"It might be a bit of an outsider in a highly competitive class, but striking design and impressive low cost of ownership make the Lexus IS looking for a value. "
there is no doubt that the Lexus iS has cut his work for them in what is an extremely competitive class. It must seriously good head-to-head to go with seriously good cars like the BMW 3 Series Sedan, Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class, Jaguar XE and the Volkswagen Passat and Skoda Superb. Each of them has its own special charm; the Lexus' the fact is that it is almost defiant, proud differently
For starters, there is no diesel option - similar to heresy in a class of cars dominated who drink from the black pump. only a gasoline-electric hybrid and a turbocharged petrol. That is, the hybrid - combining a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor -. Does Diesel-like operating costs

Lexus claims it is capable of averaging around 67mpg and - trim in entry-level SE least - CO2 emissions has of 97g / km. This means that for private buyers, it is exempt from road tax and company car buyers want it thanks to a low 19% benefit-in-kind (BiK) company car tax rating.
If the running cost is your main concern, then you can ignore the 0t turbo petrol. At best, it is no more than about 39mpg and CO2 emissions of 167g Return / km means it will give you a year cost 210 control £, while a 30% BiK means review, it is not even really worth about as companies think car ,
, it is significantly faster than the hybrid, but boasting 242bhp completed accurately compared to the other 220 hp model and the 0-62mph sprint in 7 seconds, while the hybrid only it 8.3 seconds to manage. not make this extra power for most people for much higher operating costs upward, but.
At cruising speeds, both models are impressive smooth, quiet and comfortable, although the way the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) automatic transmission, the hybrid works quite noisy makes when accelerating, while the conventional automatic eight ~~ POS = TRUNC of 0t a fantastic example of the race is not to either be jerky and more likely to respond slowly.
All versions of the Lexus IS rear-wheel drive, but that does not mean it's a fantastic thing to drive. The Jaguar XE and BMW 3 Series are entertaining while this is more of a comfortable cruiser is in the form of the Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4.
Standard equipment is in order, with all models alloy wheels get an infotainment system of a seven-inch screen on the dashboard (and infuriatingly tricky touchpad system on the center console) DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity controlled and all-LED rear lights (including brake and reversing lights).
a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating and a wide range of standard safety kit means security should be no problem, while Lexus reliability record is fantastic. The brand first arrived in our 2015 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, as the Lexus did themselves, a list of 0 cars topping. A third place for its reliability seals this call, only the Lexus NX and Toyota iQ in front of him on the list.
