Overview of Lexus IS

Toyota Lexus wants to make an even more autonomous, more exclusive brand. The first ball that fires Lexus in this direction is the new Lexus IS. The Lexus IS is a mid-size model in the luxury brand of Toyota. The model is characterized by its various offshoots. From convertibles to sports Lexus IS-F is for everyone. So there is the sedan as all-wheel and rear-wheel drive in the market. One reason could be the lack of long diesel variant. In November 2005, the customers could also order a diesel.


Engines

The Lexus IS will be a serious competitor to BMW Dreier and Mercedes C-Class. The sports version of IS-F is aimed at the BMW M3. In terms of engines, a V6 petrol engine with 208 hp and direct injection and a new 2.2-liter common rail diesel with 177 hp are available. The sport version is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine. The diesel version debits the account with 31,700 euros, the 250 with 36,250 euros.


But mostly it refrained like, looking forward instead on the agile handling of the 4.66 meter long limousine. The tightly tuned Lexus IS 300h F-Sport can be pretty fast on land scare, feels very handy and looks up to the pleasant seating position very well thought out.


Lexus IS-top Model With Automatic Top

The crown in the new Lexus IS program contributes to the IS 350 F-Sport, the externally only marginally different from his brothers. Only the "F-Sport" logo and the pellet grill in mesh design outing him as a top model. Just after a few meters, it is clear that the IS has left the spongy steering feel and the feeling of lack of rigidity behind. The steering wheel was put up to 3 degrees, the seating position is lowered by 20 mm.


Pricing

The Lexus IS is with its rear-wheel drive most likely fit into the category of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. The former middle class so, today begins the price level for not too poorly equipped vehicles at 40,000 euros. The IS 250 in its cheapest version is significantly lower, starts with 34,200 euros. There is then already a 2.5-liter V6 petrol engine with six-speed automatic, 208 hp, 225 km / h, Xenon headlights, automatic climate control, leather steering wheel MuFu included. The catch: There is not much more, because the best toys like the Mark Levinson audio system (3,800 euros) or the radar distance control (1,900 euros), only in conjunction with the top equipment Luxury Line (from 41,650 euros) be ordered. Some things are also available for the Executive Line or the F Sport.


But if you absolutely need fashionable LED headlights, must take a very different version: the IS 300h, the hybrid version (36,700 euros). Also there as F Sport or Luxury, then LED spotlights are included; for the executive they cost 600 euros extra. In the course 300h is the hybrid version, the drive unit corresponds to that of the NX. However, the 2.5-liter makes 181 hp Glow in the IS, the system line is equipped with electric engine at 223 hp and top speed is adjusted to 200 km / h.
