Does the Lexus LS have massaging seats?
Yes. In the current LS lineup, massage seats are available on many trims, primarily for the front seats, and they can also be offered in the rear when a higher-end package is chosen. Availability varies by model year and market.
Where massage seats appear in the LS lineup
Below is a guide to where Lexus has historically offered massage functionality in recent LS models, noting that exact availability depends on trim level and region.
- Front seats: Massage functions are typically offered on higher trims (such as Luxury or Ultra Luxury) or as part of optional packages; you’ll usually find multiple programs and adjustable intensity.
- Rear seats: Massage for rear passengers is available when the LS is equipped with the Executive Class Seating for the Rear or an equivalent rear-seat package, common on long-wheelbase configurations.
- Market and model-year variations: Some regions or model years place massage as standard on more trims, while others require an optional package; always check the specific build sheet for a given car.
In practice, if massage seats are important, confirm the exact configuration with the dealer and review the vehicle’s option list for your target LS.
How to verify massage seats on a specific LS
To verify whether a particular Lexus LS has massage seats, use these steps during shopping or ownership checks.
- Check the vehicle’s window sticker or the official build sheet for terms like “Massage Seats” or “Active Comfort Seats.”
- Inspect the seat controls: a dedicated “Massage” button or a massage mode in the seat adjustment panel often indicates the feature is present.
- Explore the infotainment or climate/seat menus for a Massage or Comfort menu with multiple programs and intensity settings.
- For rear seating, look for the Executive Class Seating for the Rear option, which typically includes rear-seat massage along with enhanced controls.
- Consult the owner’s manual or ask the dealer to confirm the exact package and trim that includes massage functionality.
If you want to experience it, arrange a test drive where a consultant can demonstrate the massage programs and settings on the specific LS you’re considering.
Summary
The Lexus LS can offer massaging seats, most reliably in the front on higher trims or packages and in the rear when equipped with executive seating packages. Because availability varies by model year, trim, and market, checking the exact configuration of a given car is essential for confirmation.
