IS 300

The all-new IS 300 sport sedan offers Lexus quality, craftsmanship, safety and attention to detail in a boldly styled, fun-to-drive package. A 215-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, and double-wishbone independent suspension give the IS 300 the credentials to challenge established sport sedans including the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series. Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) optimizes valve overlap throughout the engine’s speed range. External details that highlight the angular lines include high-intensity gas discharge (HID) headlights, a front airdam with foglights, and clear-lens taillights. The interior blends modern and classic sports car touches, including supportive height-adjustable sport seats, drilled aluminum pedals and stainless steel doorsill scuff plates with rubber pads. A unique, chronograph-style combination gauge cluster inspired by sports watches sits within the speedometer.
