The new Lexus GS range- a stylish, sophisticated sedan.
Normally when you think sedan, you think boring… Well, not with the reinvented GS range. This newly revised range of classy, tech-savvy sedans has far better driver dynamics, but retains the Lexus quality and standard we all know. This time round the sedan has a wider track, more direct steering, an engineered exhaust system, an automatic gearbox with virtual immediate lock-up technology and a few other technical titbits, but one thing is certain- the new GS is a driver revelation.
In true Lexus style the GS offers a list of luxury features as standard. The GS 350 offers an intelligent climate control system, Lexus Premium Sound, electrically adjustable front seats and steering wheel and full high grade leather trim. A first for this prestige sedan is the all-new 8-speed, Sport Direct Shift auto box. In addition the GS 350 will, for the first time in SA, be made available with the F SPORT package.
This list of extras just grows longer on the GS 450h SE model. It’s equipped with a similar V6 petrol engine to the one on the GS 350. This is further complimented by a powerful electric motor and high voltage battery.
As always, Lexus is big on safety! The GS 450h SE will offer Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. This standard feature can help you when backing out from a parking space. When your vehicle is in reverse, the system is designed to detect vehicles approaching from the right or left rear of the vehicle. If the system senses cross traffic, it alerts you by flashing the side mirror indicators and sounding a warning tone. And with the sleek and modern look of the new Lexus, what more could a lady want?
