The LS 600h L is the flagship model for the Lexus model line, and it also serves as a halo vehicle of sorts for hybrid believers who want to be seen inside a very green yet very luxurious vehicle. Instead of offering a V-12 engine at the top of the lineup for its LS sedan—as Mercedes-Benz does with its S-Class, or BMW with its 7-Series, for instance—Lexus combines a 5. 0-liter V-8 and a hybrid drive system, altogether making 438 horsepower. A special hybrid system supplements the gasoline engine when needed, and captures energy when decelerating or braking, storing it in a battery pack. Overall, because it's several hundred pounds heavier, the LS 600h doesn't move any faster than the LS 460. But does feel especially responsive when you need a quick burst of power for passing, and fuel economy is superb, at 20 mpg city, 22 highway. With the adaptive suspension in the LS 600h L—featuring three modes, Comfort, Power, and Sport—the big sedan can corner quite well, but the driving experience remains very detached—mainly due to the rather numb steering response.
