L.A. West Luxury Bus LX-28
With more than 30 years as a leader in bespoke luxury transportation—serving executives, celebrities, athletes, and elite clients—L.A. West now brings that same excellence to larger-scale luxury vehicles. This includes enhanced vehicles suitable for corporate fleets, high-end shuttle services, premium group travel, and executive transport, featuring a capacity of 23 passengers with superior comfort and customization.
At the heart of this expansion is L.A. West's unified ownership model: comprehensive warranty coverage (5-year/100,000-mile) and single-point service support that simplifies the experience and provides total confidence.
Key standard features reflect L.A. West's dedication to combining cutting-edge innovation with uncompromising quality and owner-focused support, which includes:
- Fully Welded Aluminized-Steel Safety Cage: Continuous welded tube construction using aluminized steel for enhanced corrosion protection and long-term structural strength.
- All-Composite Interior and Exterior Construction: No wood anywhere in the vehicle. Composite interior panels resist moisture, help prevent mold, and maintain structural integrity. All-composite fiberglass exterior sidewalls offer superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional aluminum construction.
- Panoramic Frameless Windows: Enhanced visibility combined with a refined, modern exterior presence.
- Plug-Style Entry Door: Smooth, reliable operation that delivers a premium experience.
- Starlink Connectivity on Board: High-speed satellite internet capability provides dependable connectivity in urban, rural, and remote environments.
- Full LED Interior and Exterior Lighting: Energy-efficient, long-life lighting throughout the vehicle reduces maintenance while enhancing visibility and overall aesthetics.
- Luxury Heated Passenger Seating with USB-C Charging: Premium heated seating designed for comfort in all climates, with convenient USB-C charging ports at every seat to support today’s connected passengers.
“For L.A. West, the move marks an important milestone in the brand’s continued evolution,” says President of Forest River Bus & Van Douglas Wright. “Entering the luxury bus market is a natural progression for L.A. West. Our core philosophy remains unchanged: build vehicles to the highest standards of engineering and quality and deliver exceptional support our customers can rely on throughout their ownership experience. This expansion allows us to serve a broader clientele while staying true to the commitment to excellence that has defined the brand for decades.”
Every L.A. West vehicle is designed, engineered, and assembled in the United States, built to the craftsmanship and performance standards of Forest River, a Berkshire Hathaway company recognized worldwide for its enduring strength and stability.
