Overview

The 2017 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 $50,365. 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 8 stunning colors, with the Eminent White Pearl being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Our recommendation is the rear-wheel-drive version of the GS 350 which comes with 8-speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, we also advise the Luxury Package which costs $4,435.
