    The GS, part of Lexus's lineup since 1993, is a large sedan with seating up to 5. The Lexus GS has some real zest, surpassing typical horsepower for its class. The GS has offered Apple CarPlay since 2019. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it bypasses mud and snow with ease. Lexus offers a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic warranty, and a 6-year, 70,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2010 Lexus GS has a score of 71, implying a 0.054% chance of driver death (4.8% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2010 Lexus GS has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0538% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 6.1421%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0538% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 6.1421% chance of being injured.
