After four years since it launched the fourth generation of the GS, Lexus introduced a facelifted version improving the vehicle in many areas.
The refreshed GS was not just a pretty face on the same old package. It was another step forward in technological achievements, and when it appeared on the market, it was the only premium sports sedan that provided two hybrid powertrains. It also offered a unique, unmistakable design.
It all started at the front with the “Lexus-spindle.” While it looked like a vertical bow-tie strangled in the middle, it offered an aggressive, road-hugging look. New DRLs underlined its three-LED headlamps. Lexus added a new bumper design and new 19”, light-alloy wheels for the F Sport version.
Inside, Lexus installed bucket seats at the front with standard artificial leather upholstery. The carbon-fiber and aluminum trims created a sporty yet elegant interior. It was like a GT vehicle but with four doors. In the back, Lexus offered a choice for either a bench for three or two individual seats separated by a folding armrest. There was enough room for three passengers in the back, but with an uncomfortable position for the middle one.
Under the hood, Lexus offered something for everyone. The base engine was a new, inline-four, turbocharged unit. On the top-spec version, the F-Sport model featured a hybrid powertrain that provided 345 hp.
