1994 Lexus LS Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
After substantial revision in the prior year, minor trim redesigns were the only changes to the LS 400 for 1994. This was the last year of the LS 400's first generation, and a larger, more powerful version would arrive in 1995. The LS had been a remarkable success for Lexus by its fifth year, offering a unique combination of luxury, reliability, and power. Although the price had continued to creep upward, the Lexus was still considerably more affordable than many of its European competitors. The engine was essentially the same as it would be in following years, but 1994 was the last before horsepower and torque boosts. For now, horsepower remained at 250, and torque at 260 pound feet. The LS certainly didn't guzzle gas, but efficiency of 18/23 mpg and the need for premium fuel combined for a rather high cost of operation. The arrival of new sportier Lexus models like the SC coupe and GS sedan had lifted some of the pressure to perform off the LS, but the flagship was still offered with an adjustable suspension system that could be tweeked for more road feel. While the LS 400 was somehow criticized for its lack of driving thrills, well-informed buyers knew what they were getting. In addition to its luxury amenities and reliability, the LS was one of the smoothest and quietest sedans that had ever been made in 1994. Many reviewers felt that exterior styling could use a facelift, after five years of the same, and Lexus would respond with a new generation of LS in 1995.

My first Lexus. It re-defined Luxury in a Sedan. I was shocked at it's performance from a dead stop and a rolling start of 20 mph. It was a 10! It was amazing how Quite the car was. AWESOME VEHICLE!Nov 24, 2013

This is a classic lexus - they are great cars - they run forever - your mx costs are sometimes hign, but the ability of the internet to provide both parts and repairs to parts that you thought unfixable is amazing - had entire dashboard instrument panel "rebuilt" through an internet vendor - microsurgery on all the capacitors - amazing - same thing with the on board computer - it died - and a guy in Miami tore it down and repaired it - $300 vs $3000 for that part.
So - as it ages it actually gets easier to find parts/repairs.Jul 15, 2012

I've owned my car since 1995 (2nd owner). It has served me well over the years. As the car gets to be about 10 years old, of course, expect more expensive repairs. I don't regret buying this Lexus. If you like this year's look (one of the more handsome older styles), and you can find one that has been taken care of, it would be an investment. Of course, gas mileage these days is a consideration, however, I would still buy a new larger lexus if it was in my budget. - JRPOct 22, 2009

Its a hallmark of reliability and perfection. Smooth, yet controlled. Amazing engine, which is not noticeable until unless you see the tacho meter. Being in UAE, it has become a fact that it has the cheapest parts available in market, even much cheaper than compact economy cars.Jun 24, 2009

I like driving it, umm what else can I say, it hasn't broken down, it's kind of fast but it would be faster if I put premium in it, but that would cost too much and it's not worth it. I hope someone doesn't break into it when I park downtown.Sep 11, 2008

This car runs the smoothest of all the ones I drove. Whenever you accelerate and it changes gears, you can't hear it. You can't feel it. It just goes! Its also very comfortable. This car can carry loads of gas and has decent miles per gallon. Jun 27, 2008

Dash lighting doesn't work. Sometimes my gas gage and speedometer don't work. Have had some mystery problems that I have had to research to tell the mechanic what is actually wrong with the car.Jun 10, 2008

When these cars were launched in the UK in the 90's I fell in love.
15 years on, I have the opportunity of owning one.
Lexus. The luxury version of Toyota. But who cares? This beast from the east, for me at least, seriously beats Merc, Jag & BMW all the way.
I used to work for a local Merc dealer, and only the very, VERY high-end spec cars came as standard with what this does.
Electric seats with memory, air con, cruise, alarm, 6-disc multi changer, hand stitched leather seats. The list is quite long.
'Mags', as we named her, had 130,000 miles on her, and it does not show one iota. The smell of leather was there when you open the doors, The V8 engine and auto 'box are silky smooth. No dents, dinks, rust or tiredness showed.
My only small gripes are the seats. Not all that fantastic to sit in, and on a long journey, you'll probably have to stop for a stretch, but saying that, with the cruise on and the I.C.E. (which is PHENOMENAL) who'd want to get out of the car?
The steering's not a tight as I'd like, but these things are made for silent comfort, not speed. And when I say silent, I mean silent.
Little to no road noise, the engine at tick over has yet to fail to elect a smile from me. You can just about tell it's running.
Even though this is a heavy and long car (it sometimes JUST to say fits in a normal car park space) it still returns a decent 20-25mpg round town and 30+mpg on motorways.Dec 01, 2007

Dash lights may start to flicker and eventualy stay on if the ride is long enough. On occasion the dash lights will be on but go off when headlights are turned on. Fuses are good

Lexus Trouble
Lexus wont accelerate. Just Revs. First started acting up months ago when i was at a red light the car powered off while idling. Started it right back up and drove home. Two weeks later I had gas light on, i know i know its terrible, it was so late at night and i had been driving so long, and the light had just come on, so i drove the few blocks to my house and figured i would get gas asap when i drove again. Actuality i let it sit for two weeks and it just so happened it was the hottest two weeks of summer, when i finally drove it it was slow to accelerate so i went straight to gas station and filled it up with the usual premium gas. It started accelerating fine and i was off on the freeway. I started smelling a burning smell, not oil because i know that smell. It i hard to describe but it was pungent like either gas or electrical but it went away shortly after. Car drove fine for 2 more weeks and then one day it turned off when i got on freeway about 6 minutes after starting it. Code said MAF sensor so replaced it and drove cool for 2 freeway trips 30 miles each way. Then check engine came back on and car would shut off and on randomly again. The mechanic said it could be air control valve or spark plugs or ignition coils so we did a tune up and replaced all of them including oil change. Car never improved from symptoms of low to no acceleration , the check engine wouldnt read codes to the computer ( yes it was correct diagnostic computer for my car). Mechanic then stopped charging me for labor and put a fuel pump and filter but no luck. He said its time to sell. He said it may either be ECU if not that its the wiring harness, and if thats not it than transmission is bad. I said id think about it and kept car parked in driveway just starting it to move it up and down driveway, it still would take all my foot on gas to get it to move. I am very nice to my car so i hated slamming gas pedal to move it. Finally i decided to just park it in garage but by then my poor car wouldnt even start. Jumping wouldnt start it so as soon as i sprayed starter fluid it started with jump. Car wouldn't accelerate at all it seemed, it wouldnt move forward. I shifted to L which i assume stands for lowest gear and it moved forward all the way into garage, i barely had to gas if any. Ok sorry for the whole life story, any advice is appreciated . It has only 93,000 miles and is in good body condition. If i cant fix it i am wondering how low to sell for.
