Enjoy more advanced moments of prestige motoring: the 2010 Lexus LS 460 and LS 460 L luxury sedans feature even more standard intuitive convenience and technology


(TORONTO) – Canadians turn to Lexus for a contemporary luxury motoring experience – one in which advanced technology, intuitive design and modern amenities take luxury, comfort and convenience to new levels. And the pinnacle of this pursuit is found in the LS series prestige luxury sedans, available in three models for the 2010 year, with revised styling and even more prestige convenience features and state of the art technology fitted as standard.
 
“The LS series created Lexus – and a new, contemporary take on the luxury automobile – when it launched the brand in the 1990s, so it’s fitting that we continue to expand the realm of prestige motoring with a dramatic infusion of advanced yet intuitive technology on all 2010 LS models,” said Larry Hutchinson, Director of Lexus in Canada. “From upgraded styling, to audio to parking systems, the new LS 460 and LS 460 L models are better equipped than ever before. For those in pursuit of more advanced moments behind the wheel, we have created distinct new options packages that take the LS series into the next decade.”
 
The 2010 LS series is available in three models: the LS 460 with Rear Wheel Drive, the LS 460 with All Wheel Drive, and the long-wheelbase LS 460 L with All Wheel Drive. All LS series prestige luxury sedans now include a generous list of features made standard for the 2010 model year. These include:
  • In front, the 2010 LS 460 models stand apart with a revised grille, bumper, and headlamps, while rear styling is enhanced with revised taillamps, license plate surround and exhaust diffusers;
  • A 19-speaker, 450-watt Mark Levinson audio system with hard-disc music library, six-disc DVD changer, input jack for portable music players, the automatic sound levelizer system, Radio Data system, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls;
  • USB audio connectivity, Bluetooth capability, and integrated XM Satellite Radio;
  • A hard disc-based voice-activated navigation system with integrated back-up camera;
  • Premium leather seating (except on the LS 460 RWD with Sport Package);
  • The Lexus Advanced Parking Guidance System and Intuitive Park Assist;
  • Integrated signal lamps on the exterior mirrors.
What’s more, a newly added Sport Package for the rear wheel drive model puts a unique spin on prestige luxury, with the following enhancements:
  • A sport-tuned suspension;
  • Brembo high-performance, high-friction brake pads;
  • 19” aluminum alloy wheels;
  • Electric Power Steering with Variable gear ratio steering;

The LS series is powered by a precision-built 4.6 Litre V8 with lightweight aluminum alloy block that delivers up to 380 horsepower and up to 367 lb-ft of torque in the LS 460 RWD, and up to 357 hp/344 lb-ft in the LS 460 AWD and LS 460 L AWD. Superior engine management technologies, including Electrically-Driven Variable Valve Timing with intelligence on the intake cam, VVT-iE on the exhaust cam, Electronic Throttle Control System with intelligence and more work together to achieve a Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions rating, while careful polishing of key components to a mirror finish and individual engine tuning by a Takumi, or master craftsman, has virtually eliminated unwanted noise and vibration.
 
This V8 is coupled to an eight-speed super electronically controlled automatic transmission with overdrive and sequential multi-mode shifter that delivers smooth, exceptionally quick shifts and a city/highway combined fuel efficiency of 10.8 L / 100 km on the LS 460 RWD and 11.3 L / 100 km on AWD models.
 
All models are fitted with the state of the art Lexus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system, customized to each vehicle, plus Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control. These work in concert with sophisticated independent multi-link suspension systems featuring anti-vibration subframes, stabilizer bars and front anti-dive and anti-squat geometry to deliver a comfortable yet controlled ride over a wide variety of pavement surfaces. AWD models are further enhanced with Adaptive Variable Suspensions, front and rear.
 
Handling and control is enhanced with highly responsive electric power steering. This system is enhanced with variable gear ratio steering as standard on AWD models, and an available option on the LS 460 RWD.
 
Inside, full safety systems include eight air bags as standard (driver and front passenger, front seat mounted side, driver and front passenger knee, front and rear side/curtain). Other safety systems include seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters for front and rear occupants, power-adjustable B pillar shoulder belt anchors, and an on-board first aid kit.
