ENVIRONMENT P56 INTRODUCING THE GS “For the GS, we reappraised everything about how a luxury sedan looks and drives. For instance, central to the stunning L-finesse design concept is a bold spindle grille that has, quite literally, changed the face of Lexus. Then we created a rigid body, reengineered the suspension, and developed innovative stability systems for an exciting yet refined driving experience. In the cabin, we integrated various advanced technologies to provide outstanding comfort and pleasure for every drive.” TORU KATO, GS Emeritus Chief Engineer 1 A POWERFUL CHANGE DYNAMIC LEXUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, BOLD DESIGN The GS 300h, GS 350, and GS 450h dramatically redefine the performance sedan. Powered by either an advanced Full Hybrid drivetrain, or a smooth yet extraordinarily dynamic 3.5-litre V6 engine, the GS accelerates quickly and is exhilarating to drive. Handling is precise and engaging, thanks to the advanced chassis and suspension. Inside, the spacious GS cabin sets fresh benchmarks for comfort, craftsmanship and advanced technology. This includes a 12.3-inch wide multimedia screen, sophisticated relaxation features for the front seat passenger, and class defining driver support technologies. 2 3 ARRIVE WITH PRESENCE L-FINESSE DESIGN, CLASS-LEADING AERODYNAMICS The GS sedan was created by applying a bold expression of our L-finesse design language. Starting afresh, our designers gave the GS a dynamic look, with the dramatic, purposeful spindle grille as the focal point. Bi-beam projector type LED headlamps enhance driver vision, while LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) creates a distinctive aura. In profile, the car’s muscular stance contrasts its lean waistline and long streamlined body, to shape a unique presence with a spacious cabin for up to five occupants. Underlying the powerful form, the flared wheel arches hint at dynamic handling. Innovations for the car’s class leading aerodynamics which include smooth underbody covers and integrated aero stabilising fins on the rear lamps and floor under covers, contribute to driving stability. 4 5 ENGINEERED FOR ENJOYMENT SOPHISTICATED CHASSIS, MULTI-LINK REAR SUSPENSION, DRIVE MODE SELECT The fourth-generation GS delivers a highly engaging and pleasurable drive. You will enjoy sharp accurate steering and excellent control while cornering, together with world-class high-speed stability and Lexus ride comfort on the expressway. This superb driving performance is the product of numerous enhancements. The chassis was reengineered to provide excellent stability and ride comfort, while the rear suspension has a compact multi-link design that contributes to the ample trunk space. In addition to powerful brakes, the GS is equipped with leading-edge technologies such as Lexus Dynamic Handling system (LDH) - F Sport only. Drive mode select allows the driver to optimise either the vehicle’s environmental efficiency or tuning its dynamics for a sporty drive. GS 300h and GS 350 Limited can switch between Eco, Normal and Sport modes while GS 350 F Sport, GS 450h Limited and GS 450h F Sport models give driver’s the choice between Eco and Normal plus for performance oriented driving ‘Sport S’ and ‘Sport S+’. SPORT S/SPORT S+ MODES ECO MODE BOOSTING DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE If you are in a dynamic mood, select Sport S/Sport S+ Modes and the GS immediately retunes powertrain and handling characteristics for sports driving. Sport S Mode revises throttle mapping and transmission shifting priorities to harness the sports capabilities of the powertrain. Sport S+ Mode enhances handling characteristics with a sports setting of the Adaptive Variable Suspension system (AVS), Electric Power Steering (EPS) and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM), together with the powertrain settings of Sport S Mode.* OPTIMISING ENVIRONMENTAL EFFICIENCY The drive mode select on the centre console that allows you to choose Eco Mode to optimise the car’s environmental efficiency. In Eco Mode, the engine output and gear selection are automatically adjusted to optimise fuel efficiency in various driving conditions. The air conditioning, airflow volume, and ventilation fan are intelligently controlled to further reduce fuel consumption. * Sport S/Sport S+/Customise Modes: Models with AVS. 6 7 GS 350: IMPECCABLE RESPONSE DYNAMIC POWER, PADDLE SHIFT Smooth and very rewarding to drive, this dynamic performance sedan is fitted with a 3.5-litre V6 engine that delivers highly responsive power, enabling it to accelerate quickly up to top speed.

In addition to enhancing the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell, Lexus developed an airflow management concept called ‘aerodynamic damping’. Inspired by the Lexus LFA V10 supercar, it moves airflow close to the vehicle body to enhance handling, smooths the flow in and around the wheel arches, and reduces air pressure within the arch itself. The resulting effect not only enhances steering response, but also creates a flat ride and refines road holding, producing a low drag coefficient. The Adaptive Variable Suspension system (AVS)*1 was also optimised, with damper settings to enable drivers to fine-tune the ride characteristics. Adding to Normal and Sport modes found in all GS models, AVS equipped cars gain Sport S and Sport S+ mode for excellent body control and precise response to steering input. *1 AVS available for GS 350 F Sport, GS 450h Limited and GS 450h F Sport 10 11 THE POWER OF h CLASS-LEADING FULL HYBRID PERFORMANCE, EV-DRIVE MODE Benefiting from 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 engine and a high-output electric motor, this intelligent partnership develops a total system output of 254kW for an exciting drive. Acceleration is smooth and incredibly rapid, yet fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been significantly reduced. It also features EV (Electric Vehicle)-Drive Mode. Sharing the same level of innovation in Full Hybrid technology is the GS 300h. Powered by a 2.5-litre Atkinson Cycle engine and high-output electric motor with a total system output of 164kW the GS 300h consumes fuel at just 5.2L/100km. 12 13 GS450h FULL HYBRID LEADERSHIP SEAMLESS FULL HYBRID TECHNOLOGY Since Lexus first introduced Lexus Hybrid Drive to the world, we have continued to lead luxury car manufacturers by offering 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 seamlessly alongside each other. At Lexus, all our hybrid vehicles are Full Hybrids. 14 15 HOW DOES LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE WORK? START UP, DRIVING OFF When starting off, the electric motor can propel the GS 300h and 450h up to normal driving speeds with electric power being supplied from the hybrid battery. At this point the vehicle is almost silent, uses no petrol and produces zero emissions. 16 NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS At normal driving speeds the smooth Atkinson Cycle petrol engine cuts in almost silently, but still receives assistance from the electric motor when required. Through the excellent distribution of the petrol and electric power sources, the GS Hybrid models provide extraordinary driving excitement – together with low emissions and modest fuel consumption. FULL THROTTLE ACCELERATION Accelerate and the power of the electric motor instantaneously supplements the 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 engine turns off, cutting emissions to zero. Brake, or take your foot off the accelerator pedal, 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 whyyou never need to recharge a Lexus Full Hybrid. 17 F SPORT DYNAMIC ATTRACTION F SPORT STYLING, 19-INCH ALLOYS, LEXUS DYNAMIC HANDLING The F Sport packages are very dynamic. Witness the aggressive F Sport front-end styling that integrates upper and lower honeycomb grilles, 19-inch alloy wheels, and discrete rear spoiler. Developed at the Nürburgring, Fuji Speedway, and on winding roads around the world, the F Sport packages offer an incredibly precise and exciting drive thanks to leading-edge technologies that includes Lexus Dynamic Handling system (LDH). LDH networks Electric Power Steering (EPS), Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) and Dynamic Rear Steering (DRS). Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) manages LDH, Adaptive Variable Suspension system (AVS), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), acceleration and braking to provide very smooth yet thrilling performance. 18 19 20 21 VISIONARY DESIGN ERGONOMIC COCKPIT, LUXURY TOUCHES The GS delivers intuitive and relaxed control thanks to an ergonomic cockpit layout clearly separated into display and operation zones to help minimise driver eye movement, and details like the wide 12.3-inch Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) display.
