Entry point to the new GS range is the GS 250 SE, powered by a 206 bhp 2.5-litre V6 Dual VVT-i petrol engine, which will be available from £32,995.
The GS 250 SE specification includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic bi-xenon headlamps and windscreen wipers, LED daytime running lights and a rear-view camera with parking guide monitor.

The steering wheel is electrically adjustable and incorporates paddle shifts. On-board entertainment is provided by a 12-speaker audio system with CD player, DAB tuner, Bluetooth and USB/Aux ports for connecting personal music players.
Both the GS 250 and full hybrid GS 450h are offered in Luxury and F Sport grade. Luxury builds on the SE specification with 18-inch alloys, front and rear parking sensors, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and an HDD satellite navigation system with Remote Touch controller, as well as a new blind spot detection system integrated into the folding/auto-dimming door mirrors.
F Sport versions of the GS have 19-inch wheels, a boot-lip spoiler, sports-styled bumpers and front grille, bi-xenon headlights with an automatic high beam function, as well Lexus’s Adaptive Front-lighting System, which adjusts the beam direction as the car approaches bends and turns at junctions.
