AMAZING IS A WORD THAT’S THROWN AROUND A LITTLE RECKLESSLY THESE DAYS THE NEW LS 500 Amazing used to be reserved for the truly astonishing.

Now it gets used to describe everything from the unremarkable to the utterly everyday. But once you slip into the all-new Lexus LS 500 and hybrid electric LS 500h you realise amazing isn’t something you say, it’s something you need to experience.
