GS: PERFORMANCE SALOON

With generous standard equipment, the GS series has become one of the cornerstones across the Lexus range and this has been reflected in the three-year/60,000 mile August 2008 residual values from CAP.

Analysing the RV figures it is important to add in the cost of the optional extras that are required to bring the specification of the rivals up to the level of the Lexus vehicles. As a result predicted used car values will reduce.

The hybrid GS 450h 3.5-litre engine has no petrol-electric rivals, but with a carbon dioxide emissions figure of 186 g/km brings significant company car tax advantages for drivers over direct rivals from other premium brands.
