“Sport” and “hybrid” aren’t often found in the same sentence when talking about anything this side ofMcLaren, 
Porsche, 
and BMW, but Lexus makes that claim with its second-largest luxury sedan.

Things gets plausible when considering the GS450h comes with 338 horsepower thanks to a 3.5-liter V-6 and a pair of electric motors – all of which power the rear wheels.

Despite not coming equipped with the optional F Sport package, the G450h still comes with an adjustable suspension and various drive settings that allow for a range of driving feels, spanning from Eco to Normal and Sport to Sport+. Even the gauge cluster modifies itself to suit the mood – switching from an eco gauge to a full tachometer.

You may recall our own Christian Moe’s review of the GS450h back in the fall.
of the GS450h back in the fall.
He walked away pleasantly surprised at the car’s ability to coddle occupants in luxury while getting decent mileage with horsepower in reserve.
Surprisingly his tester and mine came equipped with exactly the same options, even down to the paint color.
Only eight GS sedan separated our cars on the assembly line as the VINs were only separated by a factor of 10.
While Moe has the beauty of curvy back country roads snaking through the hills of East Tennessee, I make use of near sea-level lands in central Florida.
Would the scenery and altitude change the GS450h’s behavior? How well does a child seat fit in the back?
Two questions among many I aimed to answer during my week with one of Lexus’ premiere hybrids.
