CREATING AMAZING

NEW LEXUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

At Lexus, we don’t stop until we create amazing. Developing the all-new GS 450h

involved a relentless search to make it better in every way. Work began with a bold

new Lexus ‘face’, incorporating a distinctive spindle grille. Then we engineered

a breakthrough Lexus Hybrid Drive – that will take you from 0-100 km/h in

5.9 seconds – while using only 5.9 l/100 km of fuel on the combined cycle. The

chassis and suspension were reengineered, with optional all-wheel steering for extra

refinement. Built at the most award-winning plant on earth, the GS resets benchmarks

for comfort, craftsmanship and advanced technology. Inside, it has the world’s widest

multimedia screen, S-Flow air conditioning and class-leading driver support systems.

Also available as an F SPORT model, the new GS is an incredibly enjoyable car to

drive. To achieve this, prototypes were tested over 1.6 million kilometres; proving –

quite literally – that we don’t stop until we create amazing.

06

ARRIVE WITH PRESENCE

NEW L-FINESSE DESIGN, CLASS-LEADING AERODYNAMICS

The GS 450h sedan has been created using a bold, new version of our L-finesse

design language. Starting from scratch, our designers have given the GS a totally

new look, the focal point being its dramatic, purposeful front ‘spindle grille’. Jewel-like

headlights greatly enhance driver vision, while LED daytime running lights give it an

unmistakable aura. In profile, the car’s muscular stance contrasts with its lean waistline

and long streamlined cabin section, to give it unique presence and exceptional

roominess for up to five occupants. Underlying the powerful form, extended wheel

arches hint at superb, dynamic handling. Innovations that contribute to the car’s

class-leading aerodynamics include smooth underbody covers and closable vents on

the radiator grille, with fins on the rear lights increasing driving stability and reducing

wind noise inside the cabin.

09

ENGINEERED FOR ENJOYMENT

NEW CHASSIS, MULTI-LINK SUSPENSION

Our fourth-generation GS delivers the most engaging and pleasurable drive ever

offered by a Lexus sedan. You’ll enjoy sharp, accurate steering and excellent control

when cornering. And, on the motorway, world-class high-speed stability and Lexus

ride comfort. This advancement in performance has been achieved in a number of

ways. For a more refined and precise drive, the chassis is now stiffer and has been

totally re-engineered, while the all-new suspension includes a more compact rear

multi-link design that also greatly increases boot space. The GS 450h is equipped

with powerful ventilated disc brakes and Adaptive Variable Suspension, with leading

edge technologies such as Dynamic Rear Steering and Lexus Dynamic Handling

delivering the ultimate in driving enjoyment on the GS 450h F SPORT sedan.

11

BREAKTHROUGH FULL HYBRID PERFORMANCE, EV MODE

Benefitting from over a decade of Lexus leadership and innovation in Full Hybrid

technology, the GS 450h delivers breathtaking performance, thanks to its powerful

Lexus Hybrid Drive. Comprising a 3.5-litre V6 direct-injection Atkinson Cycle petrol

engine and a high-output electric motor, this intelligent partnership develops 345 DIN

hp. Acceleration is both smooth and incredibly rapid (100 km/h in 5.9 seconds) yet

fuel consumption has been reduced by more than 20% to 5.9 l/100 km, and CO2

emissions have dropped to 137g/km. Select EV (Electric Vehicle) mode and the

GS 450h drives in near silence, using no petrol and emitting zero CO2 or NOX.

However, this new Lexus Full Hybrid is very practical too; the hybrid battery occupies

minimum room, resulting in a generous 482 litres of boot space.

FULL HYBRID LEADERSHIP

LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE, ZERO EMISSIONS CAPABILITY

In 2004, we introduced Lexus Hybrid Drive to the world and, at present, we’re still

the only luxury car manufacturer to offer a comprehensive range of hybrid vehicles.

However, hybrid technology can vary from one car manufacturer to another.

Generally, there are two types of hybrid vehicles: mild hybrids and Full Hybrids. In

mild hybrids, the petrol or diesel engine is usually the major power source, while the

electric motor merely assists the engine. In the more advanced Full Hybrids, like the

GS 450h, the V6 combustion engine and powerful electric motor work alongside

each other, seamlessly. All Lexus hybrids not only start off using electric power alone,

but can also be driven almost silently in EV (Electric Vehicle) zero emissions mode.

At Lexus, all our hybrid vehicles are Full Hybrids.

14

START UP, DRIVING OFF

When starting off, the powerful electric motor can swiftly propel the GS 450h up to

64 km/h, with electric power supplied by the hybrid battery. At this point the vehicle

is almost silent, uses no petrol and produces zero emissions.

NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS

At speeds above 64 km/h the ultra-smooth 3.5-litre V6 direct-injection Atkinson

Cycle petrol engine cuts in, almost silently, but still receives assistance from the electric

motor when required. Through the near perfect distribution of its petrol and electric

power sources, the GS 450h provides extraordinary driving excitement – together

with low emissions and modest fuel consumption.

HOW DOES LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE WORK?


15

FULL THROTTLE ACCELERATION

Accelerate powerfully and the 200 DIN hp electric motor instantaneously

supplements the 3.5-litre 292 DIN hp V6 petrol engine. Together they deliver a

potent surge of torque to provide breathtakingly fast linear acceleration precisely

when you need it.

DECELERATION, STOPPING, BRAKING

When decelerating or coming to a halt, the petrol engine turns off, cutting emissions to

zero. Brake, or take your foot off the accelerator, and regenerative braking harnesses

the kinetic energy lost in other cars. It converts this into electrical energy for storage

in the hybrid battery, which is one reason why you never need to recharge a Lexus

Full Hybrid.


16

Drive Mode Select allows you to choose between ECO, NORMAL, SPORT S and

SPORT S+ modes, for maximising either the car’s efficiency or dynamic abilities. In

ECO mode, engine output and gear selection are adjusted to optimise fuel efficiency,

while the air-conditioning and heated seats are all intelligently controlled to further

reduce fuel consumption. Select EV (Electric Vehicle) mode and the GS 450h

provides an almost silent drive, using no petrol and emitting zero CO2 or NOX. In

EV, ECO and NORMAL modes the instruments take on a tranquil blue colour, and

the ecometer helps you to drive more efficiently.

ECO / EV MODE

DRIVE MODE SELECT

17

If you’re in a dynamic mood, select SPORT S mode and the GS 450h immediately

retunes the throttle for rapid acceleration. Available on models equipped with

Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), SPORT S+ mode combines SPORT S mode’s

enhanced powertrain output with coordinated control of AVS, Electric Power Steering

and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management for a precise and exhilarating drive.

Switching to SPORT S and SPORT S+ modes illuminates the instruments in a vibrant

red and the power indicator changes into a tachometer.

A NEW KIND OF LEXUS

INTELLIGENT AIRFLOW, ADVANCED DRIVING DYNAMICS

Developed in the world’s most advanced driving simulator, and then tested over

1.6 million kilometres around the globe, we’ve created a totally new kind of Lexus sedan.

We started by increasing the torsional rigidity of the GS 450h bodyshell by 14%, and

then perfected a new airflow management concept called ‘aerodynamic damping’,

that involves moving airflow closer to the vehicle body to enhance handling. The flow

is smoothed in and around the wheel arches, and air pressure is reduced within the

arch itself. The effect not only improves steering response, creates a flatter ride and

enhances road holding, it results in a drag coefficient of just Cd 0.26*. Together,

these improvements have produced one of the most dynamic Lexus cars ever built.

* For the Eco grade.

22

GS 450h F SPORT DYNAMIC ATTRACTION

F SPORT STYLING, 19-INCH ALLOYS, LEXUS DYNAMIC HANDLING

The new GS 450h F SPORT is unmistakably dynamic. Witness the aggressive

F SPORT front-end styling – that integrates upper and lower honeycomb grilles – the

19-inch alloy wheels with 356 mm 2-piece front brakes, and the discrete rear spoiler.

Inside, the cockpit features a 16-way driver’s sports seat; aluminium pedals, inlay panels

and scuff plates; with the steering wheel and gearshift finished in perforated leather.

Developed at the Nürburgring by the team that perfected our LFA V10 supercar,

the GS 450h F SPORT offers an incredibly precise and exciting drive. For even

more thrilling performance, an additional breakthrough is ‘Lexus Dynamic Handling’

that networks Adaptive Variable Suspension and Variable Gear Ratio Steering with

Dynamic Rear Steering and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management.

27

VISIONARY DESIGN

DRIVER FOCUSED COCKPIT, LED AMBIENT LIGHTING

The new GS 450h delivers sophisticated luxury and comfort, thanks to an ergonomic

cockpit separated clearly into Display and Operation zones to minimise driver eye

movement. Using the next-generation Remote Touch controller located conveniently

on the centre console, you can intuitively navigate high-definition maps, or enjoy

a home-theatre experience with the 17-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround

system. Attention to detail is everywhere on this impressive new Lexus. Take, for

example, the full-LED ambient white cabin lighting and precision-engineered LED

analogue clock that forms a beautiful centrepiece on the instrument panel. Or feel

the soft padded, tactile finishes of the central armrest, knee pads and door armrests

that further enhance the long-distance comfort of this car.

28

OUTER BEAUTY, INNER CALM

SPACIOUS LUXURY CABIN, 18-WAY ELECTRIC SEATS

In its capacious and tranquil cabin, the GS 450h will keep you perfectly relaxed,

even on the longest journeys. Behind the beautifully crafted steering wheel, the

sumptuous front seats – that took five years to perfect – offer up to 18-way electric

adjustments for total comfort. It also features a lower hip point, placing you closer

to the car’s centre of gravity, for a more engaging drive. Additionally, the driver’s

butterfly headrest, shoulder, side/lumbar supports and seat cushion length are all

multi-adjustable for personal preference. Meanwhile, your front seat passenger can

enjoy the luxury of an electrically extending seat cushion for enhanced thigh and

calf support. The GS is exquisitely finished too: witness the strikingly crafted details

such as satin metal trim, subtly pronounced stitching detail and precision-machined

aluminium controls of the audio system.

VISIONARY INTERIOR DESIGN

THE BIG PICTURE

WORLD’S WIDEST MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY, REMOTE TOUCH

The new GS 450h takes navigation display technology to the next level. It is equipped

with the world’s largest multimedia display – a 12.3-inch, full colour, LED screen in an

ultra-wide, 24:9 format. The screen’s size and absolute clarity allow you to display

two types of information simultaneously, such as map/audio, Lexus Night View/map

and navigation input or incoming call. Driver and front seat passenger can interact

with the display using Voice Control or second-generation Remote Touch, that

moves the pointer on the display screen just like a computer mouse. In the dark,

Lexus Night View displays an infrared image of the road ahead on the screen or, at

any time, a video image from the Parking Assist Monitor when reversing.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

33

PURE INNOVATION

3-ZONE S-FLOW AIR CONDITIONING, NANOE® TECHNOLOGY

More powerful than the previous air conditioning system, yet substantially more

energy efficient, intelligent S-Flow technology provides climate control only to those

seats that are occupied. To reduce power consumption further, external air is used to

demist the windscreen, while warmer internal air is re-circulated in the lower cabin

to reduce heat losses. Switch to ECO mode and the intelligent use of seat heaters

keeps you warm, yet reduces the overall power requirement. Another climatic

breakthrough is nanoe® technology that releases microscopic, negatively charged

nanoe® particles into the cabin. By attaching themselves to airborne particles, these

nanoe® ions help purify the cabin air and effectively deodorise seats and upholstery.

In addition, because their moisture content is approximately 1,000 times that of

conventional ions, they display a healthy moisturising effect on your skin and hair.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

34

BREATHTAKING SOUND

17-SPEAKER MARK LEVINSON® PREMIUM AUDIO

The new GS 450h can be ordered with either a 12-speaker audio system that

represents the next generation of clarity in Lexus sound, or a peerless 17-speaker

Mark Levinson® Premium Audio. Delivering 7.1-channel digital surround sound,

this top-of-the-range system provides a true live concert experience for enjoying

music and watching DVDs. The careful positioning of the speakers gives beautifully

consistent sound for both front and rear seat occupants, resulting in a whole new

level of definition, atmosphere and quality. The new Mark Levinson® digital amplifier

generates 125 Watts per channel and a total of 835 Watts, while consuming just a

quarter of the power of its predecessor. GreenEdge™ technology has also been

incorporated into each of the 17 speakers, which develop twice the sound for the

same energy consumption. For your convenience, the GS is specified with a USB

port for connecting multimedia devices, an AUX socket and a 12 V power socket.

37

PROGRESS WITH CONFIDENCE

ADVANCED PRE-CRASH SAFETY, LEXUS NIGHT VIEW

First seen on the Lexus LS flagship sedan, our award-winning Advanced Pre-Crash

Safety with Driver Monitoring and Lane Keeping Assist is now available on the

GS 450h. Using sophisticated radar and camera technology, it will warn you if you

are becoming tired, help you stay in lane and – importantly – activate Pre-Crash

Brake Assist and Pre-Crash Seatbelt if it senses a collision is imminent. This radar

technology also enables all-speed Adaptive Cruise Control. To help you concentrate

on the road ahead, Head-Up Display projects driving data onto the windscreen,

while Blind Spot Monitor uses radar installed in the rear bumper to warn you of

unnoticed overtaking vehicles. In the dark, using infrared technology, Lexus Night

View increases safety by displaying images of the road ahead on the 12.3-inch screen.

38

SUPERIOR PROTECTION

RIGID SAFETY CELL, 10 AIRBAGS

Equipped with next-generation Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management, Advanced

Pre-Crash and brakes engineered to deliver best-in-class stopping performance,

the new GS 450h is designed to avoid danger. However, in the event of a collision,

it is comforting to know that you and your passengers are protected by an incredibly

strong passenger safety cell. One where extensive use has been made of high-tensile

steel to produce a light yet exceptionally stiff cage, with structural members positioned

to ensure that crash forces are evenly absorbed before they ever reach the cabin

space. Extending its safety aspects even further, the new GS 450h features Whiplash

Injury Lessening front seats and a class-leading shield of ten airbags. These include

driver and front passenger airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side

airbags front and rear, and curtain airbags covering all side windows.

41

REDEFINING QUALITY

HAND-SANDED PAINTWORK, ‘TAKUMI’ CRAFTSMANSHIP

The GS 450h completely redefines build quality for this kind of performance sedan.

You’ll sense it when you first touch the precision-machined aluminium audio controls

or beautifully stitched leatherwork. Or stroke the car’s gleaming paintwork. This is

wet-sanded by hand after each foundation coat (a time-consuming process normally

reserved for coach-built cars) and checked by eye as well as digitally to ensure

a perfect finish. Equally impressive, the GS 450h’s steering wheel is painstakingly

laminated from indigenous bamboo, hinting at the car’s unique environmental

credentials. Built at our award-winning Tahara plant, on the same line as the LS

flagship sedan, the entire GS production is overseen by Lexus ‘Takumi’ personnel.

These master craftspeople rigorously check that every car meets our standards for

smoothness, before each is taken for a final 30 km test drive.

42

CREATED WITH A CONSCIENCE

CLEANEST DRIVETRAIN IN CLASS, 85% RECYCLABILITY

The new GS 450h has the cleanest and most efficient Full Hybrid drivetrain in its

class, with breakthrough S-Flow air conditioning and GreenEdge™ audio technology

reducing overall energy consumption even further. Additionally, everything about

the car is designed to minimise environmental impact. Bio-sourced materials are

available for the first time, as are options like an indigenous fast-growing bamboo

trim, and a bamboo leather steering wheel on the GS 450h. At the end of its life, up

to 85% of the car can be recycled, including the hybrid battery. Production at the

award-winning Tahara plant is organised using our world-famous lean manufacturing

techniques, with waste being kept to an absolute minimum, while every day the plant’s

Aqua Control Centre purifies thousands of tons of water.

for rapid acceleration; yet the combined CO2 emissions are as low as 137 g/km.

FULL HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

47FULL HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) MODE

With sufficient battery charge, EV mode lets you drive

at lower speeds over shorter distances using just electric

power. EV mode is whisper quiet, emissions-free and

consumes no fuel. This is ideal, for instance, when driving

in slow-moving traffic or enclosed car parks.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING

When braking or decelerating, the vehicle’s wheels

drive the high-output electric motor so that it functions

as a generator. Kinetic energy – which would otherwise

be lost as heat – is then captured and converted into

electric power. This is stored in the hybrid battery for

later use when driving in Electric Vehicle mode or

accelerating swiftly.

ADVANCED HYBRID BATTERY

Energy-management of the 2-tier, 40-module

nickel-metal hydride 288 V battery is controlled by

sophisticated software. This ensures the battery is

recharged as necessary during driving, so that external

charging is never required. The compact design

contributes to significantly increased boot capacity.

3.5-LITRE V6 PETROL ENGINE

With innovative D-4S direct injection and dual VVT-i

technology, this highly efficient ‘Atkinson Cycle’ engine

is at the heart of the Full Hybrid GS 450h. Also

featuring Start/Stop, it helps reduce fuel consumption

and emissions.

FULL HYBRID PERFORMANCE

The new GS 450h delivers impressive Full Hybrid

performance. Accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just

5.9 seconds, thanks to a potent petrol/electric power

combination. Or drive serenely in zero-emissions EV

mode. Overall, combined emissions are just 137 g/km*

and fuel consumption is only 5.9 l/100 km*.

* For the Eco grade.

POWER CONTROL UNIT

The ‘brain’ of Lexus Hybrid Drive, the Power Control

Unit (PCU) constantly optimises the allocation of power

resources – electric, petrol or a combination of both.

The PCU also manages the process of charging the

hybrid battery, either by allocating engine power to

drive the generator or through regenerative braking.

48 DRIVING DYNAMICS

FRONT SUSPENSION

Featuring forged aluminium components and a revised

49DRIVING DYNAMICS

n ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION

The damping force at all four wheels is intelligently

controlled by the Adaptive Variable Suspension in

response to road surface conditions and driver input.

This not only improves ride comfort, but also increases

handling stability – especially during higher-speed

cornering.

n LEXUS DYNAMIC HANDLING

Exclusive to the GS 450h F SPORT, Lexus Dynamic Handling elevates driving performance to a new dimension.

Together, Variable Gear Ratio Steering and Dynamic Rear Steering control all four wheels independently. At

low to medium speeds, the front and rear wheels turn at slightly opposing angles. This significantly reduces the

turning circle for improved manoeuvrability at slow speeds, while improving agility when driving along winding

country roads. At higher speeds, all four wheels steer in the same direction to enhance rear grip and stability.

This ensures exceptionally composed lane changing and confident cornering at high speed.

DRIVE MODE SELECT

Vehicle performance can be fine-tuned using Drive

Mode Select. ECO mode reduces emissions and

conserves fuel during relaxed driving, while NORMAL

is configured for everyday driving – striking an ideal

balance between economy and ride comfort. SPORT S

immediately increases powertrain responsiveness for

faster acceleration. With Adaptive Variable Suspension

(AVS) specified, SPORT S+ intelligently controls

the powertrain and AVS for exceptionally engaging

performance. In the GS 450h F SPORT, 5-step Vehicle

Dynamics Integrated Management also networks

control of Lexus Dynamic Handling in SPORT S+

mode. The results are supreme levels of on-the-limit

vehicle agility and control.

out of lane, by way of a warning and the

automatic application of a brief corrective

steering force.

n PRE-CRASH SAFETY (PCS)

Millimetre-wave radar and an on-board

computer calculate collision risk ahead.

If the risk is high, the driver is alerted by

audible and visual warnings and brake

pressure is increased. Where collision is

unavoidable, the brakes can be applied

automatically and the front seatbelts

tightened. The same radar technology

is used by Adaptive Cruise Control to

maintain a pre-selected distance behind

the car ahead. The Advanced PCS

system also includes Driver Monitoring.

n DRIVER MONITORING

head airbags, as well as knee and side

airbags. Outer rear seats are specified

with side airbags as standard, while

curtain shield airbags run the full length of

both cabin sides. This exceptional level of

safety protection is provided as standard

in the new GS 450h. As a result, injury

risk is significantly reduced.

n HEAD-UP DISPLAY

Vehicle data, such as speed, is projected

directly onto the windscreen within

the driver’s field of vision. Navigation

commands, audio settings or other

selected information can also be viewed

in the Head-Up Display. This lets the

driver check important data without

looking away from the road ahead.

n BLIND SPOT MONITOR

armrest and featuring an LCD display,

this panel can also be used to set the

rear climate zone, control the audio and

operate the rear blind.

SEAT UPHOLSTERY

Soft-to-the-touch Cellensia fabric is

standard for the new GS 450h. Smooth,

perforated leather is an upgrade option,

while on the F SPORT it is standard with

exclusive diamond-shaped perforations.

Highest quality semi-aniline leather is

available for the Luxury grade.

HIGHLY SUPPORTIVE SEATS

A specialist team worked for over 5 years

developing a seat structure that delivers

optimum relief from fatigue. Adjustable

pelvic support – a world first – together

with shoulder and side support and

butterfly headrests are specified on both

front seats in Luxury grade models.

55INTERIOR FEATURES

LEATHER STEERING WHEEL

A new 3-spoke leather trimmed steering

wheel has been ergonomically designed

for the GS 450h. Measuring 380 mm

in diameter, it is high-grip and tactile

with buttons for audio, display, phone

and voice command positioned close

to the thumb tips.

n LEATHER / WOOD DESIGN

On the Luxury grade, the steering wheel

can optionally be specified in a leather/

wood design. There is a choice of three

wood types and finishes: Ebony (gloss),

Walnut (matt) or – a world first – Bamboo

(matt). And a world first, Bamboo can

be exclusively specified on the new

GS 450h. All steering wheel designs

can be heated.

CLASSIC TIMEPIECE

Taking pride of place in the centre of

the dashboard, this classic timepiece

bears testament to Lexus craftsmanship.

With white LED illumination, an aura of

timeless appeal is created.

MULTIPLE ADJUSTMENTS

The GS 450h is specified with a steering

column that can be electrically adjusted

for tilt and reach. In combination with

multiple electric seat adjustments, all

drivers will be able to obtain their ideal

driving position.

LED INTERIOR LIGHTING

Soft white instrument and cabin lighting

gives the interior a gentle, relaxing

atmosphere. Energy-efficient Light

Emitting Diodes provide illumination as

needed via the main dome lamp, map

and reading lights, as well as permanently

lighting the door panels at night.

PADDLE SHIFT

Although the new GS 450h can be driven

in fully automatic mode, the steering

wheel mounted paddle shift controls

let the driver make swift, manual gear

changes. First developed for Formula

1 cars, this technology enables a more

engaging drive.

n REAR SUNSHADES

An electrically operated sunshade can be

specified for the rear screen. Operating

smoothly and quietly, it is unobtrusive

when not in use. Manual sun blinds are

available for the rear door windows,

complete with a sideways extension to

cover the quarter light.

LUGGAGE SPACE

Boot space in the new GS 450h has

been increased significantly. It can now

accommodate three sets of golf clubs

and two small sports bags, or four

medium sized suitcases.


56 AUDIO, COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION

AUDIO, COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION

DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY

Multiple digital applications can be

synchronised to the multimedia display.

For example, a smart phone’s entire

address book can be simply downloaded,

and then scrolled through on the display.

An iPod® or other multimedia devices

can be viewed and operated via different

display screens.

n HDD NAVIGATION

With crisp, clear graphics and an array

of mapping options, Hard Disk Drive

(HDD) navigation is intuitive to use,

reacting swiftly to user input. European

road maps are conveniently stored on

the HDD and can be updated by Lexus

Authorised Retailers.

VOICE RECOGNITION

When driving, voice commands are

a convenient and safe hands-free way

for the driver to control various on-board

systems, such as HDD navigation or

a Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone.

n 12.3-inch MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY

The new, high resolution, 12.3-inch multimedia display is the widest available in

a series production vehicle. Driver and front passenger can interact with multiple

display screens using Remote Touch, while voice commands also control a number of

applications. The split-widescreen is optimised for simultaneously viewing two types

of information, for example large map display and DAB radio station information.

n REMOTE TOUCH

Next generation Remote Touch, with

single press confirmation, lets users

interact intuitively with the central

multimedia display. Ergonomically

designed, it is close at hand and as easy

to use as a computer mouse.

57AUDIO, COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION

MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY

Positioned between the two main dials,

the 3.5-inch high-resolution colour multi-

information display provides a wide

range of vehicle information and data.

The driver can select the display settings

via the steering wheel mounted control.

COMPASS

A miniature compass is one of many

secondary displays available with the

navigation system. And with the 12.3-inch

screen, there are a number of larger

compass designs that provide exact

latitude and longitude co-ordinates.

STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS

Buttons to operate audio, phone, display

and voice recognition are ergonomically

integrated within the steering wheel. The

optional Lane Keeping Assist switch and

Adaptive Cruise Control radar button

are also steering wheel mounted.

n MARK LEVINSON® SOUND

Specified with a fully digital 835 W

amplifier and 17 speakers utilising

GreenEdge® technology, the Mark

Levinson® sound system delivers a high

resolution, 360° stereoscopic, home-

concert experience.

STANDARD CENTRE CONSOLE

The new GS 450h is fitted with an 8-inch display screen operated by Remote Touch

as standard. This enables control of systems such as audio and climate or viewing

the energy monitor, while HDD navigation is an upgrade option. The centre console

also contains the head unit for the 12-speaker audio system. It features a DAB tuner,

Bluetooth® audio and CD/DVD player. The USB port and AUX socket are located

in the console box and illuminated by white LEDs.

DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT

Favourite DVDs can be viewed – when

the vehicle is stationary – on the central

display screen in all GS models. Or an

iPod® can be played through the vehicle’s

speakers, while viewing digital music

information on the display.

n PARKING ASSIST MONITOR

Engage reverse and the view behind

the car is relayed to the standard 8-inch

display, complete with on-screen

guides to assist parking. With the 12.3-inch

display, the split-screen additionally

shows a parking assist sensor graphic.

The rear spoiler and integral bumper diffuser improve down-force and aerodynamic

efficiency for exceptional handling stability. Incorporating air stabilising fins and

concealed exhaust pipes, the lower bumper section features an inset, chrome-

plated moulding.

EXCLUSIVE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILLE

With its distinctive honeycomb spindle grille and unique bumper, the eye-catching

front of the F SPORT makes a bold and assertive design statement. The deeper,

F SPORT 19" ALLOY WHEELS

The exclusive F SPORT design 19" alloy

wheels are shod with ultra low-profile

(rear) – for exceptional cornering grip.

356 mm, 2-piece, front disc brakes

ensure immense stopping power.

F SPORT BADGE

Although discreet, the F SPORT logo

is a badge of distinction. It reflects

motorsport inspired design influences

and hints at a lineage that is shared - in

part - with the Lexus LFA V10 supercar.

The inset front and rear door scuff

plates are finished in brushed aluminium

74 THE OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE

THE OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE

We see caring for your Lexus as the equivalent of

caring for you. Every member of the Lexus team has

contributed their skills and dedication to ensure that you

experience the very highest levels of care. This extends

to every aspect of our service. Excellence is more than

just a goal – it is a passion for every one of us.

LOOKING AFTER YOUR LEXUS

LEXUS SERVICE

Lexus Service is an invitation for you to entrust the

wellbeing of your Lexus to dedicated professionals

and an opportunity for us to provide unparalleled

levels of care.

PROFESSIONAL CARE

We recommend that you always have your car serviced

by a Lexus Authorised Repairer. All our certified

diagnosis Master Technicians are continuously kept up

to date on Lexus servicing, engineering and technology.

ENVIRONMENT

To reduce waste, parts replaced during servicing

are collected and recycled, while air conditioning

refrigerants are also recovered and reused. We are

researching more efficient dismantling technologies for

the time when the working life of your Lexus is over, and

are developing ways to use shredder residue previously

considered unrecyclable.

END-OF-LIFE VEHICLES

The legislation on end-of-life vehicles offers Lexus

drivers a new and innovative way of returning their old

vehicles to the producer.

WARRANTIES

3-YEAR COMPREHENSIVE WARRANTY

This covers any defect attributable to a manufacturing

or assembly fault under normal use. It applies for three

years or 100,000 km (62,000 miles), whichever comes

first, with no mileage limitation in the first year.

3-YEAR SURFACE RUST

AND PAINTWORK WARRANTY

This warranty covers your vehicle for surface rust and

paint defects appearing on any of the painted body

panels due to a fault in material or workmanship. There

is no mileage restriction.

12-YEAR CORROSION WARRANTY

The warranty offers 12 years’ coverage, regardless of

mileage, against perforation of bodywork (from inside

to outside) that develops due to corrosion caused by

faults in material or workmanship.

These warranties are transferable to subsequent owners.

5-YEAR HYBRID COMPONENT WARRANTY

Certain components within the hybrid drivetrain system

have a 5-year or 100,000 km (62,000 miles) warranty,

whichever comes first. For more information, please

contact your Lexus Authorised Retailer.

MOBILITY

We want to ensure that you enjoy driving your Lexus

anywhere in Europe with complete peace of mind. This

is why we provide free Lexus Euro Assistance 24* for

the first three years of ownership. This programme

ensures your mobility, to take you where you need to

go. Part of this could include, for example, towing, hotel

accommodation, car hire, repatriation of the vehicle and

many more services should your Lexus be immobilised,

stolen, or involved in a collision.

* Please note: conditions may vary between countries. Please consult your

Lexus Authorised Retailer or Repairer for details.
