The 2015 Lexus IS 250 aims to marry the brand's reputation for serene luxury with a sportier personality, targeting a younger demographic and, most importantly, BMW's lock on the compact sports sedan segment.
What's New for 2015
Following its redesign for 2014, the IS 250 gets some equipment changes for 2015. The backup camera now features gridlines to make it more useful. Siri Eyes Free is now available for those who use an iOS device with their cars. LED fog lights are new, as are heated and cooled front seats for F Sport models. A heated steering wheel is a new option for cars equipped with all-wheel drive.
Choosing Your Lexus IS 250
The base IS 250 and performance-flavored F Sport both come with a 204-horsepower 2.5-liter V6 that's mated to a six-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional on both.
IS 250
The IS 250 comes standard with features such as 17-inch alloy wheels, 10 airbags, dual-zone automatic climate control, HID headlamps, power front seats, a split-folding rear seat, leatherette upholstery and an 8-inch display radio with backup camera, HD radio and Bluetooth.
Key options include navigation, Lexus Enform telematics for crash response and concierge services, leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, 18-inch alloy wheels and a 15-speaker Mark Levinson audio system.
F Sport
With its deeper and more aggressive front and rear styling, the F Sport cuts a more sporting personality. Compared to the standard IS 250, the F Sport gets 18-inch alloy wheels, and revised styling inside and out to go with its sportier suspension settings. You'll also get leather upholstery with heated and cooled front seats.
A heated steering wheels joins navigation, Lexus Enform telematics and the 15-speaker Mark Levinson audio system on the option list.
The MSRP for an F Sport is substantially more expensive, but it comes with standard equipment that's optional on the base IS 250. Since the F Sport is a primarily cosmetic package that does little to change the car's personality, its main appeal will be for buyers who think it looks better.
