A new generation of the Lexus IS graders between stands right now, and premiere on the motor show in Detroit. One of the changes is that the IS for the first time with hybrid drive. Now we know how efficient it becomes.

Lexus has in recent years become a typical hybrid brand but the IS model has nevertheless never gone to the combination of electricity + gas. 

IS 300h gets a newly developed full-hybrid system with a four-cylinder 2.5-liter petrol engine and an electric motor that produces a combined fuel consumption of 0.43 l / mil and over 100 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. The powertrain provides a total of 220 horsepower and 215 newton meters. The hybrid system also allows the trunk decreases from 480 to 450 liters. Frequently IS 250 driven its part of a 2.5-liter V6 at 207 horsepower and 250 Newton meters which is coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. 

The latest generation of IS has grown seven inches between the axles to provide more space for rear passengers. For the same reason, the front seats thinner, allowing the rear legroom is 8.5 inches longer than before. 

IS is of course also become a safer car. In order to protect pedestrians in an accident pushed the hood up and security systems such as high beam assistant, fescue warning, blind-spot-warning and alert systems for rear-end collisions are some of the news.
