Frequently Asked Questions
The Lexus GS was offered with a 2.5-litre V6 hybrid in the GS 300h producing 223 hp, a 3.5-litre V6 hybrid in the GS 450h with 345 hp, and a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 in the GS F producing 477 hp. European markets primarily received the GS 300h and GS 450h hybrid variants.
Used Lexus GS models in Portugal range from approximately 16,000 EUR for a 2013-2015 GS 300h to around 35,000 EUR for a late 2019-2020 model. The GS F performance variant commands a significant premium, typically selling between 40,000 EUR and 55,000 EUR due to its rarity and collector appeal.
The GS 300h achieves approximately 5.5 to 6.5 litres per 100 km in mixed driving, exceptional for a large rear-wheel-drive executive saloon. This makes it significantly more economical than diesel-powered equivalents from BMW and Mercedes, while providing the smooth, refined hybrid driving experience Lexus is known for.
The GS is renowned for reliability, but check the air suspension (if equipped on F Sport models) for consistent operation. Verify the Mark Levinson audio system functionality and inspect the infotainment system for any screen degradation on older models. The hybrid battery should be health-checked, though failures are extremely uncommon.
The GS offers the most reliable and lowest-cost ownership among these executive saloons, with exceptional build quality and hushed hybrid operation. The BMW 5 Series provides sportier handling, while the Mercedes E-Class leads on luxury and rear-seat comfort. The discontinued GS is becoming increasingly sought-after for its combination of value and quality.
The GS represents one of the best-value used executive saloons in Portugal, offering premium quality, hybrid efficiency, and Lexus reliability at prices well below equivalent German alternatives. Its discontinuation in 2020 means used supply is limited and values are stabilising, making current prices potentially the best entry point.
