For those seeking to add more exclusivity to their car, the Lexus LS can be had with the optional Kiriko Glass package that adds hand-folded pleats and the signature handcrafted Kiriko glass to the door trim, giving the LS an even more upmarket appeal. That said, the Kiriko Glass is an eye-watering RM98,000 tickbox – enough to buy a Honda City. Because the Kiriko Glass and pleated fabric are handcrafted, Lexus can only accomodate to produce 60 units of Kiriko package-equipped LS per month globally.
Buyers of the all-new Lexus LS can choose between 11 exterior colours and 6 interior colours, depending on variant.
The all-new Lexus LS comes fully-imported from Lexus’ production facility in Tahara, Japan and is backed by Lexus Malaysia’s 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
