2015 Lexus IS 250

Delighting enthusiast drivers and luxury connoisseurs alike, the third-generation Lexus IS continues to upset the balance of power among sport sedans for 2015, their sophomore season.

The Lexus IS features a host of upgrades for 2015, including new LED fog lights and numerous cabin enhancements. Reflecting the popularity of the all-weather drive system in colder climates, a heated steering wheel is available for AWD models. The F SPORT package now includes heated/ventilated front seats and F SPORT AWD models also get the heated steering wheel. The standard backup monitor adds dynamic gridlines for 2015, helping to make parking maneuvers easier and safe.

The IS 250 model uses a 204-hp 2.5-liter V6 matched to a six-speed automatic. The IS 350 delivers scintillating performance from a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 306 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of peak torque. In both, silken power delivery combines with multi-link rear suspension and finely tuned electronic power steering derived from the Lexus GS sedan to deliver a rousing driving experience.

A touch-screen display audio system equips the IS models with an 8-inch screen, backup monitor, HD Radio, Bluetooth audio, automatic phone book transfer, a vehicle information display and complimentary traffic and weather data provided via HD Radio.

Available for 2015 Lexus IS 250 and IS 350 models, the F SPORT package sharpens handling acuity with unique 18-inch wheels and special suspension tuning, while sharpening the design with unique interior and exterior trim. The finishing touch on the F SPORT experience is an intake sound generator that creates a more sporting engine note.
