IS 250

Flowing body design

With its distinctive L finesse design, the IS 250 looks fast standing still. The front bumper and grille integrate cleanly with the fog lights, creating a bold, confident stance. This flowing, dynamic design also delivers impressive aerodynamics for low drag and a quiet cabin. The stylish alloy wheels with low profile tyres add to the IS 250's dynamic styling and impressive cornering.

Smart Key Card with push button start

The IS 250 comes with a Smart Key, which allows you to lock and unlock the door while the key remains in your pocket or handbag. The Sports Luxury model comes with an additional hands-free Smart Key Card, which neatly tucks into your wallet or pocket. When the proximity sensor detects the presence of your uniquely coded Smart Key or Smart Key Card, the door unlocks as soon as you touch the handle.

Self-dimming mirrors

The exterior mirrors on IS 250 models feature turn indicators and a sleek, aerodynamic look which reduces wind noise. On F Sport and Sports Luxury Electro-Chromatic mirrors automatically dim when they detect excessive light, such as the glare of headlights from following vehicles. Glare reduction can also help reduce driver fatigue.

Intelligent front and rear lighting

The IS 250 Sports Luxury includes Daytime Running Lights which make the vehicle more visible to other drivers and pedestrians while the powerful High-Intensity Discharge headlamps give you greater night vision. The rear tail lights incorporate LED lamps that illuminate faster than conventional tail lamps, so when you apply the brakes, drivers behind you are alerted sooner.

Adapt to the weather conditions

Intuitive rain sensing wipers on the F Sport and Sports Luxury turn on automatically when water is detected on the windshield. On sunnier days, you can open the optional power operated moonroof for extra ventilation and open air cruising.

IS 250 F Sport model

The spirit of Fuji Speedway inspires and informs the exterior design of the IS 250 F Sport. Visual reminders of its high-performance origins are evident in its 18 inch alloy wheels, striking IS F upper grille design and IS F spoiler and stop lamp.

Heated leather-accented front seats

On cool days, heated front seats keep you warm. The fronts seats in the Sports Luxury model are also ventilated to keep you cool in warmer weather. Ten-way power adjustments let you easily tailor seating settings to maintain your preferred posture, while the driver's memory function in the F Sport and Sports Luxury allows you to recall your preferred seat, exterior mirror and steering column positions at the touch of a button.

Advanced climate control

The advanced dual zone climate control air conditioning in the IS 250 uses a series of temperature sensors throughout the cabin to monitor the temperature and maintain your preferred comfort settings. Air is filtered to help keep the cabin free of dust, pollen and odours.

Satellite navigation and touchscreen control

The prime information resource in the IS 250 is the seven inch LCD touchscreen located in the centre console of the F Sport and Sports Luxury. Both include a Satellite Navigation system1, which guides you efficiently to your destination with voice prompts and points of interest. In addition, whenever reverse gear is engaged, images from the Rear View Camera2 are displayed on the LCD screen. Parking reference lines overlay the Rear View Camera footage to help guide you safely into place.

Eight SRS airbags

Eight SRS airbags as standard on the IS 250 help reduce collision impact for greater peace of mind. Driver and front passengers have dual stage front airbags, front seat side airbags and knee airbags to help protect lower limbs. Full length side curtain-shield airbags help protect the rear outer passengers.

Advanced safety systems management

The IS 250 includes Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM), a breakthrough system which can anticipate and help prevent instability and loss of traction, especially on slippery corners. VDIM integrates the comprehensive package of safety technologies in the IS 250, which includes the Anti-lock Braking System, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution , Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control.

Pre-collision safety

The Lexus Pre-Collision safety System (PCS)1 in the IS 250 Sports Luxury model helps you avoid accidents and can reduce injury and damage where impact is unavoidable. The PCS is assisted by a radar sensor embedded in the front grille, which monitors the distance of the vehicle from objects ahead. If the PCS determines a collision is likely, it displays a visual warning and sounds an alarm. It then pre-emptively retracts the driver and front passenger seatbelts, while arming Brake Assist to help reduce speed

Active Cruise Control

In addition to conventional cruise control, the IS 250 Sports Luxury model features a vehicle-to-vehicle distance technology known as Active Cruise Control (ACC)2. Pre-set your preferred cruising speed using touch controls on the steering wheel. This speed will be maintained until the radar detects another vehicle in your path. ACC will reduce speed accordingly, and even apply the brakes if necessary. Your nominated speed is resumed once a safe following distance can be maintained.

1. The Pre-Collision safety System is a driver assist technology and should not be used in place of safe driving practices. The driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
2. ACC is a driver assist technology and should not be used in place of safe driving practices. The driver should continue to monitor the road ahead.
