The GS is available with either a 12-speaker Lexus GS Premium SoundSystem that represents the next generation of clarity in Lexus sound, or anoptional 17-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System.Delivering 7.1-channel digital surround sound, this peerless top-of-the-rangesystem provides a true live concert experience for enjoying music andwatching DVDs. The careful positioning of the five main speakers givesbeautifully consistent sound for both front and rear seat occupants, resultingin a superb level of definition, atmosphere and quality.
The powerful yet energy efficient S-Flow technology provides climate control only to the zones that are occupied. Switching on the S-Flow cuts air conditioning for the rear seats. For models with optional 3-zone independent temperature controls, air conditioning of the front passenger’s side is also cut automatically when the seat isn’t occupied, further contributing to energy efficient control. Switching to Eco Mode provides intelligent control of the air conditioning, to help reduce overall power consumption.
The spacious and tranquil cabin of the GS provides excellent support, to keep you serenely relaxed even on long journeys. Behind the beautifully crafted steering wheel,the sumptuous front seats have 18-way electric adjustments (Optional) for tailored comfort, with the shoulder, side, lumbar and pelvic supports, and seat cushion length all multi-adjustable for personal preference. It also features a low hip point for an engaging drive. The front seat passenger can enjoy the luxury of an electrically extending seat cushion for enhanced thigh and calf support (Optional).
The rear seats feature a center armrest with convenient cupholders. An integrated control panel lets occupants adjust the audio system, seat recline and other settings, further enhancing passenger pleasure.
The damping force at all four wheels is intelligentlycontrolled by AVS in response to road surfaceconditions and driver input. This not only contributes toexcellent ride comfort, but also enhances handlingstability and road holding.
LDH elevates driving performance to a new dimension. Together with EPS (Electric Power Steering), VGRS(Variable Gear Ratio Steering) and DRS (Dynamic Rear Steering) control all four wheels independently. At low tomedium speeds, the front and rear wheels turn at slightly opposing angles. This significantly reduces the turning radius for excellent maneuverability at low speeds, while sharpening the steering feel when driving along winding countryroads.
The multi-link type, electronically controlled air suspension with AVS delivers a high level of flat ride comfort together with outstanding linear steering feel. The system links control of the suspension on all four wheels to simultaneously damp bounce, roll and pitch. The multi-link front and rear suspension incorporates FAD Shock Absorbers to suppress small and rapid oscillations, contributing to ride comfort and handling stability in various driving conditions.
The GS has been significantly reengineered to deliver a very engaging andpleasurable drive. In addition to enhancing the torsional rigidity of the bodyshell,Lexus developed an airflow management concept called ‘aerodynamic damping’.Inspired by the Lexus LFA V10 supercar, it moves airflow close to the vehiclebody to enhance handling, smoothes the flow in and around the wheel arches,and reduces air pressure within the arch itself.
Trunk-through functionality enables the carrying of longer items that won’t fit in the trunk.
