Getting 28 Miles a Gallon: The Lexus GS450h for 2007

Lexus GS450h

The restyled GS450h Base is equipped with a Toyota 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 24 valves. The engine is paired with 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 has 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.

GS450h Base Statistics

The dimensions of the GS450h Base are 71.70 inches wide by 190.00 inches long. It sits a comfortable 56.10 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 112.20 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

There is a 50,000 mile, 48 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 70,000/72 miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The listed retail price in 2007 (MSRP) was $54,900, with an invoice cost of $48,312. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 2007 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 17.20 gallons.

The GS450h Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty five in-city driving and twenty eight when it came to long-distance. Being a electric/gas-powered hybrid car, this was subpar.

In Summary

The 2007 model year was unsuccessful for the Lexus GS450h. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
