For the 2026 model year, Lexus has narrowed its flagship luxury sedan’s lineup to a single trim. However, the limited-production LS 500 Heritage Edition has a number of special exterior and interior details to draw your attention. With only 250 units being offered, it’s bound to be a hot commodity. Last year’s available hybrid powertrain was discontinued.
When first seeing the new LS 500 Heritage Edition, you will immediately notice its distinctive Ninety Noir paint. Darkened exterior finishes give the sedan an even more striking appearance. Meanwhile, an exclusive set of 20-inch alloy wheels finished in Dark Gray Metallic promotes an aggressive stance.
On the inside, a signature Heritage Edition badge on the center console and Rioja Red semi-aniline leather upholstery with embroidered headrests further enhance the car’s exclusivity. Luxurious amenities, such as 28-way power-adjustable massaging front seats, enable you to truly unwind. Notable tech features include a customizable digital gauge cluster, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, and a captivating Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound audio system with 23 speakers.
Under the hood rests a twin-turbo V6 engine, which pushes out an entertaining 416 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission helps you experience powerful yet smooth acceleration. Lexus estimates a quick 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds. All-wheel drive comes standard. To aid the sedan’s traction and cornering capabilities, Lexus equips it with a Torsen limited-slip center differential.
Whether you’re driving through the city or coasting along the highway, the Lexus LS will keep you safe. Just a few of its standard driver-assistance features include a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and a Blind-Spot Monitor.
