How the Lexus LS 460 Compares With Its Competitors

Pricing, power, fuel economy, and drivetrain help define the differences among full-size luxury sedans. The 2012 Lexus LS 460 starts at $69,935, and MSRP excludes tax, title, registration and dealer fees.

The Lexus uses all-wheel drive and requires premium unleaded fuel, while the Panamera offers rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; buyers may weigh the Lexus’s standard drivetrain configuration against the Porsche’s broader power range and drivetrain choice.

The 2012 Cadillac CTS-V starts at $63,215 and makes 556 hp, compared with the LS 460’s $69,935 starting MSRP and 357 hp.

The 2012 Audi A8 starts at $78,750 and produces 372 hp, compared with the LS 460’s $69,935 starting MSRP and 357 hp.
