Product Overview

Lexus LS 430 facelift (chassis code UCF31) is a full-size luxury sedan in production from 2003 to 2006. It was powered by a single 4.3L naturally-aspirated V8 paired to a 6-speed A761E automatic transmission.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the front and rear lights were modified. More importantly, a new 6-speed automatic transmission replaced the old 5-speed unit. This resulted in small improvement in fuel economy.
In other aspects, the car was exactly the same, it has the same 0.25 coefficient of drag to show for it.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Lexus LS430 facelift comes with double-wishbone suspensions at all four corners. This provides the good cornering performance and durability, though multi-link tends to be more tunable.
