Lexus has gone from beige to dynamic and now, it seems, to stroppy.
Unveiled at the Beijing motor show this week, the new Lexus IS sports sedan is unashamedly aggressive, sharply styled and seemingly taking aim at helping customers keep mid-life crises at bay.
A host of changes to the model align with the signature L-finesse design philosophy and add the latest tech goodies.
A full pre-crash system, advanced dynamic cruise control, Lexus ‘Safety System+’ are all on board, and perhaps in further recognition of the age-range target, the multimedia display has grown from 7 to 10.3-inches.
The most noticeable evolutions on the exterior are a redesign of the love-or-hate spindle grill, bigger air intakes and reshaped headlights that help the car look lower, more purposeful and, importantly, faster.
The Aussie line-up will remain as-is in terms of model mix, and pricing and final local spec will be available closer to when the boat arrives.
