Overview

The 2016 Lexus GS 350 makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan segment. With standalone trim on offer, the Lexus GS 350 has a base MSRP of $50,000. It competes directly with the Volvo S90, the BMW 5 Series, and the Acura RLX. Only a 3.5L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission or an 8-speed automatic transmission depending on the drivetrain. Together, they produce 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, the GS 350 maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Lexus offers the GS 350 in 10 stunning colors, with the Eminent White Pearl being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Lexus GS 350 can be configured to best suit your needs. Selecting the F Sport package enhances the sporty performance cues, whereas the Luxury package adds adaptive suspension among several other features that tune it perfectly for luxury and comfort.
