The car has a lot in store for everyone and the efficient technology makes it really worth every single penny.
Luxurious yet not ostentatious, inside and out: that’s the Lexus way
Ridiculous torque makes passing easy and high-speed cruising a pleasure
Hybrid drive means a performance car that doesn’t feel silly stuck in traffic
Keyless entry and exit done right
Down:
“Quick start guide” is 58 pages long
Weighs over two tons and it isn’t even AWD
Map lights are really dim, light switches are hard to find in the dark
Batteries for the hybrid drive don’t leave much trunk space
Verdict: The GS 450h is really a 4-door Grand Touring car: even the styling recalls a two-door coupe, and it’s happiest at 50 MPH and above, where the abundant torque and sure-footed high-speed handling let you put hundreds of miles behind you in an alarmingly short time. When judged as such, it succeeds.
To appreciate the GS 450h, you have to get stuck in a traffic jam. Instead of idling away at $3.50 a gallon and overheating, the engine simply cuts off, the electric motor takes care of advancing you three car lengths at a time, and your blood pressure stays low.
This intangible benefit is the real reason to pay extra for that little “h”. If your driving habits make this important to you, it’ll be money well spent. If not, you can save the money, the weight, and the trunk space.
