Exterior

With overall dimensions (length x width x height) of 4880 x 1840 x 1455 mm, the Lexus GS Turbo has a moderately slim appearance of an elegant sedan, suitable for every family. The car has an extremely prominent appearance with a large spindle-shaped grille extending from the hood to the chassis, expressing the strong and dynamic beauty of the L-finesse language typical of Lexus.

Similar to other Lexus models, the headlight cluster also uses full LED technology to exude the sophisticated mark typical of luxury cars, supporting automatic adjustment of headlight brightness according to cornering angle to increase visibility for the driver. The car's LED daytime running lights create an L-shape with an unmistakable lighting effect. A notable point is that the front fog lights are just normal lenses.

The GS Turbo – GS 300’s side panels are decorated with slender lines running along the entire body, adding to the car’s luxurious appearance. In addition, the highlight is the pair of rearview mirrors that can automatically fold and have separate memory.

The ceiling is equipped with a sunroof, providing fresh air for the cabin, with a tilt/slide feature with a one-touch anti-jamming mode for passenger safety.

With a distinctive L-shaped design, the LED taillight system makes the car stand out even more with its long and sharp shape, making it easy for people to recognize it as a classy Lexus even at night.

Lexus GS Turbo (Lexus GS 300)  has a diverse color spectrum for consumers to choose from such as: Sonic Silver, Black, Sonic Quartz White, Deep Blue Mica, Amber Crystal Shine Brown, Mica Crystal Shine Red and Sonic Titanium Gray.

Interior

The GS Turbo or GS 300 2024 offers a spacious cabin with a wheelbase of 2850 mm, enough for the driver and passengers to comfortably rest their legs. The GS Turbo's dashboard is crafted from high-quality wood, covered with modern leather and placed in the center of the cockpit, impressing with an 8-inch LCD screen, allowing the driver to interact with the car's audio system as well as the air conditioning system.

The GS steering wheel is exquisitely detailed, wrapped in genuine leather and double-stitched, affirming the luxury of a Lexus vehicle, meticulously crafted from Shimamoku wood and covered in premium leather, and integrated with multi-function control buttons. The car's gear lever is also trimmed in beautiful leather and designed to fit the hand perfectly, a testament to Lexus' meticulous attention to detail.

The car uses a modern Optitron instrument cluster, significantly improving visibility and helping the driver avoid eye strain. This equipment has extremely clear illumination, providing excellent visibility regardless of time and driving conditions, and also integrates a 3.5-inch TFT multi-information display.

The GS Turbo 's windshield also uses advanced information display technology, allowing the driver to focus on the road while still being able to check necessary information such as speed, cruise control, audio system and speed.

The GS's audio system features Ipod/USB connectivity, AM/FM radio, DVD player, and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson system, providing the driver and passengers with the most realistic and vivid sound experience.

The car's independent 3-zone air conditioning system, combined with the S-FLOW energy-saving air-circulation system and equipped with a nano-technology deodorizing filter system, releases ultra-small particles with negative charges into the cabin. By harmonizing with air molecules, these nano ions help clean the air in the cabin and optimally deodorize the seats and upholstery in the car.

The GS Turbo's most impressive feature is the premium semi-aniline leather seats, designed and installed by the manufacturer. The luxurious and spacious front passenger seats can be electrically adjusted up to 18 ways and the 4-way electric headrests provide maximum comfort, along with pelvic, shoulder and calf support for a great sitting feeling.

In addition, the driver and front seat passengers can also enjoy a luxurious feeling of comfort with additional features such as an inflatable backrest system, seats with thigh support cushions of different lengths and short lengths. The rear seats have an armrest in the middle of the rear seat with a switch to control the air conditioning and sound system.

The rear sunshade is electrically adjustable, while the rear side window sunshade is manually adjustable only.

Operate

Lexus GS Turbo (Lexus GS 300 2024) owns a 2.0L 16-valve dual camshaft engine with dual intelligent variable valve timing and direct fuel injection turbocharger for a maximum capacity of 241 horsepower at 5800 rpm and maximum torque of 350 Nm at 1650-4400 rpm.

The power of the GS Turbo engine is also demonstrated in its ability to accelerate within 7.3 seconds to reach a maximum speed of 230 km/h, an incredible speed. The 8-speed automatic transmission combines a turbocharged engine and electric power steering, helping to accelerate, control smoothly and almost imperceptibly shift gears.

The car has 3 driving modes: Fuel Economy mode helps reduce emissions and fuel consumption. Meanwhile, Sport “S” mode adjusts the powertrain for stronger steering response. Sport “S+” mode also controls the chassis system and EPS electric power steering to increase the feeling of excitement on the journey greatly.

The double wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear suspension and AVS adaptive damping system play an important role in precise steering as well as providing a smooth ride through the ability to allow each wheel to respond independently to road conditions.

The car's minimum turning radius is 5.3m, quite small so it is very flexible in movement. The 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels with 9 double spokes design and 235/45R18 tire specifications are not too outstanding for a city sedan.

In addition, other notable systems include TPWS tire pressure warning system, BSM blind spot warning, HAS hill start assist, TRC traction control, VSC body stabilization. Parking assist sensor helps to park the car very quickly.
