Embrace the Journey: The 2014 Lexus GS Luxury Sedan

GS 350 and GS 450h ignite the senses with bold styling and advanced performance
 
(TORONTO) The Lexus GS is powerful and precise in performance and appearance. Advanced features, ground-breaking technologies and premium materials combine with a state of the art power train and finely-tuned handling to ignite the senses.
 
“The GS conveys the Lexus commitment to a progressive fusion of emotive styling and engineering expertise,” said Cyril Dimitris, Director of Lexus Canada. “With seating for five and a choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations, gasoline or the advanced power of the Lexus Hybrid Drive, and multiple options packages including F SPORT editions, there’s a GS for every Canadian who desires a performance-focused sedan that’s also comfortable, luxurious and intuitive.”
 
The GS line up makes a lasting impression at first sight. Athletically-sculpted lines, the Lexus signature spindle grille and a low centre of gravity convey elegance and power while commanding attention.
 
Inside, the driver and passengers are wrapped in a realm that is generous in dimension and welcoming in execution. Warm ambient lighting greets passengers on entry. Wood trim and soft touch materials set a relaxing tone. Premium details – such as the hand-crafted contrast stitching – delight the senses.
