The Lexus L-Select Customization Program
The new L-Select Lexus customization program has launched in Japan. This program, which is currently limited to the LS, makes it possible to pick and choose your leather, wood trim, even your roof material.
Here’s a small sampling of the possible interior combinations:
These are some serious interior options, I’m all over that IS-F inspired red/black interior. The laser-cut wood is hard to judge in photos, but it might be a nice look depending on the pattern.
In the short term, L-Select will be limited to the Japanese market, but this level of customization is going to be a central element as the automakers look to upgrade the luxury aspects of their vehicles.
For a full table of options, you can refer to the Lexus Japan press release (translated).

thanks krew…this made me drop my itouch
luckily on my desk…wow…where do i begin?! that wood…is amazing…PBI!! but is all that writing supposed to be just a chart? anyways, i love all the wood options! the only interior that seems ugly is the 2nd to last one. besides that, this looks promising against bmw’s 7 series custimization program
Nice! I want more! MORE OPTIONS!
haha, they’re even offering pink!
From the beginning, Lexus Japan customers have had their cars built to order—trim levels are less prepackaged as in N. America. They could mix and match among the combinations available. Now they aren’t even restricted to those combinations—they have literally thousands of choices. Wow.
Lexus USA should be taking notes.
I want this my future 450H
That wood is amazing
Did you see that new Rear-LCD-Screen in the middle? Is this a new option as well, instead of the sealing mounted one?
Good point—there’s always been a customization program in Japan, though not this extensive.
I did notice the LCD screen, but thought it was just another Japan-only option. However, after your comment, I looked through the Lexus Japan website and found that they also had the ceiling-mounted LCD screen.
I’ve put in a request for more info, and will update once I find out some details.
Yes that is a new option, it goes behind the center armrest. The previous drop-down screen system is still available. Not sure though if the center armrest screen will be available outside Japan though.
Its good that Lexus finally offers some customising options, but this doesn’t look elegant or understated but rather too ostentatious (rapper’s LS?). Giving the same color combo’s as in lesser models like the IS doesn’t suit the flagship image of LS. I honestly can’t imagine older customers buying an LSh & opting for that red/black interior color with its light grey wood in N.America. Those two tone seats especially with the black outer panels look like some aftermarket job & why are they obssessed with black as an interior color. I think Aston Martin & Porsche offer the best customisation programs, (Aston has a superb color configurator in their website).
Personally I wouldn’t opt for any of the colors shown here if it were my LS, I still adore the Cashmere leather/Medium Brown Walnut interior color.
The Toyota Century has the screen b/w the seats too. Maybe its just for the Japanese LS only.
