Drivers shopping for a sports sedan have plenty of choices, but when they come across a Lexus IS for sale, they will quickly notice that it stands out from the crowd. The compact sports sedan was designed to turn heads even when standing still. Whether you’re cruising the Long Island Expressway or just running errands around Queens, the IS makes every drive unforgettable.
While the high performance of the Lexus IS is the thing people most like to talk about, the IS was made to create a balanced driving experience for drivers who have a need for speed and those who simply want a beautiful car. The IS blends modern minimalist and high-end design to create a unique experience that you won’t find anywhere but in a Lexus. Lexus’ design principles are so personal that the company even coined the term ‘L-finesse’ back in the early 2000s to describe the process of combining advanced technology and design, all with a touch of finesse. This philosophy led to the creation of some of the finest machines on four wheels.
The IS was created to meet the individual needs of a driver, but it is more than that. Drivers can seamlessly connect with their IS for a personal experience that makes driving a fulfilling activity on every level. Lexus has worked hard to employ a streamlined aesthetic for the IS sedan. Clean, elegant lines and a simple but rich color palette are two aspects of the IS that lead to a quiet and soothing environment. The cabin feels more like an oasis of calm than the loud, cramped interior offered by some sedans. The IS embodies the idea of ‘quiet luxury’ with high-end materials that make the car feel as if it was created for you and you alone.
The Quiet Luxury of the IS
The IS embodies the idea of ‘quiet luxury’ with high-end materials that make the car feel timeless. An eye for detail went into creating every inch of space inside the IS. From the dash to the upholstery and everything in between, the IS was made to exceed expectations of what a car can be.
Starting at the base trim and moving across the different levels, the beautiful NuLuxe upholstery comes standard. The NuLuxe high-end synthetic material offers drivers the feel and appearance of rich leather. The sustainable material is not only eco-friendly but adds increased durability to your seating so that it looks beautiful for longer. Lexus switched to the green material to reduce carbon emissions during processing and create a more sustainable product that offers the high-end look of leather without high maintenance. With NuLuxe, drivers don’t have to worry about cleaning and conditioning the seat with leather-specific cleaners. A gentle brush or vacuum allows for easy, quick cleaning so your IS is always in show-ready condition.
Drivers get a standard eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat and front passenger's seat but can upgrade with higher trim levels to a ten-way power-adjustable driver's seat that includes lumbar support plus a four-way adjustable headrest. For commutes that can stretch into an hour or more, having the extra support can mean the difference between a good or bad end to a long day.
The sleek interior design of the dash, supportive seating, luxury materials, and tech placed at your fingertips will transform how you connect with your IS. In the IS, drivers will feel rested, relaxed, and at home in a way they never thought was possible.
