IS 2017 Overview Readmore

Overview

The fresh evolution of the IS compact sedan builds on the inspired character and distinctive spirit of the IS as Lexus’s original sports-focused sedan. Its development started with the fun-to-drive experience and sporty design woven into the IS’s DNA, and focused on evolving pure sports driving pleasure to a higher level, boosting driving fun and fuelling the desire to drive even further.

Design

The IS’s dramatic statement of sporting intent is instantly compelling, its powerful stance and flowing lines projecting a vital sense of forward movement. The dynamic presence of the front face creates a clear contrast between a fresh evolution of the iconic Lexus spindle grille in the center, and the power expressed by the solid corners that connect the front bumper and fenders.
