September 26, 2025 – Lexus has officially unveiled the LS 500 AWD Heritage Edition 2026, a special and limited edition that says goodbye to one of the most iconic luxury sedans on the market.
With a production that is limited to only 250 units in the United States, the model is offered in a single configuration (Mono Spec), with an exclusive design, advanced technological functions and a tribute to the car that the brand launched more than three decades ago.
The recommended starting price is 99.280 USD (including delivery, processing and treatment costs), and the first copies are expected this fall at the dealers.
Tribute to tradition
For the first time introduced in 1989, the Lexus LS redeemed the concept of the luxury sedan by combining refinement, innovation and comfort. Now, in its last edition, the brand brings an ode to the legacy of the model with the exclusive color Ninety Noir, a deep and refined black color, combined with a lively and elegant Rioja Red Interieur.
Visual highlights include the 20-inch alloy wheels with a dark metal finish, which reinforce the imposing presence of the sedan. The interior gets unique details such as the engraved “Heritage Edition” emblem on the center console and special embroidery on the headrests.
Increased luxury and advanced technology
The model is equipped as standard with a panoramic glass roof, Panoramic View monitor (PVM), Laser Special Black wood finish, Ultrasuede® roof coverings, Mark Levinson® sound system with 23 speakers and 2400 Watt, as well as heated rear seats and Advanced Park system.
The technology package also includes the new Lexus interface with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto ™, as well as connected functions such as Drive Connect, the intelligent assistant “Hey Lexus”, digital key and maintenance packages for a maximum of 5 years.
Impressive performance
Under the hood, the LS 500 AWD Heritage Edition has the well-known 3.4-liter V6 Biturbo engine with a power of 416 hp and 442 LB-FT torque, linked to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The sedan accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, with four -wheel drive and a Torsen Middiferential for more stability and grip.
The driver can choose from different driving modes, including Eco, Comfort, Normal, Custom, Sport S and Sport S+, which guarantees a personalized driving experience that combines performance and flexibility.
The end of an era
With the arrival of the LS 500 AWD Heritage Edition 2026, Lexus closes an important chapter in its history and celebrates 36 years of innovation and refined luxury. The LS is more than a car, it is a cultural and technological icon, symbol for the dedication of the Japanese brand of excellence.
