Safety
Lexus loaded the GS 460 with tons of safety features, but what impressed me most was the number of airbags in the GS 460. It comes standard with front, side-impact airbags for both rows, side curtain airbags for both rows and knee airbags for the driver and front passenger. That’s impressive.
The GS 460 comes standard with adaptive xenon high-intensity-discharge headlights that swivel in the direction you’re driving. It also comes with antilock brakes, electronic stability control and traction control.
The pre-collision system, which is part of an optional package, uses laser cruise control to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you; it also helps determine if a crash is imminent and takes steps to prepare the car’s safety systems. Park assist is also available. I found this feature to be more annoying than helpful; it beeped at me even when I was safely maneuvering around parking lots and in my driveway.
FAMILY LIFESTAGE
In Diapers: Molded rear seats and buried Latch connectors make child-safety-seat installation a struggle in the GS.
In School: Little hands have a hard time with the GS 460’s heavy doors and recessed seat belt receptacles.
Teens: The GS 460 has plenty of legroom, impressive performance and a premium audio system to appeal to teens.
