Lexus IS 2009 Overview
The Lexus IS debuted as an all-new sedan in 2007, limited to a single engine choice for the GCC, although other markets get better engines. Saddled with a GCC-specific 3.0-litre V6 engine, the IS 300 offers the most sporting ride of the Lexus range. The rear-wheel drive IS 300 comes with an impressive set of standard features that includes a premium sound system with CD auto-changer MP3 and WMA compatibility along with 13 speakers, power windows and front seats, keyless entry and start, cruise control, HID headlamps with auto-leveling system, and a fabric interior. The numerous options include a Mark Levinson premium surround sound system with DVD and 14 speakers, moonroof; ventilated front seats, navigation system, power rear window sunshade, auto wiper system, adaptive front-lighting system, rear view monitor system and park assist system. Safety features that come standard include numerous airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, ABS, and electronic brake-force distribution. Changes for 2009 include minor tweaks such as restyled mirrors and rear headrests. The major news was the addition of the IS 300 C four-seater convertible. Along with the folding hard-top, the IS C features LED rear lights, parking sensors, revised instrument gauges, climate control designed for top-down motoring, 12-speaker Mark Levinson sound system and an in-dash CD changer. Lexus's Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system, which includes traction control, vehicle stability control and ABS with electronic brake-force distribution, is standard. Options include a "Pre-Crash" safety system and two-tone leather seats.
