What's New in the 2022 Lexus LS 500h?
Lexus pretty much left the LS alone for 2020. The LS 500 will offer a limited-run (300 units) Inspiration Series that will include semi-aniline leather interior, black instrument panel and carpet, blue LED Kiriko-design passenger display, 23-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system and 20-in black alloy wheels.

Which LS 500h is the Best?
You definitely don't "need" anything beyond the base trim level, which is exceptionally well equipped. However, the F Sport package would be good to consider if you're seeking the most involved driving experience, while one of the interior upgrade packages will be good if you plan on pampering guests (or being pampered yourself) in the backseat.
