safety technology. The GS’s refined style features a strong rendition of the Lexus
signature spindle grille, framed by an elegant satin chrome trim and flanked by
distinctive new standard LED headlights.

GS INTERIOR DESIGN
HEIGHTENED LUXURY
Forging ahead with one hand in innovation and the other
in tradition, a complete redesign of the GS exterior
houses a classic interior design that is unmistakably Lexus
in both luxury and amenities.
THE LAIR OF DOMINATION The distinctive look
and feel of Lexus emanates from every square inch of the
interior, pleasing both the eye with a 12.3-inch LCD
display screen, and the touch with heated and available
ventilated leather front seats, which boast power
adjustments and driver-seat memory. The leatherwrapped steering wheel with paddle shifter features
audio controls at your fingertips to deliver an immersive
sonic experience. While the Navigation System with
Remote Touch Interface lets you command your
environment at the lightest touch.
