More Lexus IS Information
With its sharp lines, chrome extras and plush interiors, the Lexus IS certainly has that va-va-voom. Since its first launch in 1998, the luxury Japanese car has been a key player in its car genre, offering spacious cabin room, slick equipment and a fantastic drive. Formerly comprising two fuel types, the Lexus IS range now produces the self-charging hybrid IS 300h only, which comprises a four-cylinder 2.5-litre petrol engine and electric motor. This returns 97kg/km of CO2 and reaches 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds.
What you can expect to find in a Lexus IS
The Lexus IS is available in three trims including the Standard edition, F Sport and Takumi. All include a range of impressive features as standard.
- Climate and cruise control
- Seven-inch screen with built-in satnav
- CD player, six-speaker DAB radio, Bluetooth and AUX compatibility
- Conventional springs and dampers
- Ample head and legroom
Whilst not as high-performing or fun to drive as its competitors, the Lexus IS still has plenty of impressive features and our favourites are below. These vary depending on the trim and year.
- Hill-start assistance, keeping the footbrake active until the gas pedal is pushed
- Parking sensors, traffic sign reading, lane-keeping assistance and automatic high-beam headlights
- Quiet engine and noise-cancelling interior for a relaxing drive
- Lexus Safety System including 8 driver and passenger airbags, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert and blindspot monitoring
- Driver and front passenger knee pads for improved comfort
- Top-spec Takumi trim includes a 10.3-inch screen, 15-speaker surround sound system and touchpad control
Japanese cars are praised for their reliability and performance and the Lexus IS is no exception. With this affordable compact hybrid, you can expect a refined design, ample safety features and a smooth ride that won't let you down.

Is the Lexus IS a good car?
Thanks to the brand's stellar reputation for reliability, the Lexus IS is a car that won't let you down. It consistently scores high for quality and customer satisfaction in reviews and surveys, gaining a full five stars in its Euro NCAP tests. Its cabin is robust and its electric motor technology is reliable, while the batteries are built to last the life of the car.
-
Is the Lexus IS economical to drive?
The Lexus IS 300h hybrid is the most economical option, returning 65.7mpg with emissions around 97g/km. This is substantially better than the Lexus IS 250 with its rating of 199g/km and 32.8mpg fuel economy.
-
Is the Lexus IS expensive to run?
With its competitive price, the Lexus IS is an affordable company car, sitting several car tax bands below its diesel competitors. And with its superb and reliable performance, it's unlikely you'll have to pay for any unexpected emergency repairs. But if you're looking for something that's cheaper on fuel with lower company car tax, you might want to look at the Lexus ES or a plug-in hybrid car. You'll also want to keep in mind its just-above-average insurance group, recommended £250-?450 service charge every 15,000 miles and £140 annual road tax. Trims over £40,000 also incur a £465 annual surcharge from year two to year six.
-
Where is the Lexus IS built?
While some Lexus cars are now built in Canada and the USA, the IS is manufactured in Tahara, situated in its home country of Japan.
