Finished in the striking Manganese Luster Metallic (1K2) with a Black Semi-Aniline leather interior (LB24), this 2018 Lexus LS500h Sports Luxury (GVF50) represents one of the most technologically advanced and beautifully engineered luxury sedans produced by Lexus. When new, the LS500h Sports Luxury carried a list price in excess of $200,000, positioning it directly against the flagship offerings from Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. Combining Lexus’ renowned craftsmanship with the efficiency and performance of its sophisticated hybrid drivetrain, the LS500h delivers effortless performance, exceptional refinement and outstanding long-distance comfort.
This example was originally owned by Lexus Australia as a showcase vehicle, before being delivered new by Sydney City Lexus to its private owner in early 2019. It has travelled a genuine 77,018 kilometres from new and is supported by a complete Lexus dealer service history exclusively with Sydney City Lexus, reflecting careful ownership and meticulous maintenance throughout its life.
As the flagship Sports Luxury variant, the LS500h showcases the full breadth of Lexus’ design, engineering and technology. When new, the Sports Luxury sat at the very top of the LS range and was specified with an extensive array of luxury, comfort and safety features designed to compete directly with the finest European luxury sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series.
Power comes from Lexus’ sophisticated Multi-Stage Hybrid System, combining a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine with an advanced electric motor system, delivering smooth and responsive performance while maintaining impressive efficiency. The drivetrain provides seamless power delivery, near-silent operation in urban driving and exceptional refinement on the open road — qualities that have become hallmarks of Lexus hybrid technology.
A highlight of the Sports Luxury specification is the Rear Relaxation Package, providing electrically reclining rear seats with heating, ventilation and massage functions, together with an extending Ottoman leg rest for the rear passenger, transforming the rear cabin into a true limousine-like environment designed for long-distance comfort.
