Learn the benefits and luxuries of the Lexus GS 450h below.

There’s a certain feeling you get when you’re behind the wheel of a GS Hybrid. It’s a feeling that can only be described as electric. Of course, it may have something to do with what you’ll find underneath its sculpted hood—the forces behind this rear-wheel drive performance sedan—a powerful, potent electric-drive motor harmoniously paired with a V6 gasoline engine. But then again, as soon as your foot touches the accelerator, you tend to forget about all that. Together they provide incredible power at a moment’s notice. And a 0-to-60 time more comparable to that of a V8. Power, performance, luxury and lower emissions. When Lexus designs a hybrid vehicle, there are no compromises.

Performance
How long does it take to turn a hybrid-technology skeptic into an avid devotee? About 5.2 seconds.1,2 That’s the amount of time required for the GS 450h to accelerate from 0-to-60 miles per hour. Contrary to what some might believe, it’s not the V6 gasoline engine that’s solely responsible for such a feat, nor is it the high-output electric-drive motor. It’s a seamless mixture of the two. A mixture so potent, it can churn out a total of 340 horsepower1—and do so while maintaining a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating. In addition, the GS Hybrid is equipped with an exclusive set of 18 x 8.0-inch five-spoke alloy wheels,3 along with 245/40ZR18 tires3 for better handling and performance. Another feature, Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS), automatically adjusts the rack-and-pinion steering ratio for optimum maneuverability and control. Desire even more performance while cornering? Then consider upgrading to the available Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System. It uses wheel-speed and steering-wheel-angle sensors to quickly calculate and adjust the stabilizer bars to help keep the vehicle flat through a turn.

Technology
As you might expect, the GS Hybrid is equipped with the latest in automotive technology. To begin
with, there’s the powerful V6 gasoline engine featuring dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). By continually monitoring the engine’s valves, the VVT-i system provides optimum performance at any speed. Paired with this extraordinary engine is a high-output
permanent-magnet electric-drive motor. And ensuring a smooth transition from gasoline to electric power is an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT). Another important feature is regenerative braking. With it, kinetic energy that is normally lost as heat during braking, coasting or deceleration is captured and used to recharge the battery. And to help you keep an eye on all that power, the conventional tachometer has been replaced with a power meter, allowing you to quickly monitor the level of electrical output with just a glance at the instrument panel.

Safety
After driving the GS Hybrid, you might assume that performance and luxury were all we were concerned about. Truth be told, there is always something more important to us: the well-being of you and your passengers. That’s why in addition to the impressive basic components—
driver’s and front passenger’s airbags (SRS),11 front seat-mounted side airbags (SRS),11 rear seat-mounted side airbags (SRS),11 driver’s and front passenger’s knee airbags (SRS)11 and front and rear curtain airbags (SRS)11— you’ll find a range of other safety features. Things like
Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM),12 which uses a series of sensors to help predict loss of traction in a turn. If a problem is identified, a combination of individual wheel braking, throttle activation and steering assistance can seamlessly help correct the situation. Of course, a vehicle as powerful as the GS 450h also needs an equally impressive braking system. That’s why it’s equipped with Electronic Controlled Braking (ECB). And to help ensure your path remains well-lit through every twist and turn, the GS Hybrid comes with an Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), which automatically directs the headlamps toward the direction you are turning. For even more peace of mind, an advanced Pre-Collision System (PCS)13 is also available.
With PCS,13 a millimeter-wave radar system can calculate the distance and speed at which the GS is approaching an object and is designed to determine whether a collision is imminent. If so, the system will automatically help increase the maximum applied braking force while simultaneously retracting the front seatbelts.
