Lexus has unveiled the entirely new GS 350 at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the U.S. The new model combines bold, dynamic styling, precise handling, innovative technology and a spacious, luxurious interior. In addition to the GS 350, Lexus will release other GS models, including a hybrid and F Sport variant.

An invitation to drive

The GS 350 provides a more engaging driving experience via advanced aerodynamics, a completely new platform with a wider stance and stiffer structure, a transmission with quicker shifts, distinctive engine sound and exhaust notes, and better seat support. The all-new multi-link rear suspension maximises tyre cornering force and enhances rear control. Overall, the suspension is lighter and stronger, allowing it to react to driver input quickly while aiding ride quality.

A new direction for L finesse design

The New Generation GS expresses the new direction of Lexus' design philosophy, with its precisely sculpted exterior signalling the design direction for future vehicles.

The signature spindle grille with its trapezoidal contours evolved from current Lexus styling and fully integrates into the aggressive front bumper, allowing for efficient airflow.

This distinctive Lexus design feature combined with the deep-set, high-tech headlamps and L-shaped LED daytime running lamps further expresses the vehicle's confident and dynamic character.

Headlamps use a projector beam design, adding a strong, chiselled appearance and excellent illumination.

The tapered lower rocker panel and the short front overhang give the vehicle a sense of motion.

Width-enhancing front and rear wheel arches add an athletic stance and enhance the vehicle's dynamic presence.

The rear bumper features a distinctive exhaust diffuser and centred aero fins to help control underbody airflow.

Combined with the L-shaped LED tail lamps, a Lexus design cue, these rear bumper features lend a high-performance appearance.

From the side, the GS projects the image of a spacious sports sedan with its road-hugging stance.

Overall, the new GS sheet metal represents a significant extension of the Lexus L-finesse philosophy that is the core of all Lexus product design.

Superior interior comfort

The luxurious interior of the New Generation GS provides ample space for all occupants.  The entire cabin was created around the driver and the driving experience and painstaking attention to detail was applied to the GS cabin, creating a balance of luxurious and technological amenities and emotional design

A redesigned seat frame and changes to the steering column architecture enable an improved driver seating position for increased comfort, better forward visibility and overall command of the road.

Equal attention has been paid to maximising space for rear passengers, adding headroom, legroom, knee room and improved foot space compared with the current generation GS. Boot space has been increased by almost 25 per cent, accommodating four sets of golf clubs easily.

The new layout of the long, sculpted dash gives the driver and front passenger a sense of roominess through its clean centre stack and new, large high-resolution centre control display placed deep near the front windshield.

Most of the controls, such as audio and climate, have been relocated to provide a cleaner and more sophisticated dash layout.

A new energy-saving auto climate control system called S-Flow uses the occupant-detection system to focus airflow only to the front area where passengers are actually seated, a class-leading technology.

Remote Touch with one-push confirmation is standard on all models and enables smooth, intuitive operations control.

The Remote Touch allows the user to operate the climate, audio, phone controls, navigation system and more. The screen menus are selected with the controller, eliminating the need to reach out.   Remote Touch also reduces eye movement and helps users operate functions with reduced effort and distraction.

A standard reverse camera helps add security and convenience.

The finely crafted cabin detail is complemented further by ambient lighting that unobtrusively welcomes and guides the user into the vehicle, providing a carefully designed experience.  Furthermore, new white LED lights are sequentially lit to illuminate the areas around the doors, centre console and foot wells.

An analogue clock with LED indicators, carved from an ingot, adds a unique touch, at once being both modern and traditional.
