Lexus LS
The LS is a full-size luxury sedan that was designed to take on German and American competitors, but with just 39 units sold in Canada in 2022, it has become a mere afterthought. Highlights include exceptional comfort levels and build quality, as well as a turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 that delivers 416 horsepower in LS 500 trim. A 354-horsepower hybrid system featuring the same V6 and an odd combination of a CVT and four-speed autobox is found in the LS 500h.
