Lexus, which today unveiled their new LS 600h L luxury hybrid sedan at the NYIAS press event, also announced they will offer XM Satellite Radio as standard, factory-installed equipment on the 2007 LS 460 L and the 2008 LS 600h L luxury hybrid sedan. XM will also be available as a factory-installed feature on the 2007 LS 460 model as part of the navigation option.

The all-new fourth generation LS series will be the first Lexus models to offer factory-installed XM Satellite Radio. In addition to offering XM Satellite Radio, both the LS 460 L and the LS 600h L hybrid will be the only vehicles in the prestige luxury segment to offer XM’s real-time traffic service, XM NavTraffic.

“This launch is just the beginning for XM and Toyota as XM will be further integrated into Toyota Motor Sales vehicles,” said Hugh Panero, President and CEO of XM Satellite Radio.
