As a counterpart of sorts to the rigidly formal annual WardsAuto 10 Best Interior awards, Autoblog has simply posted their 10 favorite current car interiors, regardless of how long ago or how recently they were launched. Lexus is the only brand with 2 slots on the list. Here is their commentary:
2018 Lexus LC 500
The Lexus LC earns a spot on this list because it comes closer than most cars to giving drivers a concept car interior in real life. The shape is amazing and fluid, and the driver and passenger have unique parts. The driver has the doors and grab handle wrap inward toward him or her with contrasting faux suede, while the passenger's interior trim curves the opposite way, wrapped in beautiful leather.
The door handles extend outward, independent of any sort of locking mechanism, from doors molded and stitched with beautiful cascading lines. The instrument cluster features vibrant graphics and a moving central portion, admittedly shared with various Lexus F Sport models. And of course, there's the unique indigo, saddle brown and white color scheme shown here that definitely wasn't on offer in grandpa's Lexus. But if you want something more toned down, there are black, red, and saddle brown interiors available, too, that still manage to showcase this gorgeous interior.
2018 Lexus LS 500
Lexus is on a roll. The new LS channels a lot of the flowing concept of the LC, but does so in a more elegant way while also being considerably different than its many flagship luxury sedan competitors -- none of which suffer inside.
The materials are among the best in the business and the craftsmanship is meticulous, but it's the details that really matter. The air vents that blend in with the metal strakes that extend across the dash. The textured metal trim on the door that sprout the same handles found in the LC. The illuminated art-like trim panel next to the colossal display screen (regrettably connected to Lexus' frustrating Remote Touch controller). Every where you look or touch, the LS delights.
Other Autoblog favorite interiors are Audi TT, BMW i3, Lamborghini Huracán, Range Rover Velar, Lincoln Navigator Black Label, Mercedes-Maybach S560, Ram 1500 Limited and Volvo V60. Autoblog takes pains to note that their listings are arranged alphabetically, and not a ranking of the 10 interiors according to preference. They're all too different to put one ahead of the other, as they correctly noted.
