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
The GS 450h features an aggressive braking system, including power-assisted disc brakes with Brake Assist and a four-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) . These brakes are ventilated for superior stopping performance. And the front wheels feature high-friction front brake pads, which yield a higher coefficient of resistance on the rotors. Specially designed for high-performance driving, these brakes work in conjunction with the Electronically Controlled Brakes (ECB) system to help provide even faster braking response.

In addition to giving the GS 450h a sportier appearance, the dual exhaust system allows the engine to "breathe" more easily, resulting in better efficiency and improved performance. While vehicles with formidable performance can often have high emissions, the low emissions of the GS 450h have earned it the environmentally advanced SULEV certification. For more information on emissions ratings, please visit www.epa.gov.

Safety
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) employs computerized control to help prevent the wheels from locking up or skidding during braking. For additional control, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) monitors and manages the force between the front and rear brakes to help prevent the vehicle from dipping during braking. And for emergency stops, Brake Assist  automatically helps boost braking force when the driver does not apply enough pressure to the brake pedal.

The available Pre-Collision System (PCS) is equipped with a front-mounted radar sensor that constantly monitors the distance of the vehicle ahead. When the PCS computer determines that a frontal collision is unavoidable, it preemptively retracts the front seatbelts and engages the Brake Assist for increased braking force when the driver steps on the brake pedal.
