Lexus Malaysia Launches Facelifted LS 460 In Two Variants

Lexus Malaysia has introduced the facelifted LS 460 luxury sedan, now available in standard or long wheelbase variants. The standard wheelbase LS 460 Sport sells for RM 719,448, while the long wheelbase LS 460L goes for RM 829,448 (Prices exclude insurance). What's new? For a start, the exterior receives minor changes to the grille, front and rear bumpers, headlights, taillights and exhaust diffusers.

Being the sportier version of the two variants, LS 460 Sport comes with stiffer suspension, paddle shifts, larger 19-inch aluminium wheels with wider tyres, Brembo brakes and sports seats. Replacing the previous four-seat configuration with five seats, the more luxurious LS 460L instead comes with a longer equipment list.

Powering either variant is the unchanged 4.6-litre V8 engine with 380 bhp at 6400 rpm and 493 Nm at 4100 rpm. You also get the world's first eight-speed automatic gearbox with sequential mode manual overriding.
