LEXUS IS SPORTS SEDAN

In addition to a core focus on STRIKING DESIGN, IMAGINATIVE TECHNOLOGY and LEADING DRIVING DYNAMICS, the re-imagined LEXUS IS SPORTS SEDAN delivers a new level of luxury as standard.

HYBRID ONLY For the very first time in South Africa, Lexus has launched the IS as a hybrid-only model, with three derivatives. Lexus is at the forefront of the immense global shift from diesel to alternative-propulsion vehicles, and is positioning hybrids as performance- and technologyrich vehicles. DESIGN FOCUS The IS re-imagines the sports-sedan concept with a low and wide stance, the sleek proportions of a four-door coupé, slimmer headlights, and a lower and sharper side character line, which all combine to express a centre of gravity that’s closer to the ground. Gently sloped rear-quarter pillars, which help to form a sleek cabin silhouette, wrap around from the sides, contrasting with muscular rear fenders to create an aggressive look.

IMAGINATIVE TECH The new Lexus IS matches and exceeds the active safety technology featured in the brand’s current flagship Lexus LS. Standard on the SE and F Sport grades, the new Lexus Safety System+ supports

pre-collision warning, pre-collision brake assist and precollision braking. These systems are designed to work with both daytime and night-time pedestrian detection, as well as daytime cyclist detection. The IS is also the first Lexus to offer emergency steering assist, which helps the driver manoeuvre within the lane in order to avoid, for example, an unforeseen pedestrian walking ahead.

DRIVING DYNAMICS Never before has such a focus been placed on enhancing the renowned rear-wheel drive dynamics of a Lexus IS, and the latest IS debuts the Lexus Driving Signature that will become the development standard for the brand’s future models. The Lexus Driving Signature technology provides seamless transition from braking to steering and acceleration through corners, and was developed after extensive testing at the legendary and gruelling Nürburgring racetrack. lexus.co.za
