The 2013 Lexus GS350 is the fourth generation of the company’s mid-range sedan which will be the standard-bearer of Lexus’s new, more “passionate” approach to the premium-car market. The 2013 Lexus GS350 debuts a new design philosophy, though it appears that whoever penned the car spent more time studying the latter of those two disciplines. The refreshed car’s lower deck lid gives the 2013 Lexus GS350 a more athletic stance, but the overall package underwhelms.
The 2013 Lexus GS350 has its own personality but is as impressive any other car in its crowded and competent class. The company has not yet announced the 2013 Lexus GS350 pricing but we expect the 2013 Lexus GS 350 price to start in the $48,000-to-$50,000 range. The 2013 Lexus GS350 now wears a sharp and scowling face, but there’s little about the rest of the GS’s styling that’s shocking or screams for attention.
The 2013 Lexus GS350 styling is considerably, and thankfully, more subtle than the frankly hideous LF-Gh concept car from this year’s New York Auto Show. The 2013 Lexus GS350 sits on a two-inch-wider track, giving it a more planted look. The 2013 Lexus GS350 is, as is the fashion, festooned with LEDs front and rear.
The 2013 Lexus GS350 one truly distinctive visual signature is a new front grille shape that Lexus calls “spindle” shaped; the 2013 Lexus GS 350 looks something like a large square grille that been cinched in about two-thirds of the way up either side. Inside the 2013 Lexus GS350, it becomes even clearer that Lexus has been studying the Bavarians. The 2013 Lexus GS350 instrument panel not only resembles the 5 Series, it feels like it when you’re behind the wheel; except its better.
Certainly, Lexus has loaded up the 2013 Lexus GS350 with a whole bag of new tricks, but its core is largely carryover.

The 2013 Lexus GS350 engine makes 306 hp at 6400 rpm and 277 lb-ft of torque at 4800.
The 2013 Lexus GS350 uses the same six-speed, sequential-shift automatic, but with paddle shifters in addition to a standard shift lever. 2013 Lexus GS350 will be available in rear or all-wheel-drive versions. The base, Premium and Luxury trims are more similar than they are different, with the Luxury package getting the adaptive part of the 2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport trick suspension, but not the rest.
