For $1,400 (added to the Base model GS 350) the 'PM' Premium Package includes: Rain-Sensing Wipers, Heated and Ventilated Front Seats & Power Rear Sunshade.

Once a model package is added to the Base model it becomes identified as that model, e.g. 'Premium', 'Luxury', 'F Sport'.

Almost always the Premium Package will include some additional options. That said, almost always (with very rare exception) all 4GS models will have the 'NV' Navigation System ~$1,735.

In addition to the 'NV' Navigation System the Premium model will oftentimes include the following options:
'BD' Blind Spot Monitoring ~$500
'PA' Intuitive Park Assist ~$500
'FW' 18" Split 5-Spoke Superchrome Wheels ~$865
'Z2" Accy Pkg (Mat, Net, Wheel Locks, Bumper Applique) ~$318


In addition to the individual options noted above you will often find in cold climate locations the All-Wheel Drive version for ~$2,550 as well as the 'Cold Weather Package' for ~$440 which includes: Heated Steering Wheel, Heavy Duty Heater, Headlamp Washers & Water Repellant Front Door Glass

Note: Some Premium models might have the optional Mark Levinson Radio/Entertainment System, but I don't recall ever seeing one or ever hearing about one having it.

I hope that helps!

2013 - page 10 for all packages & optional equipment: https://www.lexus.com/documents/broc...S-Brochure.pdf
2014 - page 11 for all packages & optional equipment: https://www.lexus.com/documents/broc...S-Brochure.pdf
2015 - page 13 for all packages & optional equipment: https://www.lexus.com/documents/broc...S-Brochure.pdf

The premium package stayed essentially the same for 2013-2015 models.

I think premium package is the base model in the US right? I have not seen anything less than premium package when I researched my car.

I have only 'heard' of a true Base model a couple of times and one of them did not include any options at all, including not having the Navigation System.

There is actually a base model (without premium package) buts they are very rare.

A RWD base model was next to me a few years back rocking stock 17" OEM 4GS wheels: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post10470395

It's really hard to find a base model package in the US. When I was working at a dealership, a client requested us to order a base model GS. All the sales team and LTS/LDS where shocked when the vehicle arrived. lol.
