Lexus Displaying Next-Generation 'GS 250' at Auto Guangzhou 2011
Guangzhou, China, November 21, 2011―Lexus is displaying the all-new "GS 250" at the 9th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition, open from today until November 28. The show is open to the press today, and will be open for the public from November 22 through 28.
GS 250
The GS 250 is the third model in the new GS lineup, after the previously unveiled "GS 350" and "GS 450h" top-end model. The GS 250 shares the same framework as its siblings, including the signature spindle grill*, as well as a completely redesigned platform and suspension.
The GS 250 features the 4GR-FSE, a 2.5-liter V6 engine and "6 Super ECT", a six-speed automatic transmission with optimized gear ratio and power ample enough to belie vehicle weight, offer pleasant handling and emit satisfying acceleration sound.
In addition to the GS 250, the Lexus booth will feature the "LS 600hL" and the "CT 200h".
The GS 250 is scheduled for launch in Japan around the start of 2012.
