What Is the 2020 Lexus GS?
The 2020 Lexus GS is a mid-size luxury sedan that seats five people. The GS 350 is powered by a 311-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission goes in rear-wheel-drive models while all-wheel-drive versions get a six-speed automatic. The sporty rear-wheel-drive GS F features a 467-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 engine. Competitors include the BMW 5 Series, Volvo S90 and Audi A6.
What’s New on the 2020 Lexus GS?
A new Black Line Special Edition for F Sport versions of the GS 350 is available. Limited to 200 units, the cosmetic package includes gloss-black wheels, gloss-black grille inserts, black mirror caps and a black rear spoiler. Inside, the black leather interior is accented by red trim and carbon fiber. Meanwhile, the GS F adds standard matte-black 19-inch wheels and optional blue brake calipers.
What Features in the 2020 Lexus GS Are Most Important?
Standard features include a 12.3-inch dashboard screen, navigation, a power-adjustable steering column and a moonroof. Standard active safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning with steering assist.
Options include a Mark Levinson premium stereo, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel and a power trunk lid.
Should I Buy the 2020 Lexus GS?
The GS continues to offer plenty of refinement, not to mention real straight-line speed in GS F form. The GS 350’s available all-wheel drive is another bonus, especially for anyone cross-shopping this luxury sedan with a similarly posh SUV. It’s too bad the multimedia system interface is overly complicated.
