The Lexus LS 600h, the full hybrid Lexus flagship, gains a range of technological and styling improvements for the 2010 model year, changes that have been unveiled for the first time at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
With redesigned seating, updated equipment, a new ECO driving mode and new brakes, the Lexus LS 600h and the long wheelbase Lexus LS 600h L achieve advances in comfort and driving dynamics.
Lexus Hybrid Drive system
The full hybrid Lexus Hybrid Drive system that powers the Lexus LS 600h has a new ECO mode, which modifies the throttle action and performance of the air conditioning system to support fuel-efficient driving.
The relationship between movement of the accelerator pedal and system output is automatically controlled, reducing response to aggressive inputs to improve fuel economy and promote smoother driving. The load on the engine is also reduced under acceleration, which also helps improve fuel efficiency.
When the outside temperature is 20°C or higher, the air conditioning system automatically selects its air recirculation mode to reduce power consumption. The blower airflow is reduced when set to “high” and operation of the supplementary electrical heating system (the PTcompact heater) is stopped, further cutting the amount of power used. Also, the system will not signal for an increase in engine speed to boost power when the vehicle is at idle.
Repackaging of the full hybrid system’s battery into two sections of six and 14 modules has reduced its overall size and freed up more luggage space in the boot.

It looks like a Avalon now. I feel depressed about the design of this car, I was about to trade my 05 760li as a down payment for a lexus LS until I heard they were doing a refresh model so I waited, and this is disappointing. I’m just gonna trade my as a down payment on the new 2010 S550 benz, or wait for the new XJ (long wheel base) to become available, and get that instead. But Im not with this lexus, its not what I was expecting.

What is happening at lexus????
First they copy the i-drive and make the navigation uncontrolable in the RX. Then they create the HS one of the ugliest car in the word. And now they down the GS and LS.
I have to agree with punchthedog, it looks like a cheap, crap, plastik Toyota.
The LS lost her elegance, authority and personality with that “face lift”
I’m really disappointed in Lexus.
Rest in peace!
