Inside

 

 

 

The interior of the GS exurbs luxury and is very attractive with every creature feature imaginable. The GS has a steering wheel, which automatically lifts and retracts when you turn off the car.

 

One of the highlights of the GS is the beautiful bamboo trim, which highlights the interior.

 

The 12.3-inch screen highlights the center stack, which is easy to read.

 

The GS 450h had a Mark Levinson audio system, which delivers superb sound with 835- watt amp.

 

Highlighting the GS 450h is an automatic setting for the heated and cooled seats. When you set on automatic, the temperature setting activates the heating or cooling.

Outside

 

 

 

The exterior design is not as unique as I found as the interior, which is pleasant but not ground breaking. The spindle grille highlights the front end, but I found the rear end design lackluster. The shape of the GS 450h has large greenhouse, and rounded roofline and gives the car a sedate look.

 

Summary

 

Buyers looking for a high end highbred should definitely visit their local Lexus dealer for a test drive.
