Lexus has introduced two performance models of its 2015 LS full-size luxury sedan, as well as revamping the infotainment system of the vehicle.
The 2015 model year’s biggest update is the upgraded infotainment system. The navigation system can help the driver reach his or her destination with up to date and predictive traffic information including a detour preview option. Another feature points out nearby fueling stations once the car hits a low level of gas. For smartphone users, Lexus updated the LS to feature more Enform App Suite functions, including control of the door locks, the ignition and the climate control within the app.

Lexus is offering two models from the LS series. The LS 460 comes in a regular and long-wheelbase version, each with the further choice of rear-wheel drive or all-weather drive. The model is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 engine which reaches up to 386 horsepower and has an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The LS 600h L hybrid features 5-liter V8 engine along with electric motor, when combined can provide up to 438 horsepower.
A new safety feature for passengers is the Advanced Pre-Collision System with Collision Avoidance Assist in its drivers-assist technology which is capably of automatically bringing the LS to a full stop to prevent crashes.
The 2015 Lexus LS Series will arrive at dealerships in November.
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
