Fusing seductive beauty with aerodynamic function, a simple line on the door reveals the presence of the handle recessed flush with the surface. When carrying the Electronic Key, push the front of the handle and it unlocks the door and pops the handle out. Push the rear of the handle and it retracts automatically and locks the door. At night, integrated LED illumination guides you to the handle.
The spindle theme of the rear design emphasizes the LC’s powerful stance and low center of gravity with a distinctive form that flows around the license plate, and in the shape and position of the muffler baffles and diffusers. The edge of the garnish connecting the muffler baffles smooth airflow over the bumper, further enhancing aerodynamics.
The mirrors combine excellent visibility and refined aerodynamics in an eye-catching design. Cutting the inner side of the mirror enhances forward visibility between the pillar and mirror, while a slight curvature of the mirror provides wide visibility to the rear. The black upper sides of the mirror contribute to the visually compact design.
The increasingly strong sequential illumination of the signature L-shaped rear combination lamps is created by an innovative multi-reflection effect using a one-way mirror. The lamp structure enhances illumination depth while enabling thin lamps that minimize intrusion into the luggage space.
The sophisticated inverted trapezoid design of the 3-eye headlamps projects a high-tech image. The distinctive graphics accentuate a feeling of depth, and contrast with the arrowhead-shaped LED DRL (Daytime Running Lamp) that emits a subtle Lexus signature. The very compact unit contributes to the low hood, short overhang and lightweight body.
The renowned Lexus attention to detail, refined through the sport-focused approach of the IS, is evident in the quilted seat cushions. Emphasizing the 3-dimensional feel of the material, they accentuate the dynamic expression of athletic strength and sporty ambience of the interior.
Balancing exhilarating performance with thoughtful functionality is the hallmark of Lexus. A good example is the intelligent layout of the rear suspension, which contributes to the ample capacity of the trunk, with room for three full-size (9.5-inch) golf bags.
The front seats have 8-way power adjustments to let individuals with a wide range of physiques tailor the optimum position of comfort and support required for focused sports driving. The adjustments include slide, tilt, lifter and recline. The driver’s seat also features lumbar support adjustment.
60/40 split, fold-down rear seatbacks combine with the ample trunk space to provide versatile and flexible luggage carrying capacity. The fold-down mechanism makes it easy to fold down one or both sides of the 60/40 split rear seatbacks, to enable the carrying of items approximately 150cm in length.
