Refreshed Lexus IS headed to Beijing show

Lexus is headed to this year’s Beijing Motor Show, which opens to the public on Friday, with a refreshed IS sedan.

Teased by Lexus ahead of its official debut, the IS sedan will receive a new front-end treatment.

Tweaks include an even more aggressively designed front bumper along with a new headlight design.

Powertrains are still under wraps, but expect the current crop of engines — a 241-horsepower turbofour, as well as two V6s available in 255- and 306-hp flavours — to be carried over into the next model year.
