A POWERFUL CHANGE
NEW LEXUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, BOLD NEW DESIGN
The all-new GS 450h completely redefines the performance saloon. Powered by
the world’s most advanced Full Hybrid drivetrain, it accelerates incredibly quickly
and is exhilarating to drive. Handling is precise and engaging, thanks to an all-new
chassis and suspension, while the GS 450h also offers the additional refinement
of all-wheel steering. Inside, the spacious 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.

ARRIVE WITH PRESENCE
NEW L-FINESSE DESIGN, CLASS-LEADING AERODYNAMICS
The GS 450h saloon 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 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 radiator grille, with fins on the rear lights increasing driving stability and
reducing wind noise inside the cabin.

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 bhp 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 6.0 l/100 km (47.1 mpg), and CO2 emissions have dropped to 139 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 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, 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 450h F SPORT offers 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.

OUTER BEAUTY, INNER CALM
SPACIOUS LUXURY CABIN
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
driver’s seat has up to 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 450h 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.

WORLD’S WIDEST MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY, REMOTE TOUCH
CONTROL
The new GS 450h delivers sophisticated luxury and comfort, thanks to an ergonomic
cockpit separated clearly into Display and Operation zones to reduce driver eye
movement to a minimum. The car is available 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.

ENGINEERED FOR ENJOYMENT
NEW CHASSIS, MULTI-LINK SUSPENSION, DRIVE MODE SELECT
Our GS 450h Full Hybrid delivers the most engaging and pleasurable drive ever
offered by a Lexus performance saloon. 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 offers
leading edge technologies such as Adaptive Variable Suspension and Dynamic
Rear Steering. The new GS 450h also 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.

PROGRESS WITH CONFIDENCE
LEXUS NIGHT VIEW, ADVANCED PRE-CRASH SAFETY
The new GS 450h 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 saloon, 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.

REDEFINING QUALITY
HAND-SANDED PAINTWORK, ‘TAKUMI’ CRAFTSMANSHIP
The GS 450h completely redefines build quality for this kind of performance
saloon. 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. Built at our award-winning Tahara plant, on the same line
as the LS flagship saloon, 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.

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 SPORT S+).
Or simply press EV mode to use purely
electric power for shorter distances.
EV AND ECO
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 of just 139 g/km are
remarkable for a luxury performance
saloon with 343 bhp and rapid
acceleration. In EV (Electric Vehicle)
mode, the GS 450h drives near silently
and emits zero emissions.
Vehicles pictured and specifications detailed in this brochure may vary from final Irish vehicles.

ADVANCED EQUIPMENT
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. Maps covering the
vast majority of the European road network are conveniently stored on the HDD
and can be updated by Lexus Authorised Dealer.
3-ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL
Featuring world first nanoe® technology,
the GS 450h 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, download your phone’s
entire address book and scroll through
it on the display. Or view and operate
your iPod® or other multimedia devices
including audio files from a USB storage
device via different display screens.
12.3" MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY
The new, high resolution, 12.3" 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 command also controls a number of
applications. The split-widescreen is optimised for simultaneously viewing of two
types of information, for example large map display and audio information.

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 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 450h 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
of if they are averted from the road
ahead. Warnings are then activated as
appropriate.
Vehicles pictured and specifications detailed in this brochure may vary from final Irish vehicles.
