Meet the brand new 2013 Lexus GS 450h, a first class hybrid for the mid-sized luxury sedan market. Boasting 34 mpg highway, its highly sustainable fuel efficiency matches its competitors as a leader in its class. Take one look at its flat underbody and you'll see a cohesive design that utilizes aero-stabilizing fins for improved aerodynamic performance and noise reduction. The GS 350h's unique tri-lamp headlights complete the hybrid's forward thinking exterior design.
You'll notice an engaging interior styling when you hop in and are immediately cooled by its patented S-flow automatic climate control system. Of course, the driver seat is where the magic happens and the GS 450h's bamboo wrapped steering wheel lets you have complete control over audio and multi-information display.
