Lexus GS
The Lexus GS is a mid-size sedan that offers buyers a sportier ride and a touch of exclusivity. Redesigned a little less than two years ago, it has the brand’s trademark new front grille and, like many other Lexus models, it can be ordered with either the 306-hp conventional engine (350 and 350 F) or with the 332-hp hybrid (450h). It comes factory-standard with front-wheel drive, but it’s also available with all-wheel drive.
