What Changed

The Lexus GS is all-new for the 2013 model year. The new styling loses its smooth curves in favor of a more chiseled and angular appearance. The new model is almost identical in length, but slightly wider. Two models are offered: the GS 350 and the GS 450h. Both are powered by a 3.5l V6 engine. The GS 350 is offered in both RWD and AWD. The hybrid GS 450h is only available in RWD.
