WHICHEVER path you choose, the innovation and driving-inspired performance

of an IS guarantees one thrilling ride. But each IS model also stands alone—projecting
a singular personality and unique appeal. The IS F is the fastest, most dominant
performance sedan we’ve created to date. The IS sedan’s design was inspired by the
exclusive world of competitive racing. And the IS C features a precision-engineered
retractable hardtop that transforms your coupe into a convertible in approximately
20 seconds flat. Despite their differences, each is crafted purely for driving pleasure.

COMFORT ZONE

MODEL INTROS COCKPIT F PERFORMANCE INNOVATION SPECS

For a car that was inspired by competitive
racing, the last thing you’d expect would
be an indulgent, comfortable cabin. But
the IS is full of surprises. Dual-zone climate
control is designed to automatically react
to changes due to air temperature or
sunlight in any of the models—or when the
IS C’s top is lowered or raised. The climate­control system also uses a humidity sensor
and a microdust and pollen filter. In the IS F
and IS 350 sedan and convertible, a smog
sensor is designed to detect and help block
hydrocarbons from entering the cabin.

The seats and steering wheel are carefully
thought-out as well and beg for long drives
on winding roads. The steering wheel is
small in diameter like a race car’s and is
bound in leather trim for a firm grip.
The seats are bolstered to help hold you
in place around curves and are also
wrapped in leather hand-chosen from
premium full-grain stocks. One last detail
you’ll definitely want to put your hands
on: a leather-and-chrome-trimmed shift
knob. Putting the IS in gear is now more
tempting than ever.
