The interior is only the beginning of the luxurious accommodations you can expect.  There is leather upholstery, cooled and heated front seats, wood trim, Bluetooth, dual climate control, and keyless ignition all come standard.  The additional options for the Lexus GS 450h are even more impressive.  Everything from a navigation system to a 14-speaker audio system can be added to further personalize your vehicle.

Although the car seats five, the more accurate description should be that it seats four comfortably and five a bit less comfortably.  The elevated back seat can make seating three in the back a little uncomfortable but it can be done.  The genuine wood and aluminum trims look very modern and stylish.  One downside is that in certain light the wood can cast a glare.  There is also a lot less trunk space than in the other GS models, this is due to the battery pack placement.

The separate 3.5-liter engine and the electric motor give the Lexus GS 450h an impressive 340 horsepower.  The transfer of power from the gas motor to the electric is seamless and you will not notice any change in noise that is common with other hybrid models.  The Lexus GS 450h achieves 25 mph on the highway, which may not seem like a lot in comparison with other hybrids.  But when you compare it to vehicles of the same style that very impressive.

The 2009 Lexus GS 450h is a very smooth and responsive ride.  The two modes of operation, Comfort and Sport, will adjust its performance to your every whim.  The brakes can be a bit touchy at first, but this is very quickly adjusted to.  The potent performance combined with hybrid efficiency make the Lexus GS 450h one of the finest and most modern cars currently on the market.
