Lexus IS model updates in Japan

Overview

Lexus has announced updates to its compact FR sport sedan, the IS, with a specific focus on the IS300h hybrid model in Japan.

A new special edition, the ‘F SPORT Mode Black VI’, is scheduled for release on October 1. This edition features 19-inch black-painted BBS forged aluminum wheels designed to reduce unsprung weight and improve handling. The exterior also receives upgraded three-eye Full LED headlights.

The special edition interior utilizes a black-themed design with Ultrasuede and L-tex synthetic leather on the seats, door armrests, and center console. Functional upgrades for this edition include driver-side position memory and seat ventilation for both the driver and passenger.

Additionally, cold-weather specifications will now be included as standard equipment across all IS300h models. The updated Japanese lineup includes the standard IS300h, version L, F SPORT, and the Mode Black VI, with pricing ranging from 5.9 million yen for the standard model to 6.95 million yen for the F SPORT Mode Black VI edition.

Recent reports confirm these updates to the IS sedan lineup, noting that the introduction of the ‘F SPORT Mode Black VI’ special edition includes the newly developed 19-inch black BBS forged aluminum wheels and the Ultrasuede and L-tex interior. Furthermore, the transition of cold-weather specifications to standard equipment across the IS300h hybrid range has been finalized, though prices for the updated models have seen slight increases compared to previous iterations.
