Should I Buy the 2022 Lexus LS?
The Lexus LS is less expensive than its German luxury competitors, but the Genesis G90’s starting price undercuts it a little. If you’re looking for eco-friendliness in a large luxury sedan, the LS 500h gets an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined. Lexus’ Remote Touch multimedia controller remains frustrating to use, which makes the car’s touchscreen all the more welcome.
