The third generation GS was introduced in 2006 with 3.0 L V6 and 4.3 L V8 engines. Equipped with 3.0, 4.3 liter petrol engines or Lexus hybrid, the cars stand out for their excellent technical data. The GS model is also available with an all-wheel drive system - the first Lexus with all-wheel drive. This GS model is also the first Lexus to have a so-called L-finesse design style. It is characterized by a dynamic style, intertwined subtle lines, hatchback profile - the car predicts the direction that Lexus designers will follow in the near future. GS interior is a combination of sophisticated luxury, modern style and intelligent technologies. GS sedans are also the first Lexus to have a SmartAccess keyless locking system - the car is started at the touch of a button. However, in 2007, Lexus dropped from 1 place to 5 in the user feedback rankings due to the unreliable all-wheel drive and audio system.
