Our Review of the 2008 Lexus GS450h Base
The GS450h Base is equipped with a Toyota 3.5 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The GS450h comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the GS450h Base are 71.70 inches wide by 191.10 inches long. It sits 57.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 109.30 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The standard warranty period for the GS450h is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $33,820 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $29,987. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2008 GS450h is a traditional SFI, running on ELECTRIC/GAS fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.
The 2008 GS450h gets 27 miles/gallon on the highway and only 19 in the city. This is subpar for a sedan car.
What We Think of the Lexus GS450h
The 2007 model began the promise of the Lexus GS450h. The 2008 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Lexus hopes that the GS450h Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
