The new representative of the family of luxury sedans Lexus LS600hL (XF40) was presented in Russia in 2007. The long version is distinguished by a wheelbase of 3.09 m (2.7 m for the LS600h). In terms of design, the Lexus LS600hL is the latest incarnation of the Lexus L-finesse philosophy. The direction of this design is determined by bright, powerful and, at the same time, elegant features. The long interior, clear and swift lines of the wide body emphasize the simplicity and style of the flagship Lexus. As befits a luxurious and representative car, Lexus LS600hL has excellent sound insulation. Only high-quality materials that have passed the strictest selection have been used in the cabin. The car is unique in its own way, since it became the first luxury hybrid car in the world. In addition, the machines for the first time in the world are staffed with spotlight LED headlights with three lenses. After the second restyling (2012), an updated version of the sedan was presented for Russian buyers. In the Premium package, the car offers alloy wheels with 245/45 R19 tires, fully LED optics, an intelligent keyless entry and start system, electric steering column and front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, dynamic interior lighting, rear door closers . The seat upholstery is made of semi-aniline leather, the ceiling and other interior elements are upholstered in Alcantara. For the convenience of the rear passengers, there is an armrest with an audio control unit and climate control. Four-zone climate control will provide individual comfort for each passenger, and the Exclusive package also has a ceiling-mounted infrared sensor for the climate control system that monitors the body temperature of passengers in the second-row seats and corrects airflow; in addition, the top version offers a right rear seat with adjustable support for legs deflecting 45 degrees back, massage function. In this configuration, the salon can be 5-seater or 4-seater, in the latter case, the center console is also equipped with a folding table.

 The latest Lexus LS600hL hybrid drive system uniquely combines unrivaled power with high environmental friendliness. The output of the 5.0-liter V8 engine is 394 hp. (290 kW), electric motor - 224 hp (165 kW), and the total total power of the system is 445 hp. (327 kW). Combined fuel consumption is the best among classmates - only 9.3 l / 100 km (this corresponds to the average for cars with a 6-cylinder engine). The Lexus LS600hL is the world's first permanent all-wheel drive hybrid car. The transmission has three differentials and an engine shaft connected directly to the hybrid transmission. The TORSEN limited slip differential transmits 40% of the torque to the front axle and 60% to the rear axle. The torque distribution is constantly monitored and can vary from 30:70 to 50:50 on the front / rear axle, respectively.

 The front and rear suspensions of the Lexus LS600hL use new pneumatic damping elements with single-tube shock absorbers used in the advanced adjustable adaptive suspension (AVS). Based on the data received from the sensors of the body position control system, it eliminates the rolls and inclinations of the car in corners for maximum passenger comfort. The Lexus LS600hL is equipped with a powerful adaptive electric power steering (EPS) with variable gear ratio (VGRS) - a compact and lightweight steering mechanism works silently and additionally saves fuel, and depending on the speed, the steering force changes smoothly. The above devices work effectively in combination with an integrated vehicle dynamics control (VDIM) system, which also includes all types of active safety: an electro-hydraulic brake system, anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), traction control ( TRC) and Electronic Stability Program (VSC). Passive safety systems include a set of ten airbags: two front, openable in 2 stages, front knee (driver and passenger), front side, rear side, curtain type for the entire length of the cabin. In the Exclusive package, an additional pillow is installed in the rear right seat, which prevents the passenger from slipping.

 Lexus LS600hL with a long wheelbase compared to the standard LS600h offers an impressive legroom for rear passengers and the most complete set of comfort and safety features provided for the model. Therefore, it is no coincidence that this version in the Russian market, despite the higher price, causes more interest from potential buyers than a hybrid sedan with a standard wheelbase, but a used car can be purchased at a very good discount.
