The GS450h is a full gas/electric hybrid model that boosts fuel economy and performance. A restrained interior is finished in wood and leather and offers a competitive list of feature considered mandatory on todays luxury cars.

What Changed:

The V8-powered model switches to the 4.6L V8 and 8-speed automatic found in the flagship LS sedan. The GS430 becomes the GS460. The 2008 models also feature minor cosmetic changes to the front fascia and instrument panel.
