Light steering and a smooth automatic gearbox make the IS 300 easy to drive around town. A focus on comfort and luxury help make long journeys more relaxing.

The petrol-electric hybrid engines blend energetic performance with great fuel efficiency, and can also drive in zero-emission electric mode for short distances.
The interior
The Lexus has lots of space for the driver and passengers, with good legroom in the back. Three medium sized suitcases can be fitted into the 450-litre boot. The IS 300 is very well-equipped, with even entry-level SE models getting climate control, while Luxury trim adds sat nav and a large infotainment screen. Sport models have specially designed seats and dashboard, while Advance and Executive versions add leather trim and heated seats.
