Lexus has expanded its IS250 offering locally with a new EX designated mid-grade model.
Introduced to bridge the gap between the S and SE grades the new IS250 EX adds a 7-inch LCD multiview display (migrated from the SE) and HDD SatNav, park distance control and a reversing camera.
No excuses for scratching it when maneuvering out of treacherous parking garages then…
For the rest specification remains pegged on S level which includes keyless go, one-touch window operation all-round, dual-zone climate control, eight-way adjustable seats and cruise control.
Infotainment is via a six-disc front loaded CD changer with auxiliary wireless drive for both iPod and MP3 playability. If you want the premium 14-speaker Mark Levinson digital surround sound system you’ll have to buy up to SE spec though…
Powering the rear-wheel drive IS250 range is a 2.5l V6 developing 153kW at 6 400r/min and 252Nm of peak rotational force at 4 800r/min.
Those output figures factor to performance numbers of 8.4 seconds for the 0-100km/h sprint and a topspeed of 225km/h. Lexus claims average consumption 9.1l/100km.
All IS250 models are covered by a four year/100 000km maintenance plan and three year/100 000km warranty.
