With aggressive styling that refuses to go unnoticed, available technology that seamlessly connects you to your favorite mobile apps and new performance engineering designed to deliver an unprecedented level of control and precision, the all-new 2014 Lexus IS is more than an introduction. It's a provocation. Watch the reveal video from the Detroit Auto Show.
Equipped with potent 2.5- or 3.5-liter V6 engines and six- or eight-speed automatic transmissions with paddle shifters, the all-new Lexus IS 250 and IS 350 performance sedans were honed on the world's most iconic racetracks for one purpose: pure exhilaration. A wider, more rigid platform and sport-tuned suspensions combine to deliver unprecedented steering feel. And, inside, a driver-focused cockpit, performance driving modes and power-adjustable bolstered sport seating forge an intense connection between you and the asphalt below.
Movie tickets? Sure. Dinner reservations? Why not. With available Lexus Enform® [1] seamlessly connecting you to your favorite smartphone apps, the all-new IS can handle your needs as effortlessly as it carves pavement. Need directions? The available Navigation System [2] features enhanced 3-D map displays. Want to cool down after that last S-curve? With new electrostatic touch-based temperature controls, it's as simple as swiping your finger. And, to help ensure your attention is where it belongs, the all-new IS offers an array of state-of-the-art safety technology including a Blind Spot Monitor [3] with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert [4], intelligent high-beam headlamps and an advanced Lane Departure Alert system [5].
When you're ready to change lanes, send a signal to those around you. The all-new IS bucks convention with boldly inset daytime running lights, a head-turning spindle grille and aggressive sculpted lines that deliver exceptional aerodynamics. A longer and wider stance creates a commanding presence on the road and provides rear-seat passengers with the legroom of a much larger sedan. The progressive design continues throughout the cockpit with striking details like carved and polished silver accents and genuine contrast stitching that add intrigue to the contoured dash and panels.
