2013 Lexus GS Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
For its second generation as the 350, the 4th-generation Lexus GS sedan finally fills its midsize britches. An elegantly aggressive style now graces the wholly redesigned 2013 GS 350, and under the hood Lexus added greater efficiency, improved performance and vastly revamped the driving dynamics to match the new look and latest addition. A mid-cycle refresh isn't likely until 2016, but with an act like the 2013 to follow, Lexus might be hard-pressed to make its drivers' smiles any wider.
Speaking of wider, this year's edition is 1 inch wider and longer-legged than before, and about 300 pounds heavier. Lexus made sure to shave off as much weight as it could with the new materials, forgoing the previously standard first aid kit, heated seats and a lot of alloy trim in the process of making the 2013 GS 350 into a performance machine. Although those 3 extra points in the figures for this year's 3.5-liter V6 might go unnoticed given the same 5.7-second 0-60 mph time, it's still nice to know you have 306 ponies and 277 lb-ft of torque at your beck and call and the option of an F Sport trim for more aggressive thrills.
In spite of that added weight and amped engine, the 2013 GS 350 still manages to pull out a couple of extra miles per gallon over its predecessor with the same 6-speed auto-manual and nets 19 mpg city/28 highway in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) versions or 19/26 with all-wheel drive (AWD); this year's AWD economy matches that of the 2012 RWD version. Of course I haven't even mentioned the best part yet. With a tweak to the steering ratio here and a little torque on the suspension there, Lexus brings a few of the lessons learned in making its latest F Performance flagship—the 2012 LFA—within an affordable reach by endowing the 2013 GS 350 with German-like confidence and grace. She's stiffer than before, but that's the point, right?
The F Sport trim turns up the performance with several visual and mechanical enhancements, but leaving the engine and most everything else alone, focusing instead on driving dynamics. Its stance is 2 inches broader with an all-new multilink rear suspension, and the front suspension is likewise beefed up, every bit of it with aluminum to keep the weight down. Every performance rock was flipped over, from anti-roll bars to spings and brakes. Variable dampening locks the F Sport to the road for high-speed maneuvers, and the Sport+ mode also turns up the throttle response.
Most interesting of all the F Sport's new features is an oddly well-executed rear steering system. Under 50 mph the rear wheels turn opposite the fronts for tighter turns, and the rears turn slightly in the same direction as the fronts for better stability at high speeds. There's none of the wobble and oversteer so typical of these systems, but such a lightly-weighted steering doesn't seem right in such a beastly machine. Nevertheless, it works, and it works very well.
Hip- and headroom are up a couple of inches, but the trunk shrunk by a full cube for 14.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. Materials changed quite a bit as well, cutting back on the metallics in favor of more soft leather and glossy wood trims. Notable inclusions on the long-winded standard-equipment list are a power-closing trunk lid, 10-way power front seats with driver's memory, full Bluetooth connectivity, an 8-inch touchpad control interface, power rear sunshade, sunroof and a 12-speaker Surround-Sound system with CD player, satellite radio, HD radio and USB/iPod connectivity. The F Sport notably gets a massive 12-inch touchpad control display and 12-way seats, by default.
The Luxury option package now adds adaptive suspension dampers alongside all of last year's list, including features like bigger wheels, softer leather upholstery, heated and cooled powered 18-way front seats, and rear controls for the climate and audio systems. Opt for the Cold Weather package to get those heated rear seats plus a heated steering wheel, headlight washers and wiper de-icer.
Highlights of the a la carte selection of options include blind-spot detection, a head-up display, parking assist, lane-departure warning and keeping assist, dynamic rear steering, a night vision camera and basically anything your secret agent heart desires—except for a wristwatch transponder (that one is still all Aston Martin), but for a few hundred grand less, this Lexus comes daringly close.

No vehicle comes close except the ES 350. ES 350 is more for cruising and families, GS 350 is more sport and one notch above to the next level. I will only own Lexus since they are made in japan at the highest quality. Apr 17, 2024

Hands down a fun engine to use and the sound tweek in Sport mode helps improve the fun. The handling is a bit stiffer in all modes than i would have expected. Great for manoeuvres but not so hot cruising on long open roads. As for the electronics; definitely dated and just behind current abilities. Navigation is not the most intuitive with many many extra steps. Most current cars tell you when certain maintenance is required, i.e. oil change, air filter, etc. This model you have to manually enter the intervals. Overall fun to drive but if able to get just a couple years newer you will get the full benefits of performance and technology. If technology isnt a priority than I would highly recommend this one.

This car is great!! the car has some awesome features and drives so smooth. I love this car. There is no comparison. The car is great for the value although it had more miles than what I would have liked; it is has a Toyota engine which is fairly inexpensive to maintain. I look forward to many years of happy driving in this luxurious car.Sep 13, 2021

Its only been a week and change since purchased, but so far I am quite impressed with my GS 350. Fast and quite. The body style isnt too standoff -ish, compare to many of its contemporaries (Acura, Infinity, etc...). The interior design definitely says luxury with heated seats, plenty of leg rooms and control features ,also accessible in the rear seats. It takes a hit in fuel consumption, but thats understandable being a V6. I have the AWD model and cannot wait to test it out come winter. So yes, overall, I am quite happy with my Lexus GS 350 AWD!Aug 28, 2021

It looks great. Said there was 1 accident but I didn’t see where and I didn’t drive it or ask. I just stopped by. Beautiful car, many features. I drive an older Lexus ES 350 but am looking for an awd here in Syracuse, NY where I live with snow and slush. I love my car, might get a winter rat awd. Anyway this car has no rust, scratches etc.Jan 23, 2021

What you would expect from Lexus. I was bummed to hear Lexus was stopping production. It’s a nice driver in its segment. Plenty of power, a great exhaust note, and fit and finish that you’d expect from this brand. Mine is an F-Sport so it has the active handling package. You can feel the difference between modes. The interior is very comfortable and well appointed. The onboard technology is well done and easy to use. Overall very pleased with the car. It’s a shame they are going away from the Lexus lineup.Nov 27, 2020

Getting a combined 22 mpg on Premium gas, its expensive to operate.
The stock Dunlop tires lasted a good long time for me, but the replacements were hard to find and expensive.
All that said, this is my favorite car ever. The best blend of sport, luxury, and four door practicality. The manual gearbox is much improved over the version they have in the previous ISF that I owned before this one. That gearbox didn't now what to do with itself at slow speeds around town. Was great on the track. This is much more well behaved and predictable.
Its expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you can afford it, it is the best in its class. And less than some others in its class. If you're shopping at this price range, it is probably not a factor anyway. Sep 02, 2014

Overall I love this car. The big disappointment was having this nice screen yet no youtube or dvd capabilities. The sport plus mode is all that and a bag of chips. You will not be disappointed with this purchase although price is a little highNov 04, 2012
What users have asked
2013 Lexus GS350 Low tire warning light
When the low tire warning light comes on, is there a way, besides hand check pressure in each tire, to tell which tire is low? I'm migrating from a BMW which indicated which tire was low.
