The Lexus GS 450h<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is it?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 The Lexus GS 450h has received a total makeover for 2013 making it more stylish and sportier to drive. It is a full hybrid car so this essentially means it has a petrol engine and an electric one and can switch between both. Around town it can cruise virtually silent on the electric motor alone.<\/p>\n

First impression of the new GS 450h<\/strong> Featuring an all new design inside and out the new GS has all the bells and whistles you could dream of.<\/p>\n

What about the interior?
\n<\/strong>Inside the GS is very smart and classy and on a par with the best that Audi can offer. The driving position is excellent and it is supremely comfortable and luxurious throughout. Head room and overall space is good throughout. A common issue with hybrid cars is the lack of space in the boot due to the battery\u00a0but in the GS overall\u00a0luggage space has been increased by 60% so there is no compromise there.<\/p>\n

And on the road?<\/strong>
\nLexus GS 450h and the city:<\/strong> With responsive steering, it is balanced and poised and zips around town.
\nLexus GS 450h and the open road:<\/strong> The GS is designed to soak up the miles at good speed and its makes light work of motorways.<\/p>\n

How Much? <\/strong>Prices for the Lexus GS 450h start from \u20ac59,950 for the Executive grade. The F Sport will start from \u20ac72,950, with prices for the Premium grade starting from \u20ac76,250.<\/p>\n

How Safe? <\/strong>The new Lexus GS is equipped with some of the most technologically advanced pre-emptive, active and passive safety and driver assistance systems available on the market today.<\/p>\n

What are my choices? <\/strong>There are three different trim levels, the entry level Executive, the F Sport and the Premium level.<\/strong><\/p>\n
