The Lexus GS 300 was, at three years old, still in its infancy in the 1995 model year. As a result, there were no evident changes from its predecessors.

In the early years the vehicle was offered as a single model and had limited features and options. But it was still a luxury sports sedan in almost every sense of the word, complete with a 3.0 liter, 220 horsepower engine.

One driver did say he had to "learn to pack accordingly" because of the cars limited trunk space, but complaints for the four-door sedan were few. Comfort and performance scored high with drivers and owners.
