Lexus GS
The current-generation GS dates back to 2012 and the last major revision was made in 2016. Despite its venerable age, this midsize luxury sedan still has many great qualities, such as a refined driving experience, outstanding reliability and the standard Lexus Safety System+. The hybrid variant is no longer available, but we can choose either a GS 350 with all-wheel drive and a 311-horsepower V6 or the sporty GS F with rear-wheel drive and a 467-horsepower V8.
