2015 Lexus GS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2015 Lexus GS is a revised multimedia interface across the lineup. It is otherwise a light update, with a new Crafted Line special edition, the first GS 450h F SPORT package, and standard 18-inch wheels on the regular GS 350 and GS 450h.
About the 2015 Lexus GS
4th generation GS (2013-2020), fourth model year and the last year before the 2016 styling and tech refresh.
Lexus positions the GS as a midsize luxury sport sedan that blends sharp responses and rear-drive character with the brand’s quiet ride, comfort, and build quality. Rather than chasing the hardest-edged sport-sedan feel, the GS aims to give buyers strong performance and confident handling without sacrificing day-to-day refinement. The GS 350 is the core V6 choice, while the GS 450h adds stronger efficiency and a more tech-forward personality without giving up speed.
The GS 350 is the everyday sport-luxury model, pairing a 306-hp V6 with a quiet cabin, leather trim, and a moonroof. The 338-hp GS 450h combines stronger standard comfort equipment with a fuel-saving hybrid system, while the limited Crafted Line stands out with F SPORT suspension, 19-inch wheels, black exterior accents, and a black-and-red cabin.
