2020 Lexus GS 350 Base Sedan Exterior Shown Exterior

The Lexus GS is one of the more exciting vehicles from Lexus. It was among the first to popularize hybrid technology as a performance enhancer. And it often strikes a great balance between performance and comfort, yet it remains more affordable than its European competition.

The current model GS is getting a bit on in years and it's starting to show, having not had a significant redesign since 2013. There are still things to like about it, but it's hard to justify against the current competition.

The unrecognized competitor of the A6 and 5 series

2018 Lexus GS 350 F SPORT 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The Lexus GS350 is the luxury sport sedan that gives you the best of both worlds if you are looking for comfort and performance.

2019 Lexus GS 350 F SPORT 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 8A)

Good gas mileage for a car that has 311 HP, roomy interior and style. Consider it if you are looking at a mid-size luxury vehicle with a roomy interior and good sized trunk.
