Where the standard GS is a mild-mannered sedan, the hybrid version gives you such a sharp whack up the backside that the 450h is in a different performance league all together. The interior is palatial, handling is surprisingly good and it is painless fast.

The all-new 2013 Lexus GS 450h hybrid offers sharp handling, sharper styling, new features and added interior room. But the biggest change is the one you’re likely to care about the most: a major increase in fuel efficiency.

The 2013 Lexus GS 450h shows that tech can lead to excellent automotive performance while delivering outstanding fuel economy. At the same time, Lexus pushes the cabin technology with an advanced voice command system and very practical app integration.

The GS 450h is a niche car for now, but it proves that good hybrid-luxury-sporty cars are a reality. Critically for brand loyalists, there’s no degradation in ride quality.

The hybrid Lexus GS450h is a stone-reliable, luxurious performance machine that could cruise easily all day long at a hundred-plus m.p.h. down that mythical Highway of No Speed Limits.

The 2013 Lexus GS 450h has still got the sauce to back up its rep as a performance hybrid, but now it gets the kind of fuel economy for which owners could actually be smug about. And isn’t that the point of hybrids anyway?

The Lexus GS 450h accelerates like it doesn’t want to be eaten. Instant torque, party of one, your stoplight is ready. It’s the world’s first performance luxury hybrid, and we loved its performance. That’s right, love.

The 2010 Lexus GS 450h is a hybrid for enthusiasts, one that uses electricity for power and not just efficiency. What other mainstream hybrid goes 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds?

The 2010 Lexus GS 450h is a hybrid sports sedan that’s built for performance and the driving experience, but it won’t complain too loudly if you toss a couple of kids in the backseat.
