Design

Centre of attention on this stunning new saloon is the boldest ‘spindle grille’ yet seen on a Lexus. HID (Xenon) headlights and L-shaped LED daytime running lights complete the purposeful look. In profile, the car’s athletic stance is complemented by a low bonnet, side ‘kick-up’ line and long coupé-like roofline, giving dynamic presence and exceptional roominess. Excellent aerodynamics result from details like extra smooth roof joints. Winglets on the rear lights and front door pillars increase stability and also reduce wind noise.

Overview

In the evolution of IS DNA into a pure sports sedan, the IS lifts “sports driving pleasure” to a higher plane. The dynamic styling boldly expresses sporting performance, from the muscular stance and aggressive signature “spindle grille”, to the sculpted lines of the front and rear lighting. At the core of exhilarating performance is a lightweight rigid body and optimized suspension, the enjoyment boosted by the tuned engine note, low-set sports driving position, and smooth sports changes of the 8-speed transmission. Driving exhilaration is further evolved in the exclusive feature of the F SPORT package. In the spacious cabin this sporting prowess is complemented by the refined interior design, integrated multimedia systems, and peace of mind in advanced safety measures.
