Sure, the hybrid-powered GS450h may not be the sportiest of the GS family, including the 2013 Lexus GS350 F Sport we reviewed here, or even bigger sibling LS460. But with a respectable 286-hp and 254 lb.-ft. of torque, Lexus’s luxury 4-door hauler will save money at the pump while still offering decent performance. The 0-60 in 5.7-seconds isn’t anything to brag about, its fuel-savings when compared to the gas-powered GS mid-size sedan models may be something that matters to you. Here’s a look at the 2013 GS450h’s key specs and features, including the expensive Luxury Package add-on.
