LEXUS SAYS: Lexus has expanded the IS range to include the IS250 Sport. The addition to the range creates some excitement of things to come within the IS model line-up.
Lexus’ sporting pedigree is being strongly established in a short space of time. Within the IS range, the eagerly anticipated IS-F has taken global markets by storm, while the LF-A concept car gives a glimpse of Lexus’ clear intentions at sporting performance.
The IS250 Sport is immediately recognisable from the rest of the range thanks to its visual enhancements, but core to the special car’s dynamic appeal will be the sports suspension package that lowers and stiffens the IS250’s set-up. The handling package is further enhanced by the standard fitment of 18-inch wheels shod with 225/40 tyres at the front and 255/40 tyres on the rear.
Fitting of the improved handling promise, the IS250 Sport features aerodynamic body enhancements that include revised front and rear bumpers with complementing side skirts and a rear boot lip spoiler. The interior is highlighted with special aluminium accents, including sportier pedal treatment and gear knob. The Sport model will utilise the 6-speed paddle shift automatic transmission to complement the overall package.
The IS250 Sport otherwise shares its appointments specification with the IS250 SE. That means that a host of equipment is available as standard that would otherwise add significant cost to the car on the more traditional options lists of German rivals.
Features such as satellite navigation with voice activation, Bluetooth, reverse camera with back-guide monitor, a 14-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, and keyless go are all part of the standard specification. Safety is among the best in class with eight airbags, including driver and passenger knee bags, and Lexus’ acclaimed Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management system, VDIM.
As with all Lexus vehicles, the IS250 Sport is covered by a three year/100 000km manufacturer’s warranty and four years/100 000km full maintenance plan.

IS250 S MT R370 300
