Hi all:
Well Ive been thinking about getting a new car as I now have my 2 year old full time and need a 4 door. Ive been looking at the LS400s. Ive looked aroundthe site and cant find an area that would be a model faq or sometype. what I want to know is model diffrences between years/generations, options etc etc etc.

Would appreciate any info directing me to that.

Thanks

 

Here's some basic info/comparison between the generations:

You can thanks LexLS.

 

This is great - I was looking for something along these lines when I was shopping for my car also.

 

Try Edmunds.com. Go to the used car section, pull up the LS year you want and get into the Research section. They usually have a discussion about what features are new for that year.

 

well here are the basics.......

90-92.....UCF10...250HP 260TQ
93-94.....UCF11...SAME HP AND TQ BUT MINOR STYLING CHANGES, ALSO A SPECIAL EDITION WAS AVAILABLE IN 94 WITH DIFFERENT STYLED RIMS (ONLY IN PEARL WHITE)
95-97.....UCF20..ALL NEW CAR FOR 95 WITH 260HP AND 270TQ, LEXUS ADDED SIDEAIRBAGS, ENGINE IMMOBILIZER, AND EXTRA POWER OUTLET INSIDE THE CENTER CONSOLE FOR 97, ALSO COACH EDITION WAS AVAILABLE IN 97.
98-00....UCF21...290HP...300TQ, WITH MAJOR STYLING CHANGES, ADDED TRIP COMPUTER, NAV, HID, AND A SIGNATURE SERIES WAS AVAILABLE IN THE 00 WITH MONOTONE PAINT.
01-03...UCF30...ALL NEW CAR WITH THE SAME HP AND TQ RATINGS WITH A NEW ENGINE (3UZFE).
04-PRESENT....UCF31...SAME HP AND TQ RATINGS, BUT MAJOR STYLING CHANGES.

 

The info on this site is great! It seriously helped me in determining which generation LS to buy. I ended up getting a 95' after narrowing down the differences and realizing that the 95'-97' would best fit my budget and get me the most for it. I was so apperciative that I even paypaled the guy a couple bucks after buying my car.

 

on the 98 ls400 they have the WRONG interior.

 

really?



seems fine to me

 

My 99 looks exactly like that.

 

Lex LS's engine bay shot shows a discrepancy..

i have a UCF10 and my engine bay looks like the UCF11's... the coolant resivoirs are different..

weird.
