Lexus is giving its UK market IS 300h Luxury trim model an Executive upgrade worth £3,390 without adding any cost to consumers. The new Executive Edition builds upon the Luxury grade adding leather upholstery and a factory navigation system with the hybrid model starting from £29,995 OTR.
Other standard features included in the package are front and rear parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic HID headlights, cruise control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, dual-zone climate control and rain-sensing wipers.
The European market IS 300h is powered by a combination of a 2.5-liter inline-four petrol and an electric motor producing a total output of 217hp (220PS).
Lexus says the system delivers official fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures of 64.2mpg UK and 103g/km respectively, while allowing the premium sedan to sprint from nought to 62mph (100km/h) in 8.3 seconds.
