Lexus Australia will launch its most efficient GS model yet - the all-new
second generation GS 450h in June 2012.
Featuring an advanced petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain, the all-new GS 450h will be priced* from $99,900*
GS 450h's efficient hybrid powerplant consumes just 6.3 litres of fuel per 100 km** - 20 per
cent less than the outgoing model - while CO2 emissions are as low as 147 g/km**.
In keeping with Lexus' performance hybrid mantra, the frugal GS 450h develops a combined power output of 254 kW and
accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds.
GS 450h also features greater space and onboard technology than its predecessor.
An innovative stacked hybrid battery helps liberate 45 per cent more space for the boot - increasing from 320 to 465
litres - while the redesigned chassis delivers greater interior space for occupants.
The GS 450h also continues Lexus' hybrid firsts, with GS 450h becoming the world's first hybrid available with
all-wheel steering, the first to feature an Atkinson cycle engine driving the rear wheels, and the first Atkinson cycle
engine to feature direct and port injection.
The innovative Lexus GS 450h is well-specified, with the availability of an advanced Pre-Collision safety System
(PCS)#, a Driver Fatigue Monitor camera#, and a complementary
Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC)#, which now functions at all speeds down to 0 km/h.
GS 450h's safety suite is boosted by a Blind Spot Monitor# as standard to detect vehicles in
adjacent lanes, and an expanded Head Up Display (HUD) unit that can now display road speed, cruise control, gear
position, turn-by turn navigation and tachometer.
Building on the recently launched GS 250 and 350 range, the GS 450h also features an expanded line-up featuring
Luxury, F Sport and Sports Luxury models - replacing the previous single Sports Luxury.
Lexus Australia chief executive Tony Cramb said that the all-new GS 450h is a technological showcase.
"From its advanced hybrid drivetrain to its innovative onboard features, it is hard not to be impressed by the
all-new GS 450h hybrid," said Mr Cramb.
"This second generation GS 450h builds on a highly awarded first generation, improving it in almost every area,
including space, efficiency, onboard technology and value."
"Featuring a 20 per cent improvement in value, the all-new Lexus GS 450h will entice customers with its stylish
design, expanded model range, innovative features and engaging driving dynamics."

Ten Airbags for GS
Lexus' new GS 450h has 10 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) airbags as standard equipment.
The driver and front passenger are protected by advanced variable-stage SRS front airbags.
A twin-chamber passenger airbag, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front and rear seat side airbags, and
full-length curtain shield airbags are also included.
Sensors determine the severity of an impact and the speed with which the airbags are deployed.
The driver and front passenger knee airbags work together with the frontal airbags and seatbelts to achieve a better
distribution of the loads imposed on the body during an accident.
The passenger's knee airbag is mounted on the glove box lid.
The GS passive safety package also includes Whiplash-Injury Lessening front seats.
