"Lexus GS300" - reviews of owners, technical specifications, photo

Cars "Lexus" - the standard for many. Advertising companies are losing a lot of money and popularity is not quenched. But for motorists, expectations are not always justified. For those who are interested in the GS300, this article will be an excitement, or maybe a disappointment. Despite everything, it will be useful to everyone. Characteristics and reviews of those who personally met with the qualities of the car - information for each motorist.

About the car from the company "Lexus"

"Lexus GS300" has a 24-valve V6 engine. The 3-liter engine has a capacity of 2995 cm ³ , and the transmission has 6 steps, which made the car not just comfortable, but also powerful, sporty and economical. The creators of the model "Lexus GS300" achieved this result by applying innovative fuel injection technology. Due to this system, the compression ratio of the engine opens the potential by 100%.

Easy Injection

The new injectors received unique slit nozzles, due to which the fuel enters the combustion chamber with the finest streams. As a result, the air-fuel mixture became better, allowing the engine to show all the best characteristics.

Minimization of the harm of processed fuel

The combustion chamber acquired asymmetry, which positively affected the output power. Increased throttle response and torque due to the Dual VVT-i system. It regulates the gas distribution in the valves, reduces the content of pollutants in the processed fuel, minimizes the content of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.

Level of comfort

Comfort was not abolished in the car "Lexus GS300". The engine, although it switched to a new power stage, did not affect the noise level negatively. When developing advanced "Lexus" crankshaft, which in this model forged and hard, was as balanced as possible. This reduced vibration and noise levels while driving.

In order to reduce the weight of the car, the engine was lightened by aluminum. It consists of a block of cylinders, which was created under pressure. The exhaust manifold also became lighter - the material for it was chosen polymer.

"Lexus GS300". Specifications

The engine of the updated "Lexus" at 6200 rpm acquired a capacity of 249 liters. from. Its torque at 3500 rpm reached the level of 310 Nm. Now it can accelerate to 100 km / h in just 7.2 seconds and is able to hit many by its speed on the roads - 240 km / h.

Design of disks - as without it?

The developers took care of the design of new 17-inch disks for the model "Lexus GS300". Photos show all the chic new development.

New suspension

The suspension has adaptive adjustment of AVS stiffness. This system is included in the "standard" package. Now you can control the work of shock absorbers, choosing between modes. Normal mode speaks for itself - it's for normal speed on ordinary roads. Sport - for those who want to control the car on the road at more respectable speeds. In addition, this mode improves controllability. The unique AVS system, regardless of the selected mode, continues to monitor the condition of each wheel individually and optimally adjust the suspension.

Power

To increase the car's performance characteristics, as well as its stability and traction control, the Lexus GS300 was equipped with an integrated control system VDIM. It is she who controls the dynamics of the car. The car is equipped with a set of sensors that transmit the indicators to the system. Since all systems operate on electronics, based on the values, it corrects the work of ABS, EBD (brake force distribution), VSC (traction stability) TRC (tamper resistance), and EPS (power steering).

The engine compartment is equipped with an aerodynamic casing, which is located in its lower part. The gaps of the radiator grating are also minimized. As a result, aerodynamic characteristics have significantly improved. This could not but affect the amount of CO ₂ emissions - they have significantly decreased. If earlier the indicator was at the level of 232 g / km, now it is 226 g / km.

In addition to the above characteristics, the Lexus GS 300 has:

• Power 183 kW;
• Drive to the rear axle;
• Airbags equipped with sensors capable of determining the impact force, in an amount of 10 pieces;
• Standard leather upholstery and a semi-aniline option;
• Sensory multimedia and navigation systems.

Manufacturers made a good advertisement for the model "Lexus GS300". Real feedback of car owners helped to make a complete picture and learn both about the advantages and disadvantages of the model. In which direction your opinion will turn, depends on your priorities.

Interior: trim, buttons, control levers

Ergonomics is thought out for the driver to the smallest detail. Anatomical seats are easy to adjust, the adjustment is stored in memory if desired. All this allows you to feel good at long journeys. Laconic, no frills, control buttons and levers are made of quality material. All secondary functions are prudently controlled through the touch screen of the control panel.

Upholstery made of soft genuine leather good quality. The torpedo is made of plastic "under the skin" is not convincing. Perception of the upholstery of the ceiling - quality for 3+. But it does not affect comfort while driving.

Overview

The visibility is good ahead thanks to the low hood. Overview rear provides parktronic, although motorists who are accustomed to using the inside mirror can use it - there are no shortcomings.

Dynamics, characteristics of the engine, gearbox.

As promised by manufacturers of Lexus, noise inside the cabin is almost absent. The power corresponds to the claimed and is quite satisfactory, if we take into account the volume of the engine. On the gearbox there are no complaints - the interaction with the motor is ideal, it is worked out qualitatively. There is a function of manual gearshift, useful downshifts and a PWR button that adds energy to the car. This will appeal to lovers of a fast ride. The dynamics are excellent. Moving around the city does not require a lot of power, and along the road it goes quietly at a speed of 240 km / h.

Fuel consumption

In the city, the fuel consumption of the Lexus GS300 reaches 12-15 liters. With moderate driving outside the city - up to 10 liters. For fans of speed, the pleasure will cost 15-17 liters per 100 km. As in other cars, the consumption varies depending on the driving style, rubber, use of the air conditioner, etc. In general, for such a car a bit too much.

Suspension. Brakes

"Lexus GS300" received a good suspension, which is adapted to the sporting manner of motion. It is a little harsh, which is a plus when driving at high speed, but not at low speed. In winter, it's difficult to get off the ice, if studded tires are installed. In the hill it's even more difficult, even when using lower gears. In the car, the stabilization system functions perfectly. It perfectly stabilizes the trajectory of motion in critical situations, identifying them in advance and issuing warning signals before the action begins. It can be turned off, but there's no point in doing it - VSC does its job well. In the automatic transmission there is a winter regime, which also has positive reviews. The brakes are too soft for such a car. Sports driving, which is provided in the model, requires more stringent. They slightly lag behind in the reaction, but the emergency braking is in order, the driver will not make a mistake. "Lexus GS300" in this respect is quite a safe car.

Trunk

The luggage compartment is quite roomy. For bags with things, tourist equipment and packages with products of the place is enough.

Advantages and disadvantages

The "Lexus GS300" proved to be a great business car. The level of comfort at altitude, has the nature of a sports car. The interior filling is functional, and the exterior design allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of the model "Lexus GS300". Photos do not convey the perfection of design. For the driver everything is provided, the passengers are comfortable. The car is absolutely appealing to energetic people who like speed and comfort in one bottle. Sports driving does not cause trouble, the GS300 keeps confidently on the track at high speeds.

Of the shortcomings, there are mostly minor problems. Lexus GS300 for all its equipment does not have remote control of the trunk. It would not hurt to improve the finish of the torpedo and the ceiling, which for this price are made for "C grade". For a car of such a high level, it would not be superfluous to have an automatic rain sensor, a multi-wheel and an improvement in the soundproofing of the cabin. For those who often have to go to the curbs, an unpleasant surprise will be a low landing - the chirping of the lower part of the bumper is ensured. And this problem is not eliminated, even if the low-profile rubber is replaced with the one recommended by the manufacturer. Putting more radius is not a way out. This immediately affects the controllability of the car and its safety. The fuel consumption is higher than expected for such a car. I would like to reduce it by a couple of liters for movement in different cycles.

All this information about the model "Lexus GS300" - reviews, specifications, photos - of course, can not fully affect your opinion about this car. But feedback about him adds confidence that driving on such a car will be comfortable and safe.
