2007-2008 Lexus LS: Year-to-Year Changes

2008 Lexus LS: Not long after the appearance of the redesigned LS 460 and LS 460 L, a hybrid (gasoline/electric) version of the flagship sedan debuted as a 2008 model. Named LS 600h L and initially priced at a whopping $104,000, the hybrid sedan contained a 389-horspower, 5.0-liter V8 and two motor generators, for total output of 438 hp. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) was used, and an air suspension was standard. So were the Rear Seat Upgrade Package and navigation system. The Executive Class Seating Package was optional. Also for 2008, the LS 460 L could get a suspension package, and the Touring Package added a sport-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension.
