2010 Lexus LS 600h L [Live image update]

09/15/2009, 11:09 AM

By Drew Johnson

Lexus has officially unveiled the LS 600h L for the 2010 model year. Although far from a complete refresh, the 2010 model does sport updates both front and rear, giving the car a much fresher look. Although Lexus has only thus far taken the wraps off the LS hybrid model, the changes are expected to be in line for the entire range.

The 2010 Lexus LS will be receiving revised front and rear fascias, as well as a slightly updated interior. Up front the 2010 LS sports a new bumper and revised headlights, in addition to new side mirror-mounted turn signals.

The LS 600h L hybrid model — as shown here — will also get a front grille similar to the one used on the hybrid-only HS 250h.

The rear of the LS also features a new bumper and updated taillights. New wheels will also be a part of the 2010 refresh.

The LS’ interior has also been slightly revised, including a newly integrated night vision system. As previously rumored, a LS Sport package will be added for the 2010 model year, holding the spot for what many had hoped would be the LS-F.

whether you like it or not, I love this car! I would not mind having it over any of the other german competitors….at least this is known to last! I’ve learned over time, that people who usually hate lexus, have never even stepped foot in one, let alone driven one! And, don’t make up stupid sh!t like, “I’ve driven it, and it sucked…the ride was too stiff…etc”
Most of you can’t even afford half the price of this car and still talk about it like it’s turd…what does that make your car??….rotten turd??

If all you want out of your car is an isolation chamber then this is the one for you. For plenty of upwardly mobile types that’s exactly what they want and Lexus plays that role better than anyone.

@ Dr. Fill. Buddy, Lexus and Acura have different focuses but they are direct competitors regardless of which one is better. It’s like comparing the Redskins to the Patriots! Lexus designs are going downhill just look at the LF-Ch, not the mention the HS. Acura’s designs are officially in the toilet. You said “Whether you like it Or don’t like it Learn to love it Because it’s the best thing going today!”. No! A car has to be more then dependable it has to actually look good!

Not to crazy about the grill, but overall a great looking car. The interior and those multi-projector headlights; Wow!
For once I have to agree with Dr. Fill. Acura tries to be Lexus competition but really competes with makes such as VW, Volvo, Saab, Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln, etc., which all provide ample luxury, comfort and style and in some cases surpass Lexus, but they just do not have what it takes to stay among the big dogs (Mecedes, BMW, Audi, Jaguar) like Lexus does.

@Dr. Fill: As great as this LS is, the new XJ and the upcoming A8 will greatly surpass anything that Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW will have to offer, forcing them to make their cars that much better. Should be fun for all.

@DrFill: Never attain top tier status? Too much baggage? What are you talking about? BMW is making models that competes with themselves and moreover no one wants. I have seen one X6 and that was just before it was shipped to Saudi Arabia. Mercedes are just overrated, cold, and lethargic boxes on wheels. Lexus, however among them, would be considered the Toyota of the top tier segment: BLAND AND BORING. Jaguar did lose its edge, but did not lose its top tier status and is coming with force and holding nothing back. Audi as always been apart of the top tier group, and with its sleek lines and drive me attitude it will be a top tier brand for years to come.

On a side note it only takes one model to ignite interest and raise status in all models of a manufacturer. Case in point: Hyundai Genesis.

Doomsdave,
that makes no sense considering it’s not any bigger than any other speedometer! It’s all a display screen, not an actual mechanical speedometer, and it’s in kilometers. Sh!t happens sometimes when you think too fast!

@Honda: I just see VW and Saab as not economy but not full on luxury, you know the near lux-segment. Honestly do you really see Passat and 9-5 compete against the Tarus and Impala. Although I believe Acura falls in that category, Acura is far better than all the brands I mentioned in that segment earlier. I actually like the new look of the Acuras, but they just lack in that full luxury feel when compared to the top tier models. And yes, I too would take a Honda/Nissan/Toyota over VW and Saab.

Lordy Lordy Lordy. Why would Lexus take their clean, handsome LS and make it look so downmarket with this grille change? I’d recommend anyone interested to get a leftover 2009 pronto.

I’d still take this over a 7-series anyday. At least all 4 wheels would be on the ground moving the vehicle versus 2 up on the back of a tow vehicle as it is brought back once again to the BMW service dept for repair…….

I’ll tell you why, John
Hybrid buyers want their car to look different, even strange, compared to gas-engined cars
They DON’T want to be mistaken for driving the gas-version

In the hybrid market, that’s not a bad thing
That’s a good thing!
I’d take Lexus/Toyota’s word for it
They’ve sold a hybrid or two

DrFill usually backs up his alleged “crap” with facts. If you ask me, him, Borat, and Johnny C are the only ones on here with any sense (sorry if I’m forgetting any LLN Vets). Keep up the good work, Doc.

It’s a luxury car that doesn’t try to be anything else. Not a sport sedan wearing a tuxedo (BMW 7/Audi 8)…not a $200K with an excessive amount of horsepower (Merc S65). It’s a car for folks who want a cruiser. Lexus has been doing that better than anyone for the past 20 years.

I do agree with you blaze- but, dr.filled has no thought process when it comes to autos other then toyota’s. this lexus is nice. but, very bland.
the infiniti brand offers most of the same of the lexus. yet, with better style and way better customer service. well atleast in orlando. i work in a hospital and many of the doctors think that lexus is over rated and has crappy service. they just think lexus is boring and bland. which i and may of the people on this blog agree.

Toyota/Lexus are the best
They know what they’re doing when it comes to America (and Japan)
Other companies are still hunting and pecking at the market

If being bland is their worst offense
You’ve got one kick-ass company

Toyota was Hyundai
IN 1985 or so
Hyundai won’t pay their dues, nor do the due dilligence, to climb that mountain
Can’t wait to take shortcuts!

All have taken their swings
All have swung and missed

if toyota is so great. then why did they destroy the ls 600h l ? its looks like a ghetto camry.
the hyundai genesis sedan won the car of the year award. and it blows the doors off any toyota being produced today. buicklexus does make a better car. but at a cost of $30,000 over the genesis sticker. which is a serious joke for all lexus owners.
a co-worker of mine just bought a genesis 4.6 loaded. she has said and many of the people that have driven in the genesis have said they would never buy another lexus again. it has the quality of the ls460 for the price of a is350.
the lexus brand is just not special anymore.

If that were true, if Genesis were so special,
Why are they only selling 15k Genesis sedans a year?

They won an award?
And?
How many hundreds of awards has Lexus/Toyota, every year, since the late 80’s?

Lexus has nothing to prove

exactly.. dr.filled, hyundai does have to work harder to prove itself. thats why their cars right now are just as good if not better then honda, nissan, or toyota. just like the old honda or toyota from 25 years ago. they had to prove themselves to be better then the big3, which was not that hard to do back then against the big3.

dr.filled, there is help for you in understanding other auto makers outside of toyota. we made some progress with you today. good boy.

by the way, the awards are over for lexus. well, until they straighten up and start making something other then jap buick’s.

Hyundai isn’t making progress
As 30% of their sales are fleet
Fleet sales are up big this year

What’s up with that?

Hyundai’s 7% “market share” you guys tout is as hollow as their brand equity
As hollow as F-150’s sales crown

the lexus dealer in orlando still has left over 2008 models that have not sold.
