The GSF uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle's frame and axles. Its functions are: to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, and to reduce the resulting vibrations, ensuring smooth driving. The Lexus GSF is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of 4975 mm in length, 1866 mm in width, 1447 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2870 mm.

















I test drove the GS F last month, and what impressed me most was its suspension system. It features a double-wishbone setup at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear, complemented by adaptive variable suspension technology. The ride felt incredibly stable on the road, with remarkably minimal body roll during high-speed cornering, while remaining supple and comfortable on bumpy city streets. The adaptive system automatically adjusts stiffness, and switching to Sport mode instantly tightens everything up, making it feel like a completely different car—full of excitement. Compared to other luxury performance cars, like the Mercedes-AMG, the GS F's tuning is more balanced, never sacrificing comfort for extreme sportiness. In my opinion, the suspension design is quite clever, offering both driving pleasure and long-distance comfort—it doesn’t wear you out even after extended drives. I’d highly recommend friends to test drive it before buying to experience these details firsthand; they make a huge difference in handling.

Over the years, I've driven quite a few high-performance cars, and I'm particularly fond of the GS F's suspension setup. It features a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with AVS adaptive functionality. The double-wishbone excels at handling lateral forces on the front wheels, ensuring stability during cornering, while the multi-link rear suspension absorbs vibrations effectively on rough roads. The overall tuning is on the firm side but not overly harsh. The AVS system adjusts the dampers in real-time based on road conditions, providing excellent traction even in rainy weather. The steering offers direct feedback, and body roll is well-controlled, avoiding the excessive harshness of some pure sports cars. Whether it's for grocery runs or leisurely drives, it strikes a good balance between comfort and responsiveness. I recommend car enthusiasts who enjoy handling to pay attention to such configurations and regularly inspect the dampers to prevent wear issues.

I've driven the GS F, which features a front double-wishbone suspension paired with a rear multi-link setup and an adaptive system. This combination delivers smooth driving, stable at high speeds and comfortable at low speeds. The AVS function allows for switching between soft and firm settings to adapt to road conditions. The handling is precise, with no body roll during cornering.

Compared to the standard GS, the GS F features significant suspension upgrades with independent designs front and rear. The front double-wishbone setup lowers the center of gravity, while the rear multi-link system enhances tracking. Equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension, it delivers a sportier driving experience without compromising daily practicality. I felt extremely confident when driving on mountain roads, without the harshness of its German rivals. Under normal usage, the shock absorbers hold up well, and regular maintenance can extend their lifespan.

I experienced the GS F on a track day, and the suspension system was truly hardcore. The front double-wishbone structure provided ample support, reducing front wheel bounce, while the rear multi-link setup ensured strong rear wheel grip. When the adaptive technology was switched to Sport mode, it became super tight, making acceleration and cornering rock solid, with highly reliable extreme handling. This type of high-performance suspension design balances performance, making street driving not too uncomfortable. A reminder to fellow drivers: check tire pressure and alignment before long trips to avoid premature wear of suspension components affecting performance.
