Lexus IS Car Leasing & Contract Hire

Elegant yet muscular, the 5-door Lexus IS Saloon provides a refreshing alternative to the diesel models that dominate the luxury and executive car sector by giving you a choice between a powerful V6 petrol engine and an efficient hybrid. With a refined interior, the distinctive “spindle grille” and an advanced range of features and equipment, the Lexus IS Saloon is designed to stand out from the crowd.

Lexus IS Saloon Key Features

•    Choice of powerful V6 petrol engine and efficient hybrid;
•    CO2 emissions as low as 99g/km; 
•    Distinctive exterior including unique “spindle grille”;
•    Winner of over 12 international awards;

Power & Performance

The Lexus IS is available in two models, each featuring its own unique powertrain. The Lexus IS 250 features a V6 petrol engine with 6-speed automatic transmission, paddle shifts and a manual “M” mode. Producing 204hp and 207PS, it’s capable of achieving 0-62mph in as little as 8.2 seconds.

Offering superior power and efficiency is the Lexus IS 300h. Fitted with a hybrid four cylinder 2.5 litre petrol engine and electric motor powertrain, it has a combined output of 217hp and 220PS. But even better, it’s capable of 65.7mpg and produces as little as 99g/km CO2 – a full 100g less than the IS 250. Yet despite being more efficient, it can still achieve 0-62mph in just 8.3 seconds.

For those that want a sportier ride, the F Sport models can be fitted with an adaptive damping system that allows you to switch between Normal and Sport+ modes, giving you a smoother ride and more agile handling at higher speeds.

Features & Equipment

As you’d expect from an executive car, the standard features in the Lexus IS are enough to put the high-end extras of some models to shame. In the entry-level Lexus IS 250 SE you’ll find an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), cruise control, a 4.2” colour multi-information display and an analogue clock with LED illumination.

The Lexus IS 300h SE gets even better equipment at entry-level, including 16” alloy wheels, a smart entry and start system, dual zone climate control, a 7” VGA screen with a 4.2” colour multi-information display and a DAB radio.

Across the range at higher trims you’ll find rain sensing wipers, a park assist system, Bluetooth connectivity, 18” alloy wheels, TRC traction control, the 15-speaker Mark Levinson entertainment system and leather upholstery with electrically adjustable headed and ventilated front seats.
