Standard features include a push-button start, quad-zone automatic climate control, 28-way power-adjustable massaging front seats, heated and ventilated front seats, 18-way power-adjustable rear seats, heated rear seats, and premium leather upholstery. In fact, one of the only available options is unique Haku (thin, hand-applied metal trim) door inserts.
Technology
A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard equipment on the 2023 LS Hybrid.

It features forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-tracing assist, lane-departure warning with evasive steering assist, dynamic radar cruise control, and automatic high beams.
