His calm voice alone says a lot about this car. Enough said.
The LS is such an underrated car among snobby car magazines and CZcams creators. It's not a 7 Series, A8, or S Class.
It has nothing to prove to anyone. It's a competent luxury car with a proven powertrain. It doesn't try to be anything more and that's what makes it great.
Idk if it’s just me but growing up with broken cars “luxury” to me is reliability. That’s why I buy Lexus
And Lexus doesnt hit you up for more $ for every single thing like MB, BMW, and Audi.
It’s a true luxury car that doesn’t get confused and try to be a sports car at the same time. Which in my opinion, is what is ruining modern cars. Huge SUV’s and luxury sedans don’t need 35 profile tires with super stiff suspension and 700 horsepower. I love Lexus for this reason
the Lexus IS better than all 3 cause it doesnt try to prove its self! the & series the S class and not as much but still the a8 try to look expensive with crazy style but the LS is beautiful and simple! thats an automatic win
The last minutes of the video don’t only show your growth as a youtuber and car journalist, but your growth as a person. To not take revenge on someone or to just let anger, rage and other emotions consume you, that’s what’s growth is about. I’m proud of your attitude, proud of your videos and proud of being a being a viewer of yours. Thank you, Zack
“The wheels look small, at only 20 inches” insanity that that’s a normal thing today
20 inch rims used to be a hip hop punch line 😂
I have to commend you on seeing that person who wronged you and keeping your composure. That says a lot about your character.
Thanks for changing the course of my day from mediocre to positive.
The 3.5 that is used in hybrids is the 2GR-FXE engine, which is an evolution of the 2GR-FE engine. So technically it's an old engine. Not quite 20 years old yet though, the 2GR-FE was first produced in 2005 for the Toyota Avalon.
It's 8GR-FXS
I was on the fence about getting this car, but once he said, my wife and my side piece could fit in it comfortably, I’m definitely getting this vehicle now !!!😂🎉
Calm Zack is calm
I am glad to see a better interior/infotainment system. We have 2 2019 LS500H butt haulers at my work and the infotainment is god awful. It has that stupid touchpad with no way to get to a lot of controls unless you dig in menus. Massage seats work nice too. Hybrid system seems dull compared to my Accord hybrid.
just wanted to confirm those are 19" not the 20" upgrade wheels. Still, smaller wheels, better ride and mileage.
Looking back now, you are correct. I looked at the info Lexus sent me and it had the 20’s listed, but the 19’s under optional equipment. Thanks!
I want to see your review on the Infiniti q50 hybrid it’s the most unique powetrain Infiniti made so surprised u haven’t reviewed it
If Zach were in a Camaro he definitely would've pulled over and beat that dude's ass 🤣
Then gone to a takeover event 😂
Preach I'm surprised the LS helped facilitate that thank you for your honest and professionalism journalism
W zack, i love all your reviews man. been binge watching them all😭
Zack. Keep doing what you are doing! Long time follower of your channel and see substantial improvements from the humble beginning.
Like this Lexus. It’s a subtle luxury car that doesn’t scream for attention. Obviously the market might not be looking for this and it could be the downside hurting the sales against competition.
But if I am buying a luxury car as a keeper. Lexus is what I am going with.
The sensor you mentioned are LIDAR for Lexus’ ADVANCED DRIVE system which is far more reliable than TESLA’s autopilot or FSD system.
Based on this review, and other reviews on big luxury sedans. This looks to be on par, maybe even better than the S-class and 7 series.
Better than the 7 series definitely, S Class? Second to it
The S class is not what it used to be. LS all the way. The 7 series? Should never be mentioned.
Loved the video and the tone. Nice video Zach! It will all be ok, and even better much of the time!
my friend your story in the end of this video, which i went through same situation, today i am very successful person, when i look at them driving my 2022 lexus rx450h, it keeps me calm and let my past slide, then i dont look back, i made myself proud to what i am today, and driving an amazing 2022 model lexus SUV, very true about lexus, that when you drive it, its just a calm therapy for your mind and body, helps you calm down and let you not get angry, and your lexus ls500h review is amazing, loved every second of it.
lol loved this review, especially with the impromptu ending :)
I would be more impressed if someone pulled up in one of these than an S-Class or 7-Series. The Mercedes-Benz and the BMW are the easy choices if you want an ostentatious full-size luxury car. You have to choose an LS500. The LS500 is restrained, calm, subtle, and has nothing to prove to anyone. It doesn't stand out. It may not be quite as nice as the S-Class or 7-Series but it will still be going long after those cars have gotten bricked because of some obscure German engineering.
The best revenge is living well. You've done well getting a Lexus LS500h press car to roll around in.
Thanks!
I ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED THIS REVIEW.
GREAT JOB, MY FRIEND!!
😳😳😳 wow! So calm,cool & collected! 😂😂
i am officially mellowed
I feel like this car definitely deserved chrome exhaust pipes with that kind of rounded rectangular shape, would've looked so good
I feel you with how the Lexus makes you feel I feel a little simpler with my Mercedes but the sheer amount of money and stress I’ve put Into Idk If I will truly feel relaxed In this still not sure if I hate It or not I know I’m very very stuck In It!
Zack, LS F Sport version here. Outstanding my friend! World class review and personal vignette that made it all the more meaningful, thank you!
In showing restraint, you exercised great humility and maturity. That’s personally more empowering than a punch in the face would have been!👍🏻
Unfortunately this Lexus Is a huge disappointment compared to previous ones. The engine is loud. The interior is cramped. No rear toe space. The ride is not as good as previous generation. It’s a shake because the exterior and interior look amazing. Especially with the kirko glass
I came here looking for a car review and I actually learned a life lesson.
The calmest me watching
Such a calm intro. lol
The air vent on top of the front tires, I wish they would’ve made that chrome.
13:14 I hope so for my sake 🤣
you don't need to be to calm brothrr its still a lexas ls500h
i appreciate your happy nature in your reviews
A 115,000 car. You probably drive a clapped out Chevy cobalt.
For ride, safety and more pot hole protection I much prefer the smaller wheels over the typical Hot Wheel wagon wheels so many are using nowadays. 1mpg difference to me isnt worth it, and Im not a fan of the big wheel look either. If they used 18s Id even like it more. Just my opinion.
Looks like this lives up to the LS name of the original. I wonder will it have the same long term reliability?
Das Beste Auto der Welt ❤
😂 wife gf and side chick that was a good one, I like this review
You said the backseats were not massaging, but I think you were incorrect about that.
0:57 wow
Toyota Pickup video too intense for ya? You've reached the other side of the the Zach mindfulness spectrum.
that took a weird turn...
It’s really pretty car apart from the cost my only complaint and that’s with all new car seats why must they be rock hard? Why can’t we have comfy Lexus seats like the 90s?
I may buy this. A used gas one of course.
Never got the point of having/building a performance luxury car. A luxury car should be such a nice place to be you would want to go as slow as possible to make the trip last longer.
As I was once told the greatest luxury is to count time in moments instead of minutes.
Ultimate Luxury
Mercedes! 😂
I wish I could afford this car along with a driver so I can enjoy that back seat and destress.
114000 is pretty crazy for this imo
A car so relaxing that fuel economy is a none issue 😑... NAMASTE 🙏
Much better than you put together mercedes, bmw and audi.
DA W🤬RST LS SERIES EVER
I prefer the loud Zack better.
Zack, this is your kind of car when you're middle aged+
