2012 Lexus GS250: cheaper E-Class fighter confirmed

Lexus Australia will introduce the entry-level Lexus GS250 to the local line-up, joining the GS350 and GS450h when it is launched in Australia during the second quarter of this year.

The new variant will allow Lexus Australia to offer more direct competition to its key German rivals, such as the BMW 520i and Mercedes-Benz E250 CGI.

The Lexus GS250 comes with a 2.5-litre V6 engine producing 154kW of power and is backed up by a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and throttle-blipping technology on downshifts. Acceleration from 0-100km/h takes 8.4 seconds.
