Overview & Reviews

For 2009, the Lexus GS 450h gains a bit more trunk capacity, moving up from just 8 cubic feet to a less miniscule 11 cubes.

• Brisk performance, seamless hybrid efficiency, exceptionally quiet ride, outstanding fit and finish.

• Still smallish trunk, brake modulation could be smoother, fuel economy below what many people expect of a "hybrid."

  The best car Ive driven - 2009 Lexus GS 450h
  By Daniel Timofei - November 19 - 2:56 pm

  Great comfort for long drives, the noise is very low even at high speed, high and smooth acceleration, excellent stability, remarkable reliability, very robust mechanics suitable for bad roads, a wonderful car. Net superior to BMW 5 series and Mercedes E class in all aspects. "Zero" maintenance costs. The fuel economy is not that big for a sporty driving style.

  Love the blue - 2009 Lexus GS 450h
  By pat - November 4 - 4:26 pm

  I have had the car for about 18 months now and have very little complaints. My favorites are the engine, the fact that it is a hybrid, the H styling with blue trim. I do which the fuel tank was bigger. While getting 26 -27 MPG the tank is small so I still have to hit the pumps once a week. The trunk is small due to the battery. Overall, the most satisfied I have been with any new car I have ever purchased.

  Trunk - 2009 Lexus GS 450h
  By lucky - November 19 - 6:50 am

  Quite an excellent car after 9 months. No maintenance issues or malfunctions. 25 mpg in city traffic, 30 mpg on the highway. Those over 63" need more headroom. The fit and finish are flawless and the CVT runs quietly, smoothly and with uncanny power. The handling is excellent. The Navigation package and Mark Levinson sound system options are fantastic.

  One year and still in love - 2009 Lexus GS 450h
  By jimi - December 20 - 12:16 pm

  Awesome passing power, with or without the power setting. I prefer the sport suspension even in everyday driving because I live in an area with a lot of tight turns. Good braking system allows for quick, controlled stops. The interior is comfortable and full of amenities. The Mark Levinson sound system is worth the added cost. Everyone complains about the small trunk and so do I. But at the end of the day Im willing to sacrifice the trunk space for the performance. Its not cheap but relative to its competition, namely the BMW 550i and the MB E550, it is a bargin plus it has better reliability, overall performance numbers and mpg. New or used it is a great car to own.
