A STRONGER BODY FOR
GREATER CONTROL
The IS is the result of relentless attention
to detail: for a more engaging drive, weāve
lowered the driverās seat hip point by 20mm
and adjusted the steering wheel pitch by
3Ā°. Driving precision has been improved by
using breakthrough body construction
technologies including laser screw welding
and high strength adhesives. New multi-link
rear suspension results in greater agility and
more responsive handling. Factor in innovative
aerodynamics, and you have a car that is not
only highly responsive, but one thatās incredibly
quiet too.

DESIGN STATEMENT
Centre of attention on this stunning new
saloon is the boldest āspindle grilleā yet
seen on a Lexus. HID (Xenon) headlights
and L-shaped LED daytime running lights
complete the purposeful look. In profile, the
carās athletic stance is complemented by
a low bonnet, side ākick-upā line and long
coupƩ-like roofline, giving dynamic presence
and exceptional roominess. Excellent
aerodynamics result from details like extra
smooth roof joints and closable radiator
vents on the IS 300h. Winglets on the rear
lights and front door pillars increase stability
and also reduce wind noise.

In 2004, Lexus became the first premium carmaker to perfect
Full Hybrid technology. Since then, over 500,000 Lexus hybrid
models have been sold. The IS 300hās second-generation Lexus
Hybrid Drive delivers refined power with outstanding fuel efficiency
and exceptionally low emissions ā zero when in EV (Electric Vehicle)
mode. For more information, visit www.lexus.co.uk/IS
1 / Lexus Hybrid Drive Equipped with innovative D-4S direct
injection and dual VVT-i valve control, this highly efficient āAtkinson
Cycleā 4-cylinder engine forms the heart of the IS 300hās Full Hybrid
powertrain. Start/Stop technology and exhaust heat recycling help reduce
fuel consumption and emissions even further.
2 / EV (Electric Vehicle) mode With sufficient battery charge, EV mode
lets you drive at lower speeds over shorter distances using electric power only.
EV mode is near silent, emissions-free and consumes no fuel. This is ideal, for
instance, when driving in heavy city traffic.

3 / Regenerative braking When braking or decelerating, the rear wheels drive the
high-output electric motor so that it functions as a generator. Kinetic energy ā which
would otherwise be lost as heat ā is then captured and converted into electric
power. This is stored in the hybrid battery for later use.
4 / Class-leading hybrid performance The all-new IS 300h delivers 223 DIN hp
of super smooth power that lets you accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 8.4 seconds.
On IS 300h SE, amazingly, the combined CO2 emissions of this powerful rear-wheel
drive saloon are just 99g/km and fuel consumption is only 65.7 mpg combined.
5 / Intelligent hybrid technology No larger than a conventional
automatic transmission, Lexus Hybrid Driveās electric motor, generator
and power split mechanism are all housed in one highly compact hybrid
transmission. Energy flows are managed by an advanced Power
Control Unit ā often referred to as the ābrainā of Lexus Hybrid Drive
ā that constantly optimises the allocation of power resources ā
electric, petrol or a combination of both.
The nickel-metal hybrid battery provides high power output in
relation to its weight. It does not require recharging from an
outside power source, or periodical replacement.

IS / HYBRID EXPLAINED
IS / HYBRID EXPLAINED
Start up, driving off When starting off, the electric motor propels the IS 300h up
to around 40mph, with electric power being supplied from the hybrid battery. At this
point the saloon is almost silent, uses no petrol and produces zero emissions.
Normal driving conditions At speeds above 40mph the petrol engine
cuts in, almost silently, but still receives assistance from the electric motor
when required. Through the near perfect distribution of its dual power
sources, Lexus Hybrid Drive provides exceptional driving comfort ā together
with lower emissions and fuel consumption.
HOW DOES LEXUS HYBRID WORK?
Full throttle acceleration Accelerate powerfully and the electric motor
instantaneously supplements the 2.5-litre petrol engine. This delivers a surge of
torque to provide smooth, powerful linear acceleration precisely when you need it.
Deceleration, stopping, braking When decelerating or
coming to a halt, the petrol engine turns off, cutting emissions to
zero. Brake, or take your foot off the accelerator, and regenerative
braking harnesses the kinetic energy lost in other cars. It converts this
into electrical energy for storage in the hybrid battery, which is one reason
why you never need to plug in a Lexus Full Hybrid car.

The new IS was tested and refined in the worldās most advanced driving
simulator ā and then on the racetrack. IS Chief Engineer Junichi Furuyama
went back to the very fundamentals of how a rear-wheel drive saloon should
handle, developing a new chassis, suspension and steering to enhance driving
enjoyment, agility and precision.
1 / New chassis, Adaptive Variable Suspension With a completely
re-engineered chassis, rear suspension and steering, the new IS is dynamic and
engaging to drive. The double wishbone front suspension has been revised while, to
the rear, a brand new multi-link rear suspension (based on that of the much acclaimed
GS performance saloon) enhances straight-line performance and cornering grip. For an
even more dynamic drive, Adaptive Variable Suspension* intelligently controls the damping
force on all four wheels. This not only improves ride comfort, but also increases handling
stability ā especially during higher-speed cornering.
2 / Sportier driving position From a lower and sportier driving position, youāll really āfeelā
the road surface through the new steering set-up and sense how the car responds to the slightest
steering input.
3 / Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management State-of-the-art Vehicle Dynamics Integrated
Management (VDIM) is fitted as standard to the new IS. This enables all of the carās stability and control
systems to work together, ensuring a level of intervention thatās much more refined than if these systems
acted independently of one another.
A. With VDIM: Dynamic control systems work smoothly together.
A

1 / Eight airbags In addition to an immensely strong passenger safety cell, occupant
protection is provided by eight airbags. The driver and front passenger are protected by
2-stage head airbags, as well as knee and side airbags. Curtain shield airbags run the
full length of both cabin sides. All seatbelts, except for the centre rear seat, are also
specified with pre-tensioners. This exceptional level of safety protection is provided as
standard in the new IS.
2 / Pop up hood The new IS features an impact-absorbing pop up hood.
Activated by sensors mounted in the front bumper, should you collide with a
pedestrian, the system slightly raises the level of the hood to give more space
between it and the hard components of the engine underneath. This reduces
the risk of injuries to the pedestrian.
3 / Blind Spot Monitor Radar devices mounted in the rear bumper
detect vehicles in adjacent lanes that are not visible in the door mirrors.
If the driver is indicating to change lane and a vehicle enters the blind
spot, the Blind Spot Monitor instantly activates a warning signal in the
relevant door mirror. Available on Premier grade only.
4 / Rear Cross Traffic Alert When reversing in a Premier
grade vehicle, for instance in a busy car park, the Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) function uses the Blind Spot Monitor
radar to detect vehicles approaching the difficult-to-see area
behind the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected, the RCTA
function alerts you with a visual display in the door mirrors
and a buzzer.

B. Without VDIM: Dynamic control systems work independently.
4 / Drive Mode Select Vehicle performance can be fine-tuned using Drive Mode Select. ECO mode
reduces emissions and conserves fuel for everyday driving, NORMAL provides an ideal balance of power,
economy and ride comfort. For enhanced drivetrain responsiveness, simply switch to SPORT mode.
5 / Advanced aerodynamics The new IS has superb aerodynamics, thanks to details like a near-flat underbody
and tiny winglets on the front door pillars and rear lights. First seen on F1 racing cars, these winglets create air vortices
(see B in diagram) that help pull the airstreams inwards to improve the way the IS cuts through the air. This not only
enhances stability and handling, but also improves fuel efficiency and reduces wind noise.

aspect of our service. Wherever possible we will provide a replacement car
while yours is being maintained and we aim to ensure that any time you spend
with us in the Lexus Lounge is relaxing and enjoyable. Read a paper, watch
television or even work on your laptop. Excellence of service is more than
just a goal, itās our passion. And, through the LexusCareĀ© programme, that
passion endures long after your car has left the showroom.
