2016 Lexus GS 200t makes its way to Malaysia - After Lexus RX, Lexus LC 500 is next to arrive

Kuala Lumpur: The absolutely luxurious counterpart of Japanese Giant Toyota has launched Lexus GS 200t in Malaysia today. The 2016 Lexus GS facelift was initially launched at the Pebble Beach, California in August 2015 and now it has landed in Malaysia to offer the same luxury feel. The new GS 200t is not the sole Lexus drive which has taken the headlines but, for past couple of months, the brand is continuously floating updates on some or other thing. Here are some of the recent Lexus news which stirred in the automobile industry -

2016 Lexus GS 200t

Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo engine, the new 2016 Lexus GS 200t is a worthy replacement of Lexus GS 250. Available in 3 trims for Malay customers – Premium, Luxury and F Sport, this sumptuous drive falls within the price bracket of RM 439,200 and 496,100. In comparison to the outgoing model, the new GS 200t has got restyled exterior which looks a little similar to that of Lexus IS with Lexus signature spindle grille and revamped headlights. The 2016 GS 200t engine comprising a capacity of 2.0-litre with turbo technology is capable of knocking out 241 hp of power along with 350 Nm of torque which is pretty impressive.

2017 Lexus LC 500

Unveiled at the 2016 Detroit Motor Show, the new 2017 Lexus LC 500 is based on LF-LC platform and comes packed with a highly efficient humongous 5.0-litre V8 engine under its striking hood. This power packed engine shows its might with 467 hp of high power along with 527 Nm of impressive torque. The incomparable styling at exterior and interior is something which makes this luxury coupe stand at a higher step than other drives in the similar segment. The company has not revealed the price of this drive yet and the prospective customers would have to wait for some more time.

2016 Lexus RX

Rubbing the shoulders with the other drives launched recently by Lexus, is the beautifully-crafted 2016 Lexus RX. This stunner made its debut at the 2015 New York International Auto Show held in April last year and is arriving soon in Malaysia. Offered in 2 trims – 450h and 200t, the latter houses a 2.0-litre turbo power-unit which knocks out a peak power of 235 hp and a peak torque clocking to 350 Nm. The new RX 450h carries a 3.5-litre hybrid unit under its hood and shows equally impressive efficiency in power, performance and fuel consumption segments.

Aesthetics and beautification are not the only elements expected in Lexus drives but you can expect some serious stuff like technology and advanced features also. Proving this point is the new turbocharged engine which has been initially planted in Lexus IS and may be shared in other upcoming drives after analysing the performance and market scope.
