The Lexus ISAt the moment it comes in the 300 finish. We hope that in the future the range will be complemented with the 350 versions with the V6 with 311 horsepower and of course, we rub our hands because the IS500 with its 5.0-liter V8 with 472 Hp, do the same.
The Lexus IS is positioned as one of the most “affordable” models in the segment where it competes, where most rivals start with prices that exceed one million pesos. Thus, as main contenders we have the Acura TLX Advance, Audi A4 40TFSI S Line Y BMW 3 Series 330i.
