Lexus debuted the fifth-generation LS (XF50) for the 2018 model year, representing a major departure from its predecessors. Built on the new GA-L platform shared with the LC coupe, it swapped conservative styling for a bold, fastback-like design. The long-serving V8 was also retired in favor of a new 416 hp 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 in the LS 500 and a Multi Stage Hybrid system in the LS 500h.
While still a modern used car, the XF50 is appreciated for its blend of dramatic styling, advanced technology, and traditional Lexus reliability. It's a flagship luxury sedan that offers a unique ownership experience, especially with interior options like Kiriko glass and hand-pleated door fabric. Buyers seeking a comfortable, well-built luxury car without the maintenance costs of German rivals find the LS 500 very appealing.
Having experienced most of its initial depreciation, the 5th-gen LS market has stabilized, making it a strong value proposition. Early 2018-2021 models trade actively, with prices dictated by model year, mileage, and options packages. The F Sport and models with the Executive Package tend to command higher prices.
Buying Tips
- The twin-turbo V6 in the LS 500 is generally preferred for its strong performance over the more complex LS 500h hybrid.
- Check the infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became available on late-2019 models and are a significant upgrade. The 2021 refresh introduced a much-improved touchscreen.
- Test the optional air suspension thoroughly. Cycle through all height settings and listen for noises from the compressor, as out-of-warranty repairs are costly.
- A complete service history is non-negotiable. These are complex cars, and records from a Lexus dealer or certified specialist are essential for verifying proper maintenance.
- Look for cars with desirable options like the Mark Levinson sound system or the Executive Package, as they greatly enhance the ownership experience and resale value.
Based on recent sales, prices for 2018-2021 models range from around $29,000 for higher-mileage examples to $60,000 for newer, low-mile cars.
