2009 Lexus LS 460
The 2009 Lexus LS 460 Overview
The 2009 Lexus LS 460 is a refined and comfortable luxury sedan that features superior technology and a luxurious interior cabin. The LS 460 now comes with AWD or RWD options for optimal traction and road-holding ability, as well as a long-wheelbase version (the LS 460L), which extends the midsection of the vehicle by about 5 inches for greater rear legroom.
The Lexus LS 460 is powered by an impressive 4.6-liter V8 engine that produces 380 horsepower and 367 pound-feet of torque, which is paired with a nearly silent eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control in order to achieve a very respectable 0-60 MPH margin of 5.8 seconds. The 2009 Lexus LS 460 has an estimated fuel economy rated at 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 19 mpg in combined driving, which is very good for a large performance sedan.
The Lexus engineers do not spare on any detail, especially in regards to safety in their luxury performance sedans. The LS 460 is equipped with antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, front-seat knee airbags and optional rear-seat side airbags. Another safety option available with the vehicle is a pre-collision system (PCS) that comes packaged with adaptive cruise control, which uses a radar sensor to detect obstacles in front of the car. If the computer determines that a collision is inevitable, it pre-emptively stiffens the suspension, provides pretension in the front seatbelts and initializes brake assist so increased braking can be applied the instant the brake pedal is pressed.
In keeping with Lexus tradition, the LS 460 sports a luxurious and well-crafted cabin. The spacious interior has room enough for five adults, and the genuine wood and aluminum trim as well as the rich leather seating offers a plush and comfortable feel.
Overall, the 2009 Lexus LS 460 is a top-of-the-line luxury performance sedan that is perfect for your daily commute!
