POWER OPEN/CLOSE TRUNK WITH KICK SENSOR

We can operate this feature in several ways. You can use buttons on the key fob, the trunk lid or next to the steering wheel. For added convenience when your hands are full, the open/close function can be performed by waving your foot under the rear bumper.

20-INCH WHEELS WITH MACHINED FINISH

AMBIENT LIGHTING

Soft LED illumination gently welcomes the driver and passengers within the cabin, drawing inspiration from the warm glow of traditional Japanese andon lanterns. And to further contribute to the peaceful environment, light sources under the armrest and door trim provide the appearance that the armrest is gracefully floating.

28-WAY POWER FRONT SEATS WITH MULTIFUNCTION MASSAGE

Discover the indulgent comfort of available 28-way power front seats with a massage function that closely replicates the traditional Japanese shiatsu technique. The seat-cushion extender on the front-seat edge can also extend to fully support your thighs.

POWER-RETRACTABLE BUTTERFLY HEADRESTS

The LS offers luxurious seating for every passenger. The Front and rear butterfly headrests elevate the sophisticated aesthetic of the cabin while providing superior comfort.

HAND-PLEATED TRIM

The readily accessible hand-pleated inside trim pays homage to the craft of origami by being made from a single piece of fabric. This exquisite trim started as actual origami and took four years to perfect. It is straightforward yet meticulously made. The final expression is so intricate and perfect that only human hands can fold it.
