( www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2013 Lexus GS 350 AWD and the new GS450h hybrid are at the forefront of redefining the Lexus brand as more sporty and less staid. But while the hybrid gets much better fuel economy it is also much more expensive. So of course we not only wanted to find out which of these two cars is the better buy, but perhaps more importantly which one is more sporty. In other words, which one is faster to 60 MPH. Check out this Mashup Review as we put the newest Lexus and Lexus Hybrid to the test.

it's not the 0-60 mph that is important. it is the 30-50 mph and 50-70 mph that are important because those are passing and merging speeds scenarios. the gs450 outperforms the gs350 at these accelerations

@rscosworthfan Год назад

absolutely correct safer overtaking capibility

@ShermanMR2 12 лет назад

I drove both of these cars back to back, and there is a bit more magic with the 450h. It just feels nicer. Go ahead folks, drive them back to back and then comment. I'm buying this car over an equally priced BMW 535i.

i own the 2007 GS450h luxury , i can tell you that is better than any normal engine car in this class , combined luxury performance comfort equipment and safety , i want to forget normal cars that wear brakes a lot , wear clutches and gears , make a lot of noise for almost nothing and so on , and after 100k km you wait for alternator fail , starter fail , turbo on diesel fail , high pressure injectors fail etc . I own an VW and a Ford , maintenance cost is much more than diesel fuel savings

@kgisabeast 6 лет назад

Really wish they would've kept the GS460, I wanna upgrade from mine, but the 350 didn't feel quite as quick, and the F is just too much right now

@timtresch4848 3 года назад

thats why they got rid of the 460, it didn't sell that well and it allows Lexus to mark up the F sport to get a V8 in the car. The 450H isn't a terrible compromise if your buying used since it deprecates sooooo much.

@cottagegymfun 6 лет назад

I’m finally buying the GS, a used one. Impressed by Lexus, but want to go back to a sedan from my suv.

@dvspot 10 лет назад

@deftgio for a car that weigh over 3000 lbs and can achieve 0-60 mph in 5.5 sec @ sea level, with 300 flywheel HP is respectable.

@yadidimeanmaine 10 лет назад

The car is actually closer to 4,000 lbs with the hybrid weighing in at well over 4,000. Very impressive, indeed. With those kind of numbers I'd expext to see a couple of tiny turbines under hood but it's NA to boot. I think they may be fibbing a bit about the power output. My guess is it's around 300 in economy mode, but higher in sport mode.

@pk509 12 лет назад

No way I can afford either of these cars, but I sure enjoyed the Mashup Review. If I had the income to be shopping in this price range, I'd probably buy the hybrid.

0-60 in the 450H is under 6 seconds. So I guess the altitude is really a factor

@TheFriendlyPsychopath 2 месяца назад

@ShermanMR2 12 лет назад

Thanks for the reply Nathan. I would agree about the price difference but this car feels different in a more positive way than the 350. Besides price it's got a lot going for it. I most likely will be buying the 450h. On a side note thanks for doing what you do. I watch every one of your videos!!! I would love to meet you guys someday. Or maybe do a RUSH concert at Redrock. I love Colorado, Almost moved to Larkspur around a year ago. Beautiful State.

@DmitryIve Год назад

Have you ever bought one finally?

@CornerCarver 12 лет назад

5MPG is a big difference. You know what gets 5MPG less than a stock GS350h? A 4-cyl compact car, that's what. Compared to a 4-cyl compact car, GS450h is way quicker, and has more trunk space. If you take that into account, that extra $8000 is worth it in spades. Besides.. don't people pay $8000 more for engine option anyway? Look at C250 compared to a C350. There is more than $8000 gap there, and C350 uses more fuel than C250... at least GS450h gives you some savings compared to GS350.

@ShermanMR2 12 лет назад

Hey Nathan, did Roman seriously not like the 450h as much as he portrayed??? As I said in an earlier comment, I drove them back to back and thought that the 450h was a lot nicer.

@CornerCarver 12 лет назад

But is slower. And is a lighter car. Point of GS450h isn't about absolute fuel economy. It is still pushing around a big sedan (one that is heavier than a V6 Accord, with all the luxuries on board). The point is to enhance the already excellent V6 by making it quicker, AND give fuel economy savings at the same time. Just about any time you up the power in the same car, you give up fuel economy. GS450h does the opposite of that. You know what other car does that? Accord Hybrid.

@Cnt_Hide_ 3 года назад

I was looking for such a comparison. thank you! Now I know what i will choose :)

@nimlil 11 лет назад

They do what is called real world testing with 2 people at a much higher elevation. This usually ads around 1.5 - 2 seconds.

@mmedley9894 Год назад

Over 2secs in a GS

@MrT-nh6di 4 года назад

Either one both awesome cars!

@lilPhil15 8 лет назад

Roman is right. The GS 350 is a better choice over the GS 450h. Can't really justify paying $8,000 more for the hybrid powertrain just because it has 32 more horsepower and 5 extra miles per gallon. Might get a GS or an RX 350 in a few years.

@denjo2407 5 лет назад

My 2012 lexus gs450h fsport make the 60mph in 5.6 Sek at gps and on dyno i dont know What you are doing but its wrong

@NavyKings2007 11 лет назад

Ya'lls large following and views speak for themselves. You do a good job, and are obviously doing something right. I especially appreciate when you good cop/bad cop a car because I sometimes see cars I like through overly rose-tinted glasses. One point in favor of the 450H; as the owner of a V6 hybrid(Highlander), proper technique can net up to 10 or more extra mpg depending on your commute. I regularly average 35 city/32hwy in a 4500lb 7-pass CUV rated 27/25. Could likely see 40MPG in the 450H.

@JC130676 5 лет назад

Roman recommended the es350h! Why is he down in the gs450h? No consistency, just bad review, like the terrible music.

@NathanDAdlen 12 лет назад

He's a bit bent on the price differential. I see his point, but I think he has to see the logic in dollars before he can fully accept a vehicle. The GS350 feels a hair more lively around the bends and (I think) that's what makes him enjoy the non-hybrid more. I think he ate paint-chips as a kid too.

Is it just me or are both of these cars extremely slow? The 2007-2011 GS 450H 0-60 time is 5.2 seconds. Am I missing something?

@mangakunja5431 5 лет назад

You are right! I have the 2007 first model and with Goodyear wheels and sport mode I did it in 5.2 , 5.3, and 5.5 seconds. The fact is that it mostly accerelates very constantly and because of the weight in the back mostly without wheelspin (even in a super sports car you need a really good start to be faster :) So how in hell is it possible to need 7.2 or more in this newer model??

@JC130676 5 лет назад

I love watching the videos you guys make. You guys are fun, interactive, and do things normal people do to test a car. It's almost like I put myself in your shoes and feel the car myself. I honestly don't care about the comments people put against you guys, I think you're one of the best reviewers on RU-vid. It would be AWESOME if you could go back to the car year of 2007 and test a Lexus LS460 L for me, or anyone else interested. That would make my year :D

@76carmel 12 лет назад

How would compare the GS 450h vs Infiniti M35h -- the first superhybrid? Interesting having a true head-to-head matchup -- the Infiniti -- the first fastest hybrid vs the Lexus -- the masters of luxury hybrids.

@henrysniper8481 Год назад

I worked at both dealerships, infinity and Lexus and I would say if you want reliability and durability go Lexus all the way anyway. Toyota invented the CVT and hybrid both and has always been a leader in those two.

I'm a fan of your channel guys, but sadly I should state that your videos became very boring. I think it's mostly because Roman and Nathan recently put too much focus on 0-60 tests, instead of looking into the practical aspects of the cars.
