FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Lexus LS Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The hybrid-powered LS 500h costs so much more than its non-hybrid brethren that it had better have some impressive talking points, right? We struggled to find any. The hybrid's highway fuel economy is 29 mpg, same as the base non-hybrid LS 500. Should we compare the hybrid to the LS 500 AWD, since the former comes standard with all-wheel drive? Okay — now the LS 500h wins by 2 mpg. City fuel economy (always a hybrid strength) is significantly improved, but overall, you're not gaining much MPG, especially given that you're paying a $30k-plus premium. Oh, and the hybrid is slower, too. We don't get it.
The 2024 LS Hybrid is offered in just one mechanical configuration. Hit the link or button to read our editorial summary and see detailed specs.
