The IS introduces two smooth, refined and responsive engines - a petrol and a diesel. Both are significant but one particularly so - the first diesel from Lexus, offered in the IS 220d.
This engine harnesses all the efficiencies and the torque of diesel with the endlessly well-mannered smoothness you would come to expect from a Lexus and now the IS 220d has reduced CO2 emission figures of 148 g/km.
A host of innovative features in both the IS 220d and the IS 250 also ensures remarkable all-round strengths.
Both are rear-wheel drive, the IS 220d is available with 6-speed manual transmission. The IS 250 is available in both automatic and 6-speed manual versions powered by a 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine. Both models include Smart Entry and Start System, knee airbags, MP3 compatibility and a host of innovative features as standard.
The IS series is the embodiment of elegant, sophisticated luxury.
Highly responsive and refined, the IS sports saloon is designed to move. The dynamic IS 250C convertible can be transformed into a stylish open-top in just 21 seconds. And the top-of-the range IS F provides an exhilarating driving experience.
The IS provides deep levels of refinement, sophistication and intelligent efficiency.
