Lexus LS Engines and Transmissions

The second-generation Lexus LS engine is a gasoline V8, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. This powertrain delivers smooth acceleration suited to relaxed everyday driving, though fuel consumption needs budgeting for. On a test drive, check for a steady idle and smooth shifts under both light and firmer acceleration.
