Toyota's luxury car sub-division, Lexus, has introduced its all new 2013 GS 350 sedan, without disclosing its pricing.

Toyota says in addition to the new GS 350, other 2013 GS models - GS hybrid and GS F-Sport versions - also in the pipeline would be due for launch in early 2012. 
 
''Today, buyers in the mid-size luxury segment want a more engaging driving experience, styling that makes a statement, and a roomier interior package,'' said Mark Templin, Lexus group vice president and general manager. ''With the all-new GS, we're giving them what they asked for, and more.''

Japanese auto maker said in a statement, the fundamental requirement of the GS1 is to provide a refined and spacious atmosphere with a new aerodynamic body for comfortable travel at any speed over any distance.

"The new GS 350 more than satisfies this requirement, with rapidly evolved performance and state-of-the-art technologies that further define the pleasure of ownership, the joy of driving and the feeling of luxury that resonates through the senses," it said.

The signature spindle grille, with trapezoidal contours evolved from current Lexus styling, features the fusion of the Lexus-unique inverted trapezoidal upper grille and a trapezoidal lower grille with a functionally integrated brake-cooling duct. This distinctive new front represents the future direction of Lexus front-end design.

This is the fourth generation of the GS line, and it has traditionally competed against other mid-size luxury sedans such as the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 series and Infiniti M. Therefore, the initial powerplant is a 3.5-liter V-6 with direct injection. Lexus says it puts out 306 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.
