First Impressions 2008 Lexus LS600h L
The 2008 LS600h is an important vehicle to Lexus for the sedan market segment. The L is a member of a series of one trim levels for the LS600h which include L. The four-door car with its all-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Lexus. There is strong competition from vehicles from Acura.
Performance
The LS600h L is equipped with a Toyota 5.0 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.
The fuel system for the 2008 LS600h is a SFI design, running on ELECTRIC/GAS fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 22.20 gallons.
The LS600h uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses air and air springs front and rear respectively.
LS600h L Statistics
The dimensions of the LS600h L are 73.80 inches wide by 202.80 inches long. It sits a comfortable 58.30 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 121.70 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $104,000 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $90,480. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.
The standard warranty period for the LS600h is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.
Fuel Efficiency
The LS600h L received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty in-city driving and twenty two when it came to long-distance. Being a electric/gas-powered hybrid car, this was subpar.
In Summary
The 2007 model began the promise of the Lexus LS600h. The 2008 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Lexus hopes that the LS600h L will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
