New Lexus LS Flagship Sedan to Make its Global Debut at the 2017 NAIAS

TORRANCE, Calif. (December 8, 2016)―Lexus announced today that the all-new, fifth-generation LS flagship sedan will make its world debut at the 2017 North American International Auto Show next month.

The introduction of the LS 400 in 1989 in Detroit made automotive history. Not only did the vehicle make its mark by offering the drive performance, quietness, and luxury that consumers expected from a premium vehicle , its unveiling heralded the birth of the Lexus brand.

Now, 28 years later, the all-new LS sedan will boast a bold new look with a coupe-like silhouette without compromising roominess, visionary technology, and will be built on an extended version of the company's all-new global architecture for luxury vehicles (GA-L) premium rear-wheel drive platform―shared with the LC―for a more dynamic experience on the road.
