LEXUS IS DRIVEN TO PERFORM
A LUXURY SPORTS SEDAN THAT IS ENGINEERED FOR EXHILARATION
Uncompromising attention to detail has resulted in the most exciting IS yet, and a driving experience that's superb both on and off the track. To strengthen performance, the new IS was thoroughly tested and honed at various locations throughout the world, including the winding country road test course of the new research and development facility in Shimoyama, Japan.
BOLD NEW DESIGN
PERFORMANCE YOU CAN FEEL
Faithful to the driver's intentions, the IS ensures a seamless transition from deceleration to steering and acceleration during cornering. This 'Lexus Driving Signature' is the new development standard for every future Lexus model. In the hybrid electric version, control over acceleration has been updated in pursuit of even sportier driving. The 2.0-liter turbo version features adaptive transmission control that evaluates the driving environment and selects the most appropriate gear.
COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY
Lexus is developing safety technologies in the pursuit of one goal: creating an accident-free world. The new IS sees these advancements with the latest Lexus Safety System+ which includes functions such as Emergency Steering Assist and Lane Tracing Assist. These advances are part of Lexus’s continuing efforts to prevent traffic accidents and fatalities, to reduce driver burden, and to develop driver-assist systems that provide a more natural and safer driving experience.
