The Lexus LS is a full-size luxury sedan that launched Toyota's Lexus brand in 1989 as the LS 400, built deliberately to challenge the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series on refinement and quality at a lower price. Its debut is widely credited with reshaping expectations for build quality and quietness in the luxury sedan segment, forcing established European manufacturers to respond.
