Full 2010 Lexus LS 600h L Review
What's New for 2010
For 2010, the Lexus LS 600h L gets a mild styling refresh (new grille, bumpers and taillights) and updated electronics, including iPod connectivity and streaming Bluetooth audio. A couple of formerly optional features become standard this year, including the Cold Weather package and the Advanced Parking Guidance System. Also standard are the new Safety Connect and Lexus Enform telematics services. Finally, Lexus has repackaged the hybrid battery pack to free up a couple of extra cubic feet of trunk space.
Introduction
Kind of like that beer that claims to taste great yet be less filling, a flagship luxury sedan with a powerful hybrid powertrain would seem to be the best of both worlds. With the 2010 Lexus LS 600h L, Lexus makes the claim of V12 performance with V8 fuel economy. But unfortunately, our real-world experience has proven otherwise, as the 600h L has a mere 2 mpg advantage (EPA combined average) while its performance, though strong, is virtually the same as the V8-powered LS 460 L.
