Lexus GS Hybrid



Introducing the world's first luxury hybrid performance sedan: the GS 450h. With its rear-wheel drive, uncompromised luxury and incredible power, this future Lexus is certain to please. It features a new hybrid powertrain that merges a 3.5-liter V6 engine with a high-output electric-drive motor. Together they provide a combined force of more than 300 horsepower

[1] not to mention smooth, continuous acceleration.
Of course, there are other benefits to owning a performance sedan with hybrid technology. Superior fuel economy and the comfort of knowing you're driving a vehicle that meets the Super Ultra-Low Emission (SULEV) standard, for example. The GS 450h will be available in spring 2006. To learn more, select from the buttons below. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease.

[3] Lexus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details.

[4] Tires fitted with 18-in. wheels are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 15,000 miles depending on driving conditions.

[5] The Lexus DVD Navigation System is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest. Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Changes in street names, road closures, traffic flow or other road system changes may affect the accuracy of the mapping software. Rely upon your common sense to decide whether or not to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available in every city. Optional periodic geographic updates available at an additional cost. See your Navigation System Owner's Manual and your Lexus dealer for details.

[6] The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the entire rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.

[7] The Lexus Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. See your Owner's Manual for details.

[8] Lexus recommends the phones listed on its Web site at www.lexus.letstalk.com because they have been tested and meet our high standards for voice quality and functionality.
