Powertrain Options and Availability

In the 2006 model year, the GS 300 had a 245-horsepower V6 engine, while the GS 430 held a 300-horsepower V8. A larger (3.5-liter) engine went into the V6 model for 2007, and the GS 430 was re-rated at 290 hp. All models used a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift gate, except for the GS 450h hybrid. That sedan used a combination of 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine and an electric motor, with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Only the V6 sedan could be equipped with all-wheel drive.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results

Vehicle crash test information not available at this time.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
