Balancing exhilarating per formance with

of the rear suspension, which contributes to
the ample capacity of the trunk, with room for
three full-size (9.5 inch) golf bags.

makes it easy to fold down one or both sides
of the 60/40 split rear seatbacks, to enable
the carrying of items approximately 150cm in
length.
03 / Rear seat space
The extended vehicle dimensions including
the wheelbase create the foundation for the
outstanding comfort of the spacious cabin. It
is especially noticeable in the rear seats where
the thin front seatbacks and good space
around the knees contribute to excellent
legroom and access, providing even more
reason to share the IS’ sports driving pleasure
with family and friends.

THE POWER OF INTUITION
04 / Power front seats
The front seats have 8-way power adjustments to let
individuals with a wide range of physiques tailor the
optimum position of comfort and support required for
focused sports driving. The adjustments include slide, tilt,
lifter and recline. The driver’s seat also features lumbar
support adjustment.
05 / Knee pads
Complementing the low-set position of the front seats,
knee pads on both sides of the centre console were
carefully shaped and positioned to provide support
during sports driving. For the driver, it contributes to a
stable and comfortable posture during hard driving, and
a soft finishing touch to the snug feeling of the cockpit.
06 / Heated and ventilated seats
Heated and ventilated seats for the front seats have
separate heaters and cooler in the seat cushions that
provide comfort regardless of the weather.

Highlighting the IS’ leading-edge credentials,

The innovative PUH provides pedestrian protection in the event of

determine that the vehicle has collided with a pedestrian, the hood
instantly pops up to create a space to absorb the impact force.
* 1 The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are supplemental devices to
be used with the seatbelts. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear
their seatbelts properly at all times. Never install a rear-facing CRS (Child Restraint
System) on the front passenger’s seat. For a forward-facing CRS, it is recommended
you use it in the rear seats. Please do not use accessories for the seats which cover
the parts where the SRS side airbags should inflate. Such accessories may prevent
the SRS side airbags from activating correctly, causing serious injury (Lexus genuine
seat covers are specifically designed for models equipped with the SRS side
airbags). The photo shows all the SRS airbags activated for display purposes only
(the SRS side and curtain shield airbags only inflate on the side of the collision in an

TA K U M I
Eiji Goto has similarly impossible standards when
it comes to scrutinising engine parts. His team
members must memorise a list of 250 points
to inspect. Sound daunting? That’s only for one
piece. These are just two of the 26,000 tasks
you’ll find in a Lexus plant. Each must be precisely
demonstrated and described in exacting detail by
a craftsman to receive certification. How much
detail? Consider this: There’s a 14-minute film on
how to place a grommet correctly—a task that
takes a mere two seconds.

At Lexus, sustainability is an enormous challenge
that we gladly accept. We are committed to
finding better, more efficient ways to contribute
to a healthier planet, leading the industry in better
business practices. Our focus on the environment
drove our development and global leadership
of hybrid luxury vehicles, and the knowledge we
have gained is applied in all of our vehicles. Our
commitment to recovering, recycling and re-using
permeates the entire company. To reduce waste to
a minimum, we carefully recycle various materials
in our offices, factories, and sales facilities, reducing
CO2 levels beyond our achievements on the road.
62
ENVIRONMENT
Specific initiatives to enhance the environment
include integrating a keen environment-friendly
focus on the entire life cycle of each vehicle, from
design and production, through to the recycling
of vehicles at the end-of-life. To reduce CO 2
emissions, at the design stage we specify extensive
use of plant-derived plastics for components,
instead of petroleum-derived plastics. During
production, we make repeated use of reusable
items, work hard to efficiently use resources to
minimize waste, and recycle any waste produced.
