2005-2012 Lexus IS review
IS. Move as one.Exterior - design that eludes the wind and captures your emotions. It's a body design that readies you for the exhilaration of the journey ahead; the product of the uniquely Lexus L-finesse design language. Powerful lines flow seamlessly from the stepped-down front bumper then sweep across the bonnet to character lines running down the sides. Complexity blends with incisive simplicity in a design that moves your emotions.The L-finesse styling is enhanced by more precise engineering that ensures tighter body panel fitment for seamless flowing lines.Performance - Tested on racetracks, engineered to make your heart race. Light weight yet eagerly responsive, the all-alloy Quad Cam 2.5 litre V6 performs the moment you touch the throttle. Direct injection means fuel is sprayed into the cylinders at extremely high pressure, improving combustion. It also allows higher compression for more power, economy and reduced emissions. For performance focused drivers, the IS 250 Prestige and Sports models offer an advanced design, 6-speed manual transmission for a dynamic driving experience. Triple synchro mechanism on 1st and 3rd reduces friction for smoother shifts. A higher first gear improves acceleration, while closer ratios optimise overall performance. To adhere to undulating roads, the IS 250 has an advanced-design, multilink rear suspension system. An aluminium carrier reduces weight and improves response. Double link upper suspension arms optimise the geometry and further save weight. Model Range:
IS 250 Prestige
IS 250 Sports
