The fourth-generation Lexus GS lineup (the second-generation for the Japanese market) was announced in January 2012, including the redesigned GS 350, the newly developed GS 250, and the second-generation GS 450h hybrid (to be launched in March). The GS is Lexus's second most luxurious line after the flagship LS.

The new GS line features a spindle grille that symbolizes the face of the next-generation of Lexus, giving it a uniquely progressive and sophisticated look. The styling of the new GS substantially extends the design theme adopted for the CT series in January 2011. The interior design is stylish as well as practical, featuring such equipment as a high-resolution 12.3-inch wide display (the world's largest in a mass-production vehicle), the Remote Touch pointer that provides a mouse-like interface, and an analogue clock with self-luminous hands that is the first in a Lexus.

The GS 450h is fitted with the newly developed 3.5-liter V6 2GR-FXE Atkinson cycle engine, featuring the next-generation D-4S twin fuel injection system and a high compression ratio of 13.0. The total output of the hybrid system is 348 PS. The GS 450h realizes fuel efficiency of 18.2 km/l in the JC08 test cycle (CO2 exhaust volume: 128 g/km) and 20.5 km/l in the 10-15 test cycle (CO2 exhaust volume: 113 g/km). Measured by European standards, CO2 emission of the GS 450h is 137 g/km, which is one of the lowest among comparable diesel and hybrid vehicles in the E-segment (premium cars), and fuel efficiency is 16.95 km/l (23% better than the previous model).
