2004 Lexus LS430 Luxury Sedan in Mercury metallic exterior on Premium perforated Ecru Leather interior. Lexus gives the LS 430 a midcycle freshening for 2004. Along with mild exterior revisions, the LS gets a number of new standard features, including a new six-speed sequential shift automatic transmission that replaces the five-speed unit for 2004, enhancing both performance and shifting smoothness. Revised gear ratios that take advantage of the additional gear contribute to improved acceleration and lower cruising noise levels, without sacrificing fuel economy. The new transmission backs the LS430s powerful 4.3-liter V8 engine, providing acceleration from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds, compared to 6.3 seconds for the 2003 model. The sequential-shift feature allows manual shifting for greater response and driver control. New monotube shock absorbers contribute to fluid cornering responses and provide an even smoother ride. The available sport suspension features 18-inch wheels for the first time, with 245/45R18 low-profile tires for sharper handling and better road feel. All LS430s benefit from improvements in the steering gear and brake system, adaptive headlights that swivel during turning maneuvers, knee airbags for the driver and front passenger and a moonroof. Among the other highlights are SmartAccess, which allows the driver to start up the LS without inserting a key; and a rear backup camera, expanded voice recognition functionality and Bluetooth hands-free phone compatibility on vehicles with the navigation system. An upgraded Mark Levinson stereo now offers seating position-optimized sound, and satellite radio is a new dealer-installed option. A boldly restyled front and rear fascia give the LS430 a more aggressive, substantial appearance. Five new exterior colors include a new silver called Mercury Metallic that benefits from a special multi-step paint process. Newly exposed dual exhaust tailpipes hint at the sharpened all-around performance.

The LS 430's safety features include four-channel antilock brakes with Brake Assist, Vehicle Skid Control, and advanced variable-force airbags and side curtain front and rear airbags. Sensors determine the force with which to deploy the front airbags in an effort to reduce the chance of airbag-related injuries. Front seats and rear outboard seats are equipped with seatbelt pre-tensioners with force limiters.

The introduction of the latest Lexus flagship sedan follows the report that the LS430 was the most problem-free vehicle by J.D. Power and Associates' 2003 Initial Quality Study for the seventh consecutive year. Just as significant, Lexus' premium luxury sedan was reported to be the most problem-free car after three years of ownership for the ninth consecutive year.
