Lexus Interface Integration Launches In 2023 LS

New Setup

While the Lexus LS soldiers on into the 2023 model year largely unchanged, the luxury brand isn't exactly resting on its laurels in terms of keeping the stylish sedan up to date. In fact, the 2023 LS marks the debut of Lexus Interface Integration, which consists of a next-generation multimedia system and connected services that completely reimagine the user experience.

The Lexus Interface multimedia system utilizes a large 12.3-inch touchscreen display, and aims to present owners with a supreme connected vehicle experience. The system features the latest display including higher resolution and smartphone-like, anti-glare technology, and users can interact with it through intuitive touch and voice activation controls.

New and Intuitive

Lexus Interface incorporates a Voice Assistant available through voice activation or accessible via a button on the steering wheel. Simple phrases like "Hey Lexus" awaken the system for voice-activated commands. Developed with a human-centered approach, the Voice Assistant allows for a natural and intuitive way for guests to interact with the new multimedia system.
