Lost in the excitement of last week’s ES debut, the Lexus LS was named to the 2018 WardsAuto Ten Best Interiors list:
Looking to gain some ground in the languishing fullsize luxury sedan segment, Lexus dresses the new LS in spectacular color combinations (including crimson in the F-Sport variant) and taps the creativity of its assembly craftsmen for hand-pleated door trim and cut-crystal trim that looks like Waterford’s finest. These two elements, alone, would have appeared only on a concept vehicle not long ago.
WardsAuto editors recognize the LS for its “top-shelf stuff from headliner to floor,” knurled knobs, huge central screen and reconfigurable gauges and deem it “worth every penny,” even pushing $90,000.
This is the fourth time a Lexus has made the WardsAuto list, and the second straight year — the LC was honored as a 2017 selection. This year’s competition saw 40 nominated interiors that were all-new or significantly improved from the prior year.
