Lexus LS 460 Is The Hunt Finally Over?

While would be treasure hunters continue to seek the buried Volvo XC90 in conjunction with Pirates of the Caribbean, my personal hunt for a perfect family car could well be over. As in all treasure maps, ‘X’ marks the spot and in this case it is the ‘X’ from the fourth generation of the Lexus LS 460 on the SE-L trim.

This is an executive car that parents deserve as there precious children grow older and the need for an SUV or MPV becomes unwarranted. To find the perfect family car many boxes need to be ticked from comfort, safety, performance, that’s just for the adults, to being child friendly. So let’s be selfish here for starters, lets forget about the children just for once, put us first for a change and work out exactly what we want in a family car.

Well first up has to be street cred in looks and here, the Lexus gains plenty of brownie points along with ripples of jealousy at the school gates when other mums realise there is life after MPV’s. The LS 460 is the flagship model for Lexus, and boasts such a sleek sophisticated design that incorporates prominent wheel arches, a deep front air dam contrasting with sheer elegance of the concave and convex lines to profile, colour coded door handles and auto dimming electrically adjustable heated and folding door mirrors with the large 19” alloy wheel cementing its authenticity as an aristocratic pedigree. These cars will soon wipe the smile of the playground mafia’s faces.

Next thing we need as drivers is comfort and here the Lexus LS SE-L pulls out more punches.
