The car that started it all for Lexus is about to be retired in its key market, with a final run of limited editions set to see out the current-generation LS limousine in the US.

Lexus USA has announced the 2026 LS500 AWD Heritage Edition, a “final year tribute” to the nameplate that launched the Japanese luxury marque 36 years ago.

Limited to just 250 units in the US, the Lexus LS500 AWD Heritage Edition is headlined by a new Lexus-first exterior paint colour, Ninety Noir, as well as an LS-first interior finish called Rioja Red.

Other specification highlights include 20-inch alloy wheels in Dark Gray Metallic, and an LS Heritage Edition emblem on the centre console as well as on the head restraints.
