

[@camryt]

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.

[@gedaman]

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.

[@brodiejones2028]

You can get the 600 in a short wheelbase. I have one! I drove both and settled on the short wheelbase (swb) version because I'm the driver and never likely to be a passenger so would get no benefit from the extra length nor the executive package in the rear. As an added bonus the swb version is considerably lighter. It accelerates with noticeably more verve and even handles better. Presumably more economical as well. Not that your buy this car for the handling but it handles ok. Better than I expected. I also managed to get one without leather. It has what appears to be some incredibly soft suede instead. Soooo much better. Not hot in summer, not cold in winter and not slippery! The seats are way more comfortable in this material because it has more give than leather. You sink into the seats instead of sitting on top. I'm stunned at how quiet, refined and luxurious this car is. (And fast in this swb version) More so given it cost $13,000 USD In New Zealand and the car has only traveled 43,000 miles. Madness!

[@dibaz1]

Wow 😮 you lucky devil 😈

[@worldofai-games1036]

The US spec only offered the 600h in the long wheelbase version. It also came loaded with every feature Lexus offered which was why it easily broke $100+K USD.

You can also distinguish it from the headlights. The 600hL has these 3 LED projectors on each element whereas the 460 has halogen reflectors.

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.

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.

[@stephens9211]

I have a 2015 LS 600hL and my dashboard de-lamented - faulty installation from Lexus. Mine is garaged with 51K miles. Lexus did nothing to correct the problem and replacement cost were - honestly - 16K for new dashboard and 2.5K to install. So I had is re-wrapped and a restoration shop in Denver for 3K. What I also did was legally tint the front windshield to eliminate the UV rays. Disappointed that Lexus did not stand behind their mistake. I want to share my story with all Lexus owners.

[@harivasan9650]

That’s crazy. What did Lexus say about it?

[@stephens9211]

​@@harivasan9650 The dealership in Denver initially thought the car was in the sun too much - other than that assumption they had not ideas on why or how - the sun is incorrect as the car has been garaged. I bought it in 2019 and to this day it is in pristine condition. Lexus USA (management team) did not return any emails or phone calls - except for a secretary from some department she basically said it was out of warranty - numerous times. They flat out refused to help with the costs of replacement. There was a recall on certain dashboards - don't know if my car was one of them but, they admitted a problem with certain dashboards. The sticker price was 125K - Lexus should have done something but, they chose not to. I will take another run at Lexus/Toyota USA and send them my receipts/pictures for re-wrapping the dashboard with original Lexus leather.

[@harivasan9650]

⁠thanks for the detailed explanation. That is very disappointing and disturbing. My first two cars I ever owned were a 93 ES300 and then a 2000 ES300 and I loved those cars. Sorry to hear about your experience. Hopefully they will do the right thing.

I believe this was also the worlds first 8-speed automatic. This car was car ahead of its time in 2006

[@jblyon2]

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.

[@thecraziestbear]

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?

[@dmbeard74]

Looks like a great car, and it probably is more reliable than the Mercedes or BMW's of it's time. However, since this is a hybrid there are more things that can go wrong with it than the LS460. The hybrid battery alone will cost upwards of $5000 and the inverter around $8000 at a Lexus dealership. And then also, they were known for bad control arms and faulty Mark Levinson Amps which required replacement. Suddenly it's not such an inexpensive option, but it looks nice!
