Lexus Malaysia has opened order books for the all new Lexus GS, which means you can now put your name down to be one of the first owners of the GS when it arrives soon.
First unveiled at last year’s Pebble Beach show in the US, Lexus’ challenger to the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6 is a huge departure from the car it replaces, looking more dynamic and sporty than its German classmates, something it has never been before this generation.

There are quite a few variants to choose from. Lexus Malaysia will import in the GS 250, GS 250 Luxury and GS 350 Luxury. By the way, this is the first time Lexus is putting an engine below 3.0L in the GS, allowing it to better match German rivals, who all have lower entry points. F-Sport variants for both engines will also be available.
The GS 250 is powered by a 2.5-litre V6 with D-4S direct port injection and Dual VVT-i. Maximum output is 206 hp at 6,400rpm and peak torque of 253 Nm is delivered at 4,800 rpm. 0-100 km/h is done in 8.6 seconds on to a top speed of 228 km/h. The V6 is matched to a Super ECT-i close-ratio intelligent six-speed automatic transmission, with sequential manual shift function. It’s likely that most GS buyers will opt for this engine.

There’s also a good selection of colours available, both for the exterior and cabin. Prices range from RM370k to RM488k OTR excluding insurance. We’ve seen it in the metal and sat in it before, at motor shows, and can say that the GS has never been more desirable.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the new Lexus GS highlight skepticism about its performance and value, with many believing the car is overpriced compared to European competitors like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. Enthusiasts note that Lexus, traditionally known for reliability, may lag in performance, especially considering recent European advancements in turbocharged engines. Several commenters criticize the pricing, suggesting it is too high for what the model offers, and some dismiss the car as merely a luxury Toyota. Others compare the GS unfavorably to German rivals, emphasizing the perceived lack of modern turbo technology and sporty driving dynamics. A few appreciate the design and interior quality, but overall, the sentiment leans towards doubts about the car's competitiveness and value proposition in the luxury sedan segment.
