Lexus LS 500h Saloon (2017 - )

The Lexus LS500h is a very impressive looking car with distinctive style inside and out. The hybrid powertrain is similarly unique and able to switch seamlessly between petrol and electric power (or a combination of both) but the engine can sound strained and the plug-in hybrid rivals have more usable pure electric range.

Area of interest:

For all the raised eco expectations of the hybrid branding the official combined figures are 35.7mpg and 175g/km for the rear-wheel drive versions and 30.7mpg and 208g/km for the all-wheel drive models. This is on a par (or marginally better) than the diesel powered options in rivals like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series or Audi A8 but way behind their full plug-in hybrid versions, which will cost heavily in Benefit In Kind if you were going to run it as a company car. Until October 2021 these plug-in rivals also score a ‘cleaner vehicle discount’ in the London Congestion Charge zone, which will make a massive difference if you need a luxury limo for purring about the capital or are running it as a chauffeur car.

It’s an expensive car to buy too, the base model comparing reasonably against rivals from Mercedes, BMW and Audi but the higher spec quickly increasing the upfront costs.
