The evolution of an icon: A drive down memory lane with the Lexus IS
• The first Lexus IS model launched globally in 2000.
• Pricing for the current IS range starts from R841 300.
• Lexus is the luxury arm of Toyota.
It might have evolved in shape, size, efficiency, and performance, but the Lexus IS has established itself as a complete premium package the world over.
The first model made its debut in 2000 and, at the same time, initiated Toyota President and master driver Akio Toyoda into the exhilaration of performance driving.
South Africa received all IS models besides the SportCross station wagon body shape, with pricing for the current range starting from R841 300. The F Sport is the top-of-the-range performance version.
Take a cruise down memory lane with the evolution of all the IS models through all its generations:
2001 Lexus IS
2006 Lexus IS 250
2013 Lexus IS
2021 Lexus IS 300h

Nearly-new buying guide: Lexus IS
Ultra-reliable, efficient and well equipped, we investigate this saloon
The Lexus IS is an underdog, belonging to a class dominated by German rivals to the point that it can easily be overlooked. Deservedly so? Not at all. The IS is well equipped, efficient and impeccably reliable, so it’s very much worth a look on the used market.
The latest (Mk3) IS arrived on the executive saloon scene in 2013 with a sharp design and an eco-friendly focus. Hence no diesel: just one petrol and one hybrid. The petrol, badged the 250, features a 204bhp 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Officially, it delivers a combined 32mpg.
However, this variant isn’t widely available on used car sites. Much more common is the hybrid, badged the 300h. It gets that same 2.5-litre engine with less power (181bhp, to be exact) but a better 48.7mpg, thanks to the presence of an electric motor. For the 2016 model year, Lexus replaced the 250 with the 200t. This has a 245bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine and, like the 250, is rare on the second-hand market.
Opt for an entry-level SE model and you will get keyless entry, cruise control, dual-zone climate control and a joystick-governed infotainment system (with a 7.0in screen or, post- facelift, a 10.3in one) with DAB radio. Upgrade to the Executive Edition for satellite navigation and leather seats, while Sport models add bigger alloy wheels, parking sensors and automatic wipers.
