A POWERFUL CHANGE
NEW LEXUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, BOLD NEW DESIGN
The all-new GS 450h and GS 250 completely redefine the performance sedan.
Powered by either the world’s most advanced Full Hybrid drivetrain, or a smooth
yet extraordinarily dynamic 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine, both cars accelerate quickly
and are exhilarating to drive. Handling is precise and engaging, thanks to an all-new
chassis and suspension, while the GS 450h offers the additional refinement of all-
wheel steering. Inside, the spacious GS cabin sets new benchmarks for comfort,
craftsmanship and advanced technology. This includes the widest multimedia screen
available today, sophisticated relaxation features for the front seat passenger, and
class-redefining driver support technologies.
4
ARRIVE WITH PRESENCE
NEW L-FINESSE DESIGN, CLASS-LEADING AERODYNAMICS
The GS 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 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 GS 450h’s radiator grille, with fins on the rear lights increasing driving stability
and reducing wind noise inside the cabin.
6
CLASS-LEADING 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 two high-output electric motors, this intelligent partnership
develops 343 DIN hp for a thrilling drive. Acceleration is 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 137 g/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.
GS 450h THE POWER OF h
9
GS 250 IMPECCABLE RESPONSE
DYNAMIC V6 POWER, PADDLE SHIFT TRANSMISSION
The all-new GS 250 comes with a 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine delivering
209 DIN hp of highly responsive power. Smooth and very rewarding to drive,
this dynamic new performance sedan will accelerate rapidly up to a top speed
of 230 km/h, where legally permitted. Engineered for lightness and strength,
its aluminium-alloy V6 offers superb balance and durability, while leading edge
sound engineering creates an excitingly resonant engine note. Surpassing
Euro V emissions requirements, advanced D-4 direct injection and dual
VVT-i valve control ensure both power and economy across the entire rev
range. Driving the rear wheels, the GS 250’s 6-speed automatic transmission
features paddle shifts and a manual ‘M’ mode for enhanced driving pleasure.
10
GS F SPORT DYNAMIC ATTRACTION
F SPORT STYLING, 19-INCH ALLOYS, LEXUS DYNAMIC HANDLING
The new GS 250 F SPORT and GS 450h F SPORT are unmistakably dynamic.
Witness the aggressive F SPORT front-end styling – that integrates upper and
lower honeycomb grilles – the 19-inch alloy wheels, and the discrete rear spoiler.
Inside, the cockpit features a 16-way sports driver’s seat, aluminium pedals 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 F SPORT models offer an incredibly precise and exciting drive. This is thanks
to leading edge technologies such as 356 mm 2-piece front brakes and Adaptive
Variable Suspension (AVS). For even more thrilling performance, an additional
breakthrough on the GS 450h F SPORT is ‘Lexus Dynamic Handling’ that networks
AVS, Variable Gear Ratio Steering, Dynamic Rear Steering and Vehicle Dynamics
Integrated Management.
12
OUTER BEAUTY, INNER CALM
SPACIOUS LUXURY CABIN, 18-WAY ELECTRIC SEATS
In its capacious and tranquil cabin, the GS will keep you perfectly relaxed, even on
the longest journeys. Behind the beautifully crafted steering wheel, the sumptuous
driver’s seat has 18-way electric adjustments for total comfort. Meanwhile, your
front seat passenger can enjoy the luxury of an electrically extending seat cushion
for extra thigh and calf support. The GS is exquisitely finished too: witness the subtly
pronounced stitching on the instrument panel, door trim, centre console and gearshift
lever. Another Lexus breakthrough is the intelligent, energy-saving electronic air
conditioning that only cools those seats that are occupied. Additionally, world-first
nanoe® technology releases electrically charged ions into the cabin air. Not only
good for your skin and hair, this also helps deodorise the upholstery.
15
THE BIG PICTURE
WORLD’S WIDEST MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY, REMOTE TOUCH
The new GS delivers sophisticated luxury and comfort, thanks to an ergonomic
cockpit separated clearly into Display and Operation zones to minimise driver eye
movement. The car is fitted with a 12.3-inch multimedia display, the world’s widest.
Using our next-generation Remote Touch device, you can interact with the car’s
advanced equipment to navigate using 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.
17
ENGINEERED FOR ENJOYMENT
NEW CHASSIS, MULTI-LINK SUSPENSION, DRIVE MODE SELECT
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 improvement in driving performance has been achieved in a number
of ways. The chassis is stiffer and has been totally re-engineered, while the all-new
suspension includes a more compact rear multi-link design that greatly increases
boot space. The car also has powerful new brakes and leading edge technologies
such as Adaptive Variable Suspension and Dynamic Rear Steering. The new GS
features Drive Mode Select that allows you to conveniently switch between ECO,
NORMAL, SPORT S and SPORT S+ driving modes, maximising either the vehicle’s
environmental efficiency or tuning its dynamics for a sportier drive.
19
PROGRESS WITH CONFIDENCE
LEXUS NIGHT VIEW, ADVANCED PRE-CRASH SAFETY
The new GS is equipped with the most technologically advanced safety and driver
assistance systems available today. For more driving confidence at night, Lexus Night
View displays an infra-red image of the road ahead on the 12.3-inch multimedia
screen, while Blind Spot Monitor uses radar installed in the rear bumper to warn
of overtaking vehicles that you may not have noticed. To help you concentrate on
driving, Head-Up Display projects navigation and performance data onto the
windscreen and Lane–Keeping Assist keeps you from drifting out of lane. First seen
on our LS luxury sedan, award-winning Advanced Pre-Crash Safety detects the
possibility of a collision and alerts you before activating Pre-Crash Brake Assist and
Pre-Crash Seatbelt pre-tensioners if required. Finally, ten airbags and an incredibly
strong passenger safety cell combine to minimise injuries in the event of an impact.
21
REDEFINING QUALITY
HAND-SANDED PAINTWORK, ‘TAKUMI’ CRAFTSMANSHIP
The GS 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.
22
FULL HYBRID TECHNOLOGY
LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE
For exhilarating driving and exceptional environmental performance, Lexus Hybrid
Drive intelligently combines petrol and electric power. The Power Control Unit
seamlessly delivers optimum output from the highly-efficient 3.5-litre V6 Atkinson
Cycle engine and two powerful electric motors. It also charges the compact battery
through regenerative braking or by converting surplus energy into electricity.
SPORT S AND SPORT S+
Switch to SPORT S and the Lexus Hybrid
Drive powertrain provides faster throttle
responses for a more engaging drive.
And in SPORT S+ continuous electronic
chassis control delivers exceptionally
dynamic handling.
DRIVE MODE SELECT
You can tune the performance of the
GS 450h by choosing between four
different driving modes, which range
from ECO to SPORT S+. Or simply
press EV mode to use purely electric
power over shorter distances.
EV AND ECO
With the battery sufficiently charged,
EV mode lets you drive at lower speeds
using just the electric motor. ECO blends
petrol and electric power for increased
speed, while minimising emissions and
fuel consumption.
LOW EMISSIONS
CO2 emissions from just 137 g/km are
remarkable for a luxury performance
sedan with 343 DIN hp and rapid
acceleration. In EV (Electric Vehicle)
mode, the GS 450h drives near silently
and emits zero emissions.
23
ADVANCED EQUIPMENT
HARD DISK DRIVE NAVIGATION
With crisp and clear graphics and an array of mapping options, Hard Disk Drive
(HDD) navigation is intuitive to use, reacting swiftly to user input. Combined with
Dynamic Route Guidance it can also suggest alternative routes to avoid traffic delays.
Maps covering the vast majority of the European road network are conveniently
stored on the HDD and can be updated by Lexus Authorised Retailers.
3-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL
Featuring world first nanoe® technology,
the GS cabin is divided into three
electronically controlled climate zones.
Front seat occupants input their individual
settings via Remote Touch or the front
panel, while rear passengers control their
zone using a dedicated panel.
DIGITAL MEDIA
You can synchronise multiple digital
applications to the multimedia display.
For example, simply download your
smart phone’s entire address book
and scroll through it on the display. Or
view and operate your iPod® or other
multimedia devices via different display
screens.
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.
24
LEADING EDGE SAFETY
ADVANCED PRE-CRASH SAFETY
Millimetre-wave radar can detect potential obstacles ahead, with the driver being
immediately alerted to a high risk of impact. Where collision is unavoidable, the
brakes are applied automatically if necessary. All-speed Adaptive Cruise Control
uses the same radar technology to maintain your pre-selected distance behind the
vehicle ahead.
BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Radar devices mounted in the rear
bumper detect vehicles in adjacent lanes
that are not visible in your door mirrors.
The moment a vehicle enters this blind
spot, the driver is warned by a signal in
the relevant door mirror(s).
LANE KEEPING ASSIST
This innovative technology helps prevent
the driver from inadvertently drifting
out of lane, by way of a warning and the
automatic application of a brief corrective
steering force. It can also provide subtle
steering torque adjustments to help
re-centre the new GS within the lane.
HEAD-UP DISPLAY
Vehicle data, such as current speed, is
projected directly onto the windscreen
within the driver’s field of vision. Simplified
navigation commands, audio settings or
other selected vehicle data can also be
viewed within the Head-Up Display.
DRIVER MONITORING
Utilising built-in Charge Coupled Device
(CCD) digital cameras with near-infrared
LEDs, the Driver Monitoring System
can detect if the driver’s eyes are shut
or if they are averted from the road
ahead. Warnings are then activated as
appropriate.
25
F SPORTDESIGN
The new GS can be specified as an exclusive F SPORT version. Distinctive, motorsport
inspired exterior styling and unique interior detailing create a highly-tuned sense of
sporting intent.
BESPOKE INTERIOR
A new leather design and vibrant garnet red have been developed exclusively for
the F SPORT. Other unique and distinctive items include aluminium inlays and drilled
sport pedals, as well as F SPORT scuff plates.
19" ALLOY WHEELS
The exclusive F SPORT design 19"alloy
wheels are shod with low-profile tyres for
exceptional cornering grip. 356 mm disc
brakes ensure immense stopping power.
FRONT STYLING AND GRILLE
With its distinctive honeycomb grille,
the eye-catching front of the F SPORT
makes a bold and assertive design
statement.
REAR STYLING
The rear spoiler not only improves down-
force and aerodynamic efficiency, it also
adds a final, dynamically stylish touch to
the exterior of the F SPORT.
F SPORT STEERING WHEEL
As you grip the perforated leather
steering wheel, with its F SPORT logo,
there is a tangible sense of being at-one
with this high performance sedan. It
demands driver involvement.
