About the Lexus GS L10
The L10-generation Lexus GS 300h was introduced as a more fuel-efficient alternative to the GS 450h, specifically targeting the European executive market dominated by diesel rivals. The Premier trim represents the top of the range, featuring a 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, three-zone climate control, and 18-way adjustable front seats. While it lacks the outright pace of its German competitors, it excels in refinement, cabin material quality, and long-distance comfort. The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with an electric motor for smooth, linear power delivery.
