EXTERIOR
Tested in the harshest Australian conditions
The IS 250C has proven its worth in the harsh conditions of the Northern Territory. During a development testing program in early 2008, Lexus' engineering staff conducted durability tests on roads between Alice Springs and Darwin to analyse and measure dust intrusion, air conditioning and roof functionality. The tests resulted in a convertible with unparalleled dust sealing and roof performance.
Flowing body design and alloy wheels
With its distinctive L finesse design, the IS 250C delivers impressive aerodynamics for low drag coefficient and a quiet cabin. Low profile tyres add to dynamic styling and impressive cornering. The exterior of the Prestige model is complemented by unique 17 inch 10 spoke alloy wheels, while the Sports and Sports Luxury models feature alloy wheels with an 18 inch five spoke design.
Smart Key Card with push button start
The IS 250C Sports Luxury comes with a hands-free Smart Key Card, which allows you to unlock and lock doors and start the engine with the touch of a button, without removing the card from your pocket or bag. When the proximity sensor detects the presence of your uniquely coded Smart Key Card, the door unlocks as soon as you touch the handle. All models come with two Smart Keys, which similarly allow you to unlock the door while the key remains in your pocket.
Self-dimming mirrors
The exterior mirrors on IS 250C models feature turn indicators and a sleek, aerodynamic look which reduces wind noise. On the Sports Luxury, the 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 250C 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 Sports Luxury model turn on automatically when water is detected on the windshield.
