See the power on the Power Meter

To keep you informed, a power meter replaces the customary tachometer on GS 450h. It is exclusive to Hybrid models.

Multi Information Display

You'll constantly know which power systems are operating via the multi–information display on the console. It tells you whether you're being driven by the petrol engine, the electric drive motor, or both. It also advises when the regenerative braking system is active.

Refined Interior Treatment

Refined design around the EMV display, and a metallic finish on the meter faces and gear shifter face plate complements the clean, contemporary look of the GS interior. The steering wheel incorporates controls for the audio, cruise control, phone, Multi Information Display and speech commands.

Glare free instrumentation

For optimum instrument readability even in bright sunlight, there's an Electro–Chromatic Device (ECD) system installed in the meter glass of the dash. It controls sunlight reflection by day and enhances the readout visibility at night, allowing the instrumentation to keep you informed at all times.

Audiophile quality Mark Levinson audio system

The blissfully quiet running of the GS450h provides the perfect environment to appreciate an audio system by world renowned designer Mark Levinson. This 14–speaker audio system has a 6–disc in–dash DVD/CD changer and an Automatic Sound Leveliser that continuously fine tunes volume and tone. Audio controls are conveniently located on the steering wheel. In addition, a USB connector provides the functionality for flash memory drives and full iPod®* control via the EMV (Electro Multi Vision) touch screen.

Climate controlled seats with memory

Whatever the weather, you'll have the comfort of Climate Controlled front seats keeping you refreshed on long hot journeys, or toasty warm on cool days. Eight–way power adjustment lets you easily tailor settings to maintain your preferred posture. If another driver has been in your car, the memory function allows personalised settings to be instantly recalled at the touch of a button.

Inbuilt Bluetooth® keeps you in touch

Simply register your Bluetooth®^† compatible mobile with the inbuilt system for hands free communication. Call functions are right at your fingertips via the EMV screen, letting you search the phone book, register and receive calls.

DVD–based Satellite Navigation guidance

You'll be guided to your destination by a DVD–based Satellite Navigation^‡ system. Visual maps and spoken commands provide directions, making paper maps a thing of the past.

Rear view camera for easier reversing

A Rear View Camera^ is discreetly mounted above the license plate. Select reverse and a colour image of what's immediately behind your rear bumper appears on the EMV screen. Rear Guide Assist gives you a more precise indication of distances for easier parking and reversing.

Power rear sunshade

To reduce glare, an electric rear sunshade emerges at the touch of a button, for greater passenger comfort.

^ Rear view camera is designed as a driver assist device only and should not be used as a substitute for skilled driving and safe parking practices. The area into which the vehicle is to be reversed must still be visually monitored by the driver while parking. Keep reversing speeds under five kilometres per hour. Camera images may be affected by the weather and light conditions. Always observe skilled driving and safe parking practices.
