Lexus LS Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2000–2003) — Third Generation
The third-generation Lexus LS is a luxury sedan with an emphasis on quiet comfort and generous cabin space. If you regularly cover long distances, its refinement is a central part of the appeal.
The third-generation Lexus LS pairs a gasoline V8 engine with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. You get smooth acceleration and ample pulling power for overtaking, although fuel consumption deserves consideration, especially in town. On a test drive, check that the transmission shifts smoothly under both gentle and firm acceleration.
