MUSCAT: All those who have wished to own the aggressive and luxurious IS, but have waited for the perfect moment, now is the time!

The Lexus IS has been a favourite for those who prefer a little bit of everything. Attractive design, new-age technology, the power to lead and comforting luxury make the IS a popular luxury sedan.
The front fascia of the IS takes centre stage with striking headlamps and large air intakes in the front bumper. The air intakes seem to flow off the fenders and frame a grille that folds back at a higher point, emphasising a roadhugging stance.
The hood appears sculptural, with the raised centre portion flowing rearward from the top of the spindle grille and standard LED headlamps. Beneath those, the L-theme LED daytime running lights to give a dramatic daytime glow. On the IS F SPORT, the grille features an exclusive threedimensional F-mesh pattern.
At the rear, the Lexus IS leaves a refined night-time signature with pronounced “L”-shaped LED light guides that are triple layered within the taillight housing. Rectangular chrome exhaust tips accentuate the car’s sporting nature. Capping off the look are five-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels on the IS350.
The IS conveys its sporting intent from the moment the driver gets behind the wheel. Both the wheel and instrument panel designs were inspired by those in the Lexus LFA supercar.
Luxuries abound in the Lexus IS models; including NuLuxe Leather-trimmed seating, 8-way power front sport seats, a high-efficiency dual-zone automatic climate control system with touch-sensitive controls, power moonroof, and Remote engine starter.
Everywhere you look and touch in the Lexus IS, you will see and feel unique details, including climatecontrol panel, analogue clock and steering wheel switches. The speedometer and tachometer, as well as stitching atop the gauge hood, enhance the cockpit’s sporty feel.
The IS offers navigation system, which features a new 10.3-inch screen. The navigation system puts a world of capability at the driver’s fingertips via the secondgeneration Lexus Remote Touch Interface (RTI) multi-function control device. The RTI is the goto control for the audio, driver’s phone and more. Available in conjunction with the navigation system, the Mark Levinson Premium Surround System delivers strikingly life-like sound reproduction, with 15 speakers. “Enter” buttons on either side of the RTI on the centre console help make the system easier to use, as does a larger leather-wrapped palm rest.
The IS300 and IS350 are available in RWD. Both offer an F SPORT model that further revs up the bold style and handling agility. The IS300 features a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged engine with intercooler. This supersmooth powerplant produces 241 hp and quickly builds up a wide torque plateau of 35.7Kg.M. from 1,650-4,400 rpm. Variable Valve Timing-intelligent – Wide (VVTiW) allows the engine to switch between the Otto and Atkinson combustion cycles to maximize efficiency. The D-4ST fuel injection system combines a high-pressure direct fuel injection system with a low-pressure port-injection system. The IS 300 comes equipped exclusively with the eight-speed Sport Direct Shift (SPDS) automatic transmission that integrates advanced G-force Artificial Intelligence (G-AI) system to choose gears intuitively. Steering wheel paddle shifters are also available for those who prefer to shift for themselves. The IS 350 delivers dazzling performance from a 3.5-litre V6 that produces 312 hp and 38.5Kg.M. of peak torque.
All IS sedans feature ECO, NORMAL and SPORT modes. Equipping the IS 300 with the F SPORT package also adds Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), controlled with SPORT S+ mode.
The agile handling of all IS models owes much to the multi-link rear suspension inherited from the company’s GS sedans, along with finely tuned electronic power steering. Available for all IS models, the F SPORT package sharpens handling acuity with special suspension tuning and a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, while sharpening the design with unique interior and exterior trim. Inside, all-season comfort is enhanced through ventilated front seats. The finishing touch on the F SPORT experience for IS 300 and IS 350 models is a rousing engine sound to rev up the car enthusiast in anyone.
