Boasting a new 148 horsepower version of the 2.2-litre diesel engine, the IS 200d SE's price starts at 24,350 GBP on the road.

The renowned IS 250 and IS 250C coupe-convertible have also what to show. Their V6 petrol power unit linked to a six-speed automatic transmission has been revised to meet the future Euro5 emissions standards, without any loses in performance.

In addition to the inner enhancements, all IS models fitted with the high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights now benefits from LED daytime running lights. New rim designs, rear light shapes and wider range of exterior shades add even deeper sense of style and exclusiveness.

Its  newly-shaped 18-inch light-alloys shines in dark silver shade with black centre Lexus roundel, directly inspired by the IS F.

Inside the cockpit, the sports factor continues with F-Sport steering wheel, gear lever and sports pedals as well as front seats finished fresh combination of leather and Alcantara. Extra touches of titanium-effect trim and a dark, anthracite roof liner are also introduced.
