How much does a Lexus LS 460 weight?
A Lexus LS 460's curb weight is typically around 4,200–4,450 pounds for the standard short-wheelbase version, about 4,600–4,900 pounds for the long-wheelbase LS 460L, and all-wheel-drive variants add roughly 250–350 pounds on top of those figures.
Weight can vary by model year, trim level, and optional equipment. In this article, we break down common configurations and the primary factors that influence an LS 460’s weight, so readers can estimate what a given car might weigh on the road or in a spec sheet.
Weight ranges by configuration
Below are typical curb-weight ranges for common LS 460 configurations based on manufacturer data and widely observed spec figures.
- Short-wheelbase LS 460 (rear-wheel drive): approximately 4,200–4,450 lb (1,905–2,020 kg)
- LS 460L long-wheelbase (rear-wheel drive): approximately 4,600–4,900 lb (2,090–2,225 kg)
- All-wheel-drive variants: add about 250–350 lb (110–160 kg) to the corresponding RWD figure
These ranges reflect typical configurations across several model years; exact curb weight for a specific vehicle depends on year, trim, and options.
Other factors that affect weight
Several elements beyond wheelbase and drivetrain can shift a LS 460’s weight by a few hundred pounds in practice.
- Model year and generation: changes in materials and construction can alter curb weight modestly from year to year
- Optional equipment and packages: panoramic sunroof, premium audio, upgraded seating, and safety tech can add weight
- Fuel level and fluids: curb weight is measured with a full tank; in-use weight varies with fuel, coolant, oil, and other fluids
- Interior materials and accessories: heavier leather, wood trims, or additional insulation can contribute to weight differences
- Aftermarket modifications: non-factory parts or accessories can increase overall mass
For the most precise figure, consult the vehicle’s official spec sheet or the door placard on the specific car, since weight can differ by year, market, and installed equipment.
Summary
In short, the LS 460’s weight depends on configuration: roughly 4,200–4,450 pounds for the standard short-wheelbase version, about 4,600–4,900 pounds for the long-wheelbase LS 460L, and an extra 250–350 pounds added by AWD variants. Real-world weight varies with options, year, and market, so verifying the exact figure on the vehicle’s documentation is always best.
