Lexus LS460 offers more legroom

 

LEXUS Malaysia, a division of UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd, has added a new variant, the Lexus LS460, to complement its flagship LS460L model.

The LS460 sells at RM665,000 without insurance, which is about RM100,000 less than its longer wheelbase cousin, the LS460LS.

The LS460 is designed to cater for customers who demand a more personal and involved driving experience with the added seating capacity, UMW Toyota managing director Kuah Kock Heng said.

“The LS460 is a fine addition to complement the LS460L that was designed with a chauffer-driven intention,” Kuah said at the 4.6-litre car’s launch at the Lexus centre in Mutiara Damansara last week.

“Although new to the Malaysian market, having made its entry in December last year, Lexus has already sold 330 units, with 90 of them being the LS460L model.

“We hope that with the addition of this variant, the Lexus brand will be strengthened and soar to greater heights in Malaysia,” he added.

While the LS460L seats only two occupants at the rear, the LS460 can seat three in total comfort.

For the first time, the driver’s seat comes with four-way lumbar support adjustment as driver comfort is paramount to safe motoring.

Another first for the brand is the vertical adjustment range for the seats.

Powering the car is the same V8 petrol engine found in the LS460L.

This advanced engine features the world’s first electric-motor driven variable valve timing with intelligence and electronically controlled intake cam (VVT-iE).

As with all Lexus models, the LS460 comes with a three-year warranty or 100,000km together with the full range of after-sales services offered at the Lexus centre.
