Default 460L vs 500 Legroom

(Just posted this on the 4LS forum as well)

Buddy of mine and I got into an argument about this a couple days ago.

Just want to hear it from you guys, REALISTICALLY, between the 2017 Lexus LS 460L and the 2018 Lexus LS 500: Which car has more REAR seat legroom.

Not looking for the paper statistics, asking someone who has sat in and compared the legroom of these cars before.

On paper, Lexus says the 500 has more legroom, but having sat in both cars, I am 98% sure the 460L has more rear seat legroom.

Thanks in advance!

Realistically the LS 500 has more room may seem minimal but there is more room in the LS 500. This is really because the front seats (drivers seat) in the LS 460L has better room than the LS 500. Headroom and shoulder room as well as leg room is smaller for the driver in the LS 500. Like I said you mentally wont see it but there is more room. Yes, I have been in the back of my friends LS 460L so I'm comparing that experience, which I'm comparing a 2015 LS 460L.

Wow, I didn't know that. You're probably right. Thanks for your help!
