The last-generation Lexus GS (2013–2020) came as the GS 350 with a 311-hp V6, the 241-hp turbo GS 300 (called GS 200t before 2018), the 338-hp GS 450h hybrid, and the 467-hp V8 GS F. Lexus's final GS model year was 2020, which brought the GS 350 and GS F.

Previous GS trim levels: GS, fourth generation: final years (2018–2020)

For 2018 the turbo GS 200t was renamed GS 300 alongside the GS 350, GS 450h and GS F. Lexus's 2020 releases cover the GS 350 (including a 210-unit F SPORT Black Line Special Edition) and the GS F, which got 19-inch matte black wheels and blue Brembo calipers. Lexus's text releases give no per-trim 2020 prices, so only the 2019 GS F figures are shown.[1][2][3][4][5]
