Why choose just any luxury car when you can have one that puts its full elegance on display? The 2015 Lexus IS 250 does exactly that with its wide stance and sharp body lines, proving this is no typical sedan. Large 17-inch rims add to the sleek four-door sedan's profile, and the available two-door convertible trim will have you arriving at any destination in style. But the IS 250 is more than just an impressive exterior. A comfortable cabin boasts plenty of standard luxuries that prove the IS 250 is just as impressive on the inside as on the outside.
1. Two driving options
The IS 250 comes standard with a capable 2.5L engine and six-speed automatic transmission that sends all its power to the rear wheels for plenty of fun on the back roads. But if you need a little extra traction on your weekend trips out of town, shop for the all-wheel drive trim. You'll get additional traction when you need it, and the AWD version also comes with heated seats to help you fight any cold snap.
You'll feel comfortable every time you sit in the IS 250's cabin with its standard leatherette seats and available leather option. Dual-zone climate control will allow you and your front passenger to get the temperature just right. Shop for the F Sport trim level to get a stiffer, sport-tuned suspension to hug the corners even closer.
You'll love the serenity of the IS 250's cabin so much that you'll want to share it with the world by opening up the sunroof that comes standard on all sedan trims. And if you want to take your driving experience to the next level, shop for the two-door convertible trim with its all-weather hard top. Weekend beach trips will never be the same again.
If you want a luxury vehicle that changes your expectations of car amenities, the IS 250 is it. Some special standard features include heated mirrors, keyless entry, and eight-way power front seats. You'll find even more luxuries shopping for an available navigation system, and driver aids like lane-departure warning and blind-spot monitoring.
The IS 250 is packed with style and luxury, but it leaves plenty of room for tech features, too. You can connect devices through a USB port and Bluetooth® integration and control the eight-inch infotainment display with a console-mounted control dial. Other tech goodies include available remote engine start, and remote door and window status check for those times when you can't remember if you put the windows back up before the rain.
