Less than 0 decibels - the threshold of human hearing - is the sound of anticipation. A sound captured in the perfect Lexus IS250 F-Sport. The 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine puts out an impressive 153 kW of power at 6400 r/min while the award-winning Dual Valve Variable Timing with intelligent (VVT-i) technology maintains the cars performance under all driving conditions.
The innovative Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management (VDIM) system makes the performance of the IS250 F-Sport accessible and uninhibited. By integrating all safety systems and managing them collectively the vehicle maintains its composure in all driving conditions. And, in the unlikely event of an accident, airbags are deployed throughout the vehicle, even at passengers knees, to prevent damage from the impact from any direction.
The technology however extends beyond the car’s performance. The Bluetooth™ enables the driver to make calls via voice activation and recognises up to 300 commands. The intuitive technology is wirelessly integrated to you mobile phone and can be controlled via the Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) display and steering-wheel controls. Your EMV can display up to 500 numbers while the sound is channelled through the car’s audio system. As soon as the phone enters the vehicle, the hands-free system is activated.
The EMV is also used to display the view behind the car when it is placed in reverse. The advanced parking assist system and Rear Guide Monitor use a rear-mounted camera to display a live feed of the area behind the car to make reversing as simple as pulling off.
As innate is the Smart Entry and Start system. While in range, the vehicle detects the keycard and automatically unlocks the car when the handle is touched. The vehicle is similarly switched on, with the touch of a button. Technology so advanced, the IS250 F-Sport is effortlessly comfortable.
