SLEEK NEW DESIGN
Lexus IS
A low, imposing stance that’s a full 30 millimeters wider than its predecessor. A new, singular taillamp that tapers to mere millimeters in the center. More dramatic character lines. The result? A pure sport sedan that looks as aggressive as it feels.
MEET THE IS
The development of the IS was driven by a passion to repeatedly push the limits of exhilarating performance to express the ‘agile and provocative’ design concept embedded in IS DNA. A sharp focus on realizing Lexus’s clear and deep driving feel that unifies driver and vehicle contributed to an intuitive sense of driving flow, rhythm and control. It produces a remarkable ‘duality’ in performance, at once ‘serene’ and effortless for relaxed city driving, and ‘dynamic’ and engaged for aggressive driving on winding roads.

To optimize individual comfort, temperature settings for the driver and front passenger seats can be set separately. Innovative electrostatic temperature controls in the center console enable quick and intuitive operation with the touch of a finger.
EMV Touch Display
The 10.3-inch touch display enables simple touch operation, with a wide screen that is easy-to-read even when the menu and maps are displayed simultaneously. Ergonomics helps refine the display’s position in front of the driver for easy operation, optimizing the angle and thinness of the unit to minimize intrusion into the driver’s line of sight. The result is an interface that is easy to focus on and enables intuitive fingertip operation, while maintaining forward visibility and a comfortable driving position.
COMFORT & DESIGN
The IS’s cockpit whets your appetite to drive as soon you get in, the dramatic horizontal sweep from the instrumental panel to the upper door trim conveying a feeling of sporty luxury. The excellent driving position, easy-to-operate steering wheel and pedals, and switches that fall naturally to hand contribute to highly responsive driving
INTERIOR
The soul-stirring interior galvanizes the desire to drive, the sporty lines of the human-centered design fusing advanced technology and craftsmanship in the refined features and finishes, fashioning an exceptional experience for drivers and passengers alike.
Trunk space
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.
Auto Dual A/C
The air conditioning system was designed to provide a comfortable ‘fun-to-drive’ environment in all seasons. To optimize individual comfort, temperature settings for the driver and front passenger seats can be set separately. Innovative electrostatic temperature controls in the center console enable quick and intuitive operation with the touch of a finger.
Steering Wheel Controls
Switches integrated in the steering wheel provide quick control of the multimedia systems without taking your hands off the wheel. Their square shape enables easy recognition of top/bottom and left/right operating directions. The metal ornamentation provides a stylish finish.
LED rear combination lamps
The Lexus signature L-shaped lightbar running across the trunk lid connects the left and right rear lamps with a single continuous line of LED lights, accentuating the wide stance and low center of gravity.
18” Inch Alloy Wheel
Lexus IS inspired air intakes and exclusive 18-inch wheels.
Front & Rear Parking Sensor
To make parking even easier, sensors in the front and rear bumper link with an in-car beeper to warn of obstacles in your way. The beeper can be turned off when not required.
EXTERIOR
Low and aggressive, the dynamic form created by the front and rear flares, spindle grille architecture, and contrasting play of highlights and shadows on the sculptured panels, express the powerful attractions of Lexus sports driving.
EXPERIENCE THE IS
At Lexus, we see the communication between driver and car as the essence of sports driving performance. To bring driver and car ever closer together and sharpen the driver’s senses, we combined advanced digital technologies including simulation technologies and the refined sensibilities of Lexus engineers on the development site, to open up new horizons in driving performance and comfort. It is no exaggeration to say finding a suitably demanding test course for a car like the IS that aims to change direction not only through steering, but also braking and acceleration, will bring a new level of performance to the IS series of tomorrow.

SAFETY
Sophisticated active and passive safety measures designed to help reduce driver stress and fatigue contribute to greater driving confidence and peace-of-mind, and ultimately to the deepening of driving pleasure.
SRS Airbags
The IS features dual-stage SRS airbags (Front seats), SRS knee airbags (Front seats), SRS side airbags (Front and rear seats), and SRS curtain shield airbags (Front and rear door windows).
Lightweight, High-Rigidity Body
Using thicker plates to enhance chassis rigidity will naturally add weight. To find a better solution IS engineers focused on advanced welding technology, adding 55 fine-pitch spot welding points around the front side members, and adopting laser screw welding and adhesives to achieve high rigidity.
PUH (Pop Up Hood)
The innovative PUH helps to provide pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal collision, and at the same time enables a sporty design with a low hood line. When the sensors mounted in the front bumper determine that the vehicle has collided with a pedestrian, the hood instantly pops up to create a space to absorb the impact force.
Front & Rear Parking Sensor
To make parking even easier, sensors in the front and rear bumper link with an in-car beeper to warn of obstacles in your way. The beeper can be turned off when not required.
WARRANTY
Every Lexus is backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty that should give you kilometers and kilometers of confidence covering either 4 years or 100,000km (whichever occurs first).

* The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seatbelts. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seatbelts properly at all times. Never install a rear-facing CRS (Child Restraint System) on the front passenger’s seat. For a forward-facing CRS, it is recommended you use it in the rear seats. Please do not use accessories for the seats which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags should inflate. Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags from activating correctly, causing serious injury (Lexus genuine seat covers are specifically designed for models equipped with the SRS side airbags. To find out about availability in your area, please inquire at your local dealer). The photo shows all the SRS airbags activated for display purposes only (the SRS side and curtain shield airbags only inflate on the side of the collision in an actual accident). For details on these and other important safety features, be sure to read the Owner’s Manual carefully.
