How long is a Lexus LS 300?

There is no current Lexus model officially named the LS 300; the badge has appeared in older generations and in the hybrid LS 300h. Length varies by generation and market, so there isn’t a single fixed measurement.


In practice, full-size Lexus sedans in the LS family typically measure around five meters in length, with early generations closer to 4.95 meters and later models, especially long-wheelbase variants, pushing toward about 5.15 meters. To give you a clear sense, here are the approximate length ranges for related LS variants across generations.


Related LS variants and their approximate lengths


Below is a concise guide to how long related LS variants are, by era. The numbers are rounded estimates in millimeters and inches to help you compare sizes at a glance.



  • LS 400/LS 430 (1990s–early 2000s): roughly 4,950–5,000 mm (195–197 inches).

  • LS 460 (mid-2000s onward): roughly 5,050–5,120 mm (199–202 inches).

  • LS 600h L (late 2000s): roughly 5,150–5,180 mm (203–204 inches).

  • LS 500/LS 500h (2018–present): roughly 5,110–5,230 mm (201–206 inches).

  • LS 300h (hybrid variant, 2009–2011): roughly 4,980–5,000 mm (196–197 inches).


Note: These figures are approximate and can vary by market, trim, and optional equipment. For your exact car, consult the door jamb sticker, the owner's manual, or the official Lexus specification sheet for the precise overall length.


How to verify your specific car


To confirm the precise overall length of your Lexus LS 300 (or LS 300h), you can check the official brochure for your model year, inspect the VIN-based spec sheet supported by Lexus, or measure from bumper to bumper with the vehicle on a level surface, using the front and rear bumper edges as references. If you’re shopping, the dealer can provide the exact measurement for the exact configuration you’re considering.


Summary


The label "LS 300" does not correspond to a single, current model, so there is no universal length. Length varies by generation and market, but related LS sedans typically measure about five meters in overall length, with hybrid and long-wheelbase variants nudging beyond that range. For precise figures, refer to the specific year, model, and market literature.
