What’s New?

Front and rear fascias have been improved while navigation is currently standard on GS 350. The Lexus Safety System +, and a modern driver assistance package are optional. The Lexus Enform Service Connect infotainment system has also been added across the lineup.
Exterior Features
The GS gains modern front styling, filled with a more dramatic spindle-style grille, and special design detailing, functional air intakes and cooling ducts, and the quad exhaust outlets like those of the now-removed Lexus IS F performance sedan.
The Lexus GS F now rides on staggered-width, fronting red painted brake calipers, split-spoke 19-inch aluminum wheels, and the wrapped in low-profile performance tires.

The 2016 Lexus GS is available with a navigation system, and head-up display. The Mark Levinson premium audio system, and Lexus Enform services’ variety are also available in the sedan.
Engine/ Fuel Efficiency
The sports sedan boasts a 5.0L, 4-cylinder engine and produces a 467 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. The car comes with an 8–speed automatic transmission with the capability to reach 60mph in only 7 seconds. Fuel economy is the major high in this Lexus since it provides 29/34 MPG. Fuel economy is attained without undermining the acceleration and performance of a car.
