Lexus 300 For Sale

Lexus IS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "Altezza" redirects here. For the type of after-market vehicle lights, see Altezza lights. Lexus IS Manufacturer Lexus Toyota Production 1998–present Assembly Iwate, Japan (1998–2005) Tahara, Aichi, Japan (2005–present) Miyawaka, Fukuoka, Japan (2005–present) Class Entry-level luxury car/ Compact executive car Layout FR layout / F4 layout The Lexus IS is a series of entry-level luxury cars / compact executive cars sold by Lexus since 1998. The IS was introduced as an entry-level sport model slotted below the ES in the Lexus lineup (and outside of North America, the Lexus GS). The IS was originally sold under the Toyota Altezza nameplate in Japan (the word "altezza" is Italian for "highness") until the introduction of the Lexus brand and the second generation Lexus IS design in 2006. The Altezza name is still used at times to refer to chromed car taillights like those fitted to the first generation model, known as 'Altezza lights' or 'Lexus-style' lights.[1] The first generation Altezza (codename XE10) was launched in Japan in October 1998, while the Lexus IS 200 (GXE10) made its debut in Europe in 1999 and in North America as the IS 300 (JCE10) in 2000. The first generation, inline-6-powered IS featured sedan and wagon variants. The second generation IS was launched globally in 2006 with V6-powered IS 250 (GSE20) and IS 350 (GSE21) sedan models. A high-performance V8 sedan version, the IS F, premiered in 2007. Hardtop convertible versions, the IS 250 C and IS 350 C, debuted in 2008. According to Lexus, the IS designation stands for Intelligent Sport.[2][3] Contents 1 First generation (XE10) 1.1 1998–2000 1.2 2000–2005 2 Second generation (XE20) 2.1 2005–2008 2.2 2009–2010 2.3 2010–present 2.4 Tuning 3 Motorsport 4 Sales and production 5 Technical specifications 6 Awards 7 References 8 External links [edit] First generation (XE10) First generation Manufacturer Kanto Auto Works (Altezza Gita)[4] Also called Lexus IS 200 Lexus IS 300 Toyota Altezza (Japan) Toyota Altezza Gita (Japan) Production 1998–2005 Model year(s) 2001–2005 Assembly Iwate, Japan Body style(s) 4-door sedan 5-door hatchback/station wagon Layout FR layout Engine(s) 2.0 L 1G-FE I6 (AS200/IS200) 2.0 L 3S-GE I4 (RS200) 3.0 L 2JZ-GE I6 (AS300/IS300) Transmission(s) 4-speed automatic 5-speed manual 5-speed automatic 6-speed manual Wheelbase 2,670 mm (105.1 in) Length Sedan: 4,400 mm (173.2 in) SportCross: 4,415 mm (173.8 in) Width 2004–05: 1,725 mm (67.9 in) 2004–05: 1,720 mm (67.7 in) Height 1,410 mm (55.5 in) 1,440 mm (56.7 in) Curb weight 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) (IS 200) Related Lexus GS Toyota Mark II Produced as a direct competitor to the luxury sport sedans of the leading European luxury marques, the Altezza/IS was designed with a greater performance emphasis than typically seen on prior Japanese luxury vehicles. The engineering work was led by Nobuaki Katayama, who was responsible for the AE86 project. The AS200 and AS300 Altezza sedans formed the basis for the Lexus IS 200 and IS 300 models sold in markets outside Japan, primarily North America and Europe. A hatchback/station wagon version was sold in Japan as the Altezza Gita, and in the U.S. and Europe as the Lexus IS SportCross. Overall, the Altezza/IS came in 3 variants: AS200 (sedan or Gita wagon) – 2.0 liter 1G-FE inline-6, 160 hp JIS (118 kW) or 155 PS (114 kW), rear-wheel drive or 4WD; sold by Lexus as the IS 200 RS200 (sedan) – 2.0 liter Yamaha-tuned 3S-GE inline-4, 210 hp JIS (154 kW), rear-wheel drive, not sold outside Japan by Lexus AS300 (Gita wagon) – 3.0 liter 2JZ-GE inline-6, 220 hp JIS (162 kW) or 215 hp SAE (160 kW), rear-wheel drive or 4WD; sold by Lexus (sedan or wagon) as the IS 300 [edit] 1998–2000 Introduced in 1998 with the AS200 (chassis code GXE10) and RS200 (chassis code SXE10) sedans, the compact vehicle was produced using a shortened front-engine, rear-wheel drive midsize platform,[5] allowing Japanese buyers to take advantage of tax savings imposed by Japanese government regulations concerning vehicle exterior dimensions and engine displacement, and adapted parts from the larger second generation Aristo/GS.[5] The 2.0 L 1G-FE inline-6 powered AS200 (TA-GXE-10, sedan) featured a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, while a 4-speed automatic was optional. The 2.0 L 3S-GE inline-4 powered RS200 (GH-SXE-10, sedan) featured a 6-speed transmission, while a 5-speed automatic was optional. 1999–2005 Lexus IS 200 sedan (GXE10R; Australia) The design received critical acclaim at its 1998 launch, and was awarded Japan's "Car of the Year" honor for 1998–1999. A year later, Lexus began marketing the IS 200 equivalent models in Europe.[6] The IS 200 in Europe was listed as producing 153 brake horsepower (114 kW), with a top speed of 216 kilometres per hour (134 mph), and 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0–62 mph) acceleration in 9.3 seconds.[7] The styling cues of the rear light clusters on the first generation models were copied by a number of after-market accessory manufacturers for applications on other vehicles.[1] This iconic style of one or more internal lamp units, covered with a clear (or tinted) perspex cover made popular by Lexus, became known in many circles as 'Lexus-style' or 'Altezza lights'.[1] 1998–2005 Altezza Gita (TAJCE10; Japan); exported as Lexus IS SportCross [edit] 2000–2005 In 2000, a hatchback/station wagon model, the AS300 (chassis code JCE10), was introduced featuring a 3.0 L 2JZ-GE inline-6 engine. Equipped with rear- or all-wheel drive (TA-JCE-10, FR Gita Wagon; TA-JCE-15, 4WD Gita wagon), the AS300 featured a 5-speed manual, or 5-speed automatic for the FR Gita Wagon and a 4-speed automatic for the 4WD Gita Wagon. The 6-cylinder version (2JZ-GE) was only available in Japan on the Gita models. In the U.S., the IS 300 sedan debuted in 2000 as 2001 model and the wagon debuted in 2001 as a 2002 model with the same 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine (the 2.0 liter 6-cylinder wasn't available), while in Europe, the IS 300 joined the IS 200 in the model lineup. All IS models in the U.S. were initially only available with the 5-speed automatic transmission; this was also the case in Europe. However, a 5-speed manual was made available in the U.S. in 2002. Visually the exterior of the European IS 200 Sport and 300 saloon were almost identical, the only differences being the boot insignia and the larger engined model having clear front indicators. First generation IS 300 interior (JCE10) The first generation IS interior featured unique elements not typically found in other Lexus models. These included a chrome metal ball shifter, pop-up navigation screen, and chronograph-styled instrument panel (with mini gauges for temperature, fuel economy, and volts). For the European market, the IS 300 gained full leather seats rather than the leather/ecsaine of the 200, plus auto-dimming rear view and side mirrors, and HID headlamps. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency‎ listed the IS 300 as a subcompact car; although it technically had enough overall volume to be called a compact, rear seat room exhibited subcompact dimensions. Lexus IS 200/300 chronograph instrument cluster NHTSA crash test results in 2001 gave the IS 300 the maximum five stars in the Side Driver and Side Rear Passenger categories, and four stars in the Frontal Driver and Frontal Passenger categories.[8] The IIHS rated the IS "Good" overall for frontal collisions and "Good" in all six measured front impact categories.[9] An official concept model, the MillenWorks-built Lexus IS 430 was unveiled at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2003.[10] The IS 430 prototype was an IS 300 fitted with a 4.3 L V8 from the Lexus GS.[11] Lexus dubbed the IS 430 a one-off with no plans for production. In Europe, Toyota Team Europe (TTE) shoehorned a supercharged 4.3 L V8 into an IS 300 bodyshell, the result was a 405 PS (298 kW) ECE sedan.

A pre-production car of the second generation IS model was shown at the 2005 Geneva Auto Show, with the production version debuting at the 2005 New York Auto Show. The new IS was the second debut of Lexus' new L-finesse design philosophy on a production vehicle, following the premiere of the 2006 Lexus GS performance sedan. The new IS design featured sleeker, coupe-like contours, a fastback profile, and a repeated arrowhead motif in the front fascia and side windows. The forward design was reminiscent of the earlier Lexus LF-C coupe concept. The new IS body resulted in a 0.28 Cd figure. The Toyota Altezza name ceased to be used with the introduction of the Lexus division in Japan. The slow-selling SportCross station wagon version was dropped from the lineup altogether. The chief engineer of the second generation IS was Suguya Fukusato, a rally driver.[12] For Japan, the United States and Canada, five IS models are sold by Lexus: IS 250 – 2.5 liter 4GR-FSE V6, 204 hp (153 kW) at 6400 rpm, 185 lb-ft at 4800 rpm, rear wheel drive IS 250 AWD – 2.5 liter 4GR-FSE V6 with all wheel drive (with front:rear torque split of 50:50 to 30:70), 204 hp (153 kW) IS 350 – 3.5 liter 2GR-FSE V6, 306 hp (228 kW), rear wheel drive IS 350 AWD – 3.5 liter 2GR-FSE V6 with all wheel drive, 306 hp (228 kW) IS F – 5.0 L 2UR-GSE V8, 417 hp ( 311 kW), rear wheel drive 2006–2008 Lexus IS 250 (GSE20; Europe) For the IS 250, IS 350, and IS F, engines feature the manufacturer's D-4S direct injection system; these models are ULEV-II certified in the United States. The IS line also features an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system which replaces the previous hydraulic steering pump. In parts of Europe, the three IS models sold by Lexus include the IS 250, IS 220d, and IS F. The IS 220d, available only in Europe, features a 2.2 L Inline-4 diesel engine, capable of 175 hp (130 kW), and rear wheel drive. The IS 220d is the first diesel-powered Lexus, and only offered with a manual transmission. The IS 250 is also available in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chile (automatic only), Taiwan, South Africa and South Korea. For China, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, and Middle East markets, one model, the IS 300, with a 3.0 L 3GR-FE V6 engine (without direct injection), 228 hp (170 kW), and rear wheel drive, is sold. The Lexus IS features standard dual front airbags, front row knee airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, and front side torso airbags.[13] The new IS also debuted its manufacturer's latest twin-chamber, V-shaped front airbags. The IS 250 comes with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system while the IS 350 uses a more advanced VDIM system which reacts sooner with less intrusive operation. 2006–2008 Lexus IS 250 (GSE20; U.S.) NHTSA crash test results in 2008 rated the IS the maximum five stars in the Side Driver and Rollover categories, and four stars in the Frontal Driver, Frontal Passenger, and Side Rear Passenger categories.[14] Euro NCAP scores were the maximum five stars in Adult Occupant, four stars in Child Occupant, and two of four stars in Pedestrian test categories.[15] The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Lexus IS a "Good" overall score for both front and side impact tests, and also ranks the IS "Good" in all fourteen measured categories in the front and side impact crash tests.[16][17] [edit] 2005–2008 The IS 250 (GSE20) went on sale in 2005 in Japan and North America in RWD (GSE20) and AWD (GSE25) configuration, along with the more powerful IS 350 RWD (GSE21) sedan. The IS 250 RWD comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, and a 6-speed automatic transmission is available as an option. All other gasoline-powered IS sedans are only available with the automatic. The IS 350 shares larger braking discs and calipers borrowed from the GS 430; the IS 350's larger discs are four-piston rather than the two-piston front calipers of the IS 250.[18] Citing independent testing by auto research firm AMCI, Lexus highlighted the IS 350's acceleration as the "fastest in its class" at its launch.[19] Second generation Lexus IS interior (GSE20) Compared to the first generation model, the second generation IS offers a more typical Lexus interior with a focus on luxurious accouterments. The interior features leather seats, lightsaber-like electroluminescent instrument display lighting and LED interior lighting accents, 10-way (including lumbar) driver and front passenger power seats, and the choice of faux-metallic or optional Bird's Eye Maple wood veneer trim made by Yamaha piano craftsmen.[20] Lexus' SmartAccess keyless entry with push-button start is a standard feature along with a memory system that can recall driver's seat, side mirror, and steering positions. A high-resolution 7" touchscreen DVD-based Gen V navigation system with voice-recognition, Bluetooth, a backup camera, and a 14-speaker Mark Levinson premium sound system are available as options. Other available features include perforated leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, moonroof, electrochromic side view mirrors, power rear sunshade, rain-sensing wipers, aluminum scuff plates, Intuitive Park Assist (IPA), bi-xenon headlamps, Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. A Pre-Collision System (PCS) is the first offered in the entry-luxury performance sedan market segment. Lexus IS Optitron instrument panel Some reviewers noted the second generation models as Lexus' first foray into the sport compact market that compared fairly well with its German competitors. However, prevailing criticisms were that its steering was not as communicative as that of the BMW 3 Series,[21] the rear seat legroom (while improved over the first generation) was still tight, and that the six speed manual was only available on the IS 250. The IS 350's performance was praised in the February 2007 Road & Track Japanese luxury sports sedan comparison, in which the IS took first place and clocked a 0–60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a 1/4 mile (~400 m) time of 13.5 seconds at 103.1 mph (165.9 km/h).[22] In response to criticism regarding the lack of a stability/traction control disable switch on 2006 IS models, Lexus added a VDIM/VSC off switch for the 2007 model year. For 2006 IS models, the stability control system/traction control system can be disabled through non-conventional methods by using a code during engine start.[23] In the 2007 IS models, in addition to the on/off switch for the traction-control system, Lexus added a roof-mounted shark-fin antenna in some markets. (The Australian delivered IS models did not receive the fin-style antenna until its first appearance on the IS F in 2008).[24][25] Furthermore, Lexus introduced a new badge into its lineup in 2007 - a new "X-Package" which was introduced into a number of countries. In the Australian market, it was introduced to celebrate the sale of the 5000th IS 250 in Australia.[26] The IS 250X came standard with: sport tuned suspension, exclusive 18-inch alloy five-spoke wheels, premium Mark Levinson 14 speaker stereo, moonroof, satellite navigation, rear camera and sports pedals.[26] The "X" also came in 3 colors: Onyx Black, Vermillion Red and Metallic Silver.[26] In order to retain the "exclusive" image, only 260 were released in the 2007 calendar year. The pricing started at A$64,390 for the 6 speed manual and rose to A$66,990 for the 6 speed semi-automatic.[26] There were a number of changes made to the 2008 IS 250X model. These included: changes to the steering system resulting in an improved steering feel, modified rear seats to improve rear room and the added choice of a new exterior colour - Arctic Blue. Lexus Australia also announced that 450 units would be released, compared to the 260 released the previous year.[27] Production of the IS 250X ceased in 2008. Lexus IS F (USE20; Europe) On 6 December 2006, Lexus officially confirmed the existence of a high-performance variant of the second generation IS which they called IS F in a press release.[28] The Lexus IS F sedan (USE20) premiered at the 2007 North American International Auto Show on January 8, 2007 as the launch product of Lexus' F marque lineup of performance-focused vehicles.[29] Images were leaked several hours prior to the debut,[30] and spy photos of prototype testing along with the IS 430 concept had hinted of the high-performance IS model. It was also reported that there would be a coupe and a convertible version for a later model, as well as a convertible version of the V8-powered IS. The vehicle features a 5.0 L direct-injected V8 producing 416 SAE hp (423 PS, 311 kW) at 6,600 rpm, while peak torque is 371 ft·lbf (503 N·m) at 5,200 rpm.[31] The engine also features a two-stage intake system, engine oil and transmission fluid coolers and an oil pump designed for high-speed cornering. The IS F project was led by Yukihiko Yaguchi, who worked on the Toyota Supra. Lexus IS F (USE20; Australia) The specifications upon release are as follows: starting price is US$56,000, 5.0L V8 engine, 416 hp (310 kW) at 6,600 rpm, 371 ft·lbf (503 N·m) torque at 5,200 rpm, 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds and a 12.385 seconds at 115.010 mph (185.1 km/h) in the 1/4 mile,[32] and a top speed of 170 mph (270 km/h) (electronically limited).[33] According to a test by Motor Trend, the IS F recorded a 331 hp (247 kW; 336 PS) and 276 pound-feet (374 N·m) of torque on a DynoJet dynamometer. Typical dyno results with 93 octane are 357+hp and 345+tq. Other results were tested by Automobile Magazine.[34] Further information: Lexus IS F 2009–2010 Lexus IS 250 (GSE20R) Prestige (with "F-Sport Package"; Australia) [edit] 2009–2010 The 2009 mid-cycle refresh included revised interior and exterior styling, the suspension and steering was retuned for improved stability and control, and the IS 250 gained VDIM as standard. After three years with only one body style, the IS returned with a second body style, this time in hardtop convertible form, debuting as the IS 250 C on 2 October 2008 at the Paris Mondial de l'Automobile (Paris Auto Show).[35] A more powerful IS 350 C also became available, with engine specifications analogous to those on the sedan models. For the 2009 model year the IS 250 also gains VDIM standard. Lexus IS 250 C (GSE20) at the 2009 Leipzig Auto Show The IS convertible features a three-piece aluminum hardtop that can retract in 21 seconds, a roof-brake mechanism slows panels as they close and near the windshield. The IS 250 C and IS 350 C are offered with a six-speed automatic, while the IS 250 C will also offer a manual transmission and all-wheel-drive version. The IS convertible's body carries a 0.29 Cd figure. The IS 250 C went on sale in Europe in 2009, with IS convertible sales for North America targeted for May 2009 as a 2010 model.[35] An IS 300 C is also being produced for certain regions. In March 2010, Lexus announced a special edition IS 350 C F-Sport model. Only 100 F-Sport editions will be made, and go on sale in late March 2010 for US$57,500. The IS 350 C F-Sport adds larger 19-inch alloy wheels, special edition badging, a new front grille, lowered and upgraded sport suspension, larger brakes, and special blue interior stitching on black leather seats.[36] [edit] 2010–present In late 2010, the IS line was revised further, with the IS 220d becoming the more efficient IS 200d due to engine retuning, a refreshed exterior with LED running lights, additional interior features, and dedicated IS F-Sport production models.[37] All-wheel drive options were also expanded besides the IS 250 AWD with the addition of the IS 350 AWD model in major markets.[38] [edit] Tuning Further information: Lexus F-Sport 2010 Lexus IS 350 C Design Project In 2007, Lexus announced a Project Vehicle Program for that year's SEMA show, centered around the high-performance IS F model. Lexus invited SEMA manufacturer members to submit their project Lexus vehicles for its show exhibition. It was the first time that the manufacturer had a formal presence at the aftermarket convention.[39] At the 2007 SEMA show, Lexus also launched a line of "F-Sport" parts and accessories for the IS 250/350.[40][41] The F-Sport line, including performance and accessory upgrades such as big brake kits, shocks, lowering springs, sway bars, chassis brace, light weight wheels, air intake, exhaust, engine cover, floor mats, shift knobs and also clutch for manual drive, was later expanded to the full IS lineup. At 2009 SEMA Show, F-Sport line also released upgrades for GS model vehicles as well.[42] [edit] Motorsport The first generation IS 200/300 and RS200 series was used by many racing teams, including TRD, to race in various touring car racing series across Asia. In Europe, the Lexus IS 200 was raced in the British Touring Car Championship (through organizations such as BTC Racing).[43] and the IS 300 was raced in the U.S. via the Motorola Cup North American Street Stock Championship touring car series (with the manufacturer-sanctioned Team Lexus). In 2001, Team Lexus entered three IS 300s in the third race of the 2001 Grand-Am Cup season at Phoenix, Arizona,[44] and won their first IS 300 victory that year at the Virginia International Raceway.[44] In 2002, Team Lexus raced the IS 300 in the Grand-Am Cup ST1 (Street Tuner) class, winning both the Drivers' and Team Championships,[45][46] as well as a sweep of the top three finishes at Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Quebec, Canada.[47] IS 350 WedsSport race car which competed in the 2008 GT300 season and won the 2009 GT300 class In 2008, the second generation IS 350 was entered in the Super GT race series in the GT300 class (cars with approximately 300 horsepower). Extensively modified from the factory car, with upgrades including a V8 engine,[48] the #19 Team Racing Project Bandoh IS 350 driven by Manabu Orido and Tsubasa Abe achieved its first victory in its fifth race at the Motegi GT300 race.[49] Other IS 350 GT300 competitors included those of the WedsSport and Green Tec/Kumho teams.[48] In 2009, two manufacturer sanctioned Racing Project/Bandoh and Team Reckless/Shift IS 350s were also announced for competition, both equipped with 3.0L V8 engines.[50] The Project Bandoh WedsSport IS 350, driven by Manabu Orido and Tatsuya Kataoka, won both driver and team title in the GT300 class that season.[51] Lexus IS 350 at Road Atlanta Formula Drift event In April 2009, a Lexus IS F entered by Gazoo Racing finished second to the team's Lexus LF-A in the SP8 class[52] in the ADAC-Westfalenfahrt VLN 4h endurance race. A IS F was also entered in the 2009 24 Hours Nürburgring race and finished third in the SP8 class.[53] In August 2009, an IS F entered by Gazoo Racing and driven by Peter Lyon, Hideshi Matsuda, and Kazunori Yamauchi won the SP8 class at the DMV Grenzlandrennen VLN race.[54][55] Kazunori Yamauchi is the developer of Gran Turismo series,[55] of which the IS line is playable in several versions, and the IS F racer carried test equipment for future game modes.[56] The 3 drivers, along with Owen Mildenhall, participated in the 2010 24 Hours Nürburgring and finished in 4th place in the SP8 class, behind the 1st place ranked Lexus LFA.[57] [edit] Sales and production Lexus IS F, IS 350 models at an owners meet in Los Angeles, California For the first generation IS in the U.S. market, sales hit a high of 22,486 units in 2001; subsequent sales years were less than forecast, and below the 10,000-unit mark in 2004.[58][59] The IS 200 fared better relative to sales targets in Europe and Asia, while still well short of the sales volume achieved by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and other, mostly German-made competitors. This trend was indicative of Lexus' smaller global status; while Lexus' range of cars is very successful in North America, the marque's sales still lag behind its German rivals in Europe.[60] In Europe, the lack of a manual gearbox option for the IS 300 may have limited sales in contrast to its rivals, the BMW 3-Series and the Mercedes C-Class. The introduction of the second generation IS model marked a resurgence in sales, with a 332% increase overall in 2006 compared to the previous year.

Now in its fifth generation, the series has been consistently built on the Toyota Camry platform with a V6 engine, automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. For much of its existence, the Lexus ES has anchored the entry-level luxury car segment of the Lexus lineup in North America, a position it maintained until the introduction of the Lexus IS sport luxury sedans in 2001. It was Lexus' only front-wheel drive vehicle until 1999, when the related Lexus RX 300 arrived. For over fifteen years, the Lexus ES has been the best-selling Lexus sedan in the United States.[1][2][3] The first through fourth generation Lexus ES sedans shared body styling elements with Japan-market Toyota sedans, and a domestic market equivalent, the Toyota Windom (トヨタ・ウィンダム), was sold until the launch of the fifth generation ES in 2006. The fifth generation ES 350, featuring Lexus' own L-finesse body styling, was unveiled in the spring of 2006 as a 2007 model. Like the previous generation ES 330 model, the fifth generation Lexus ES is geared towards the comfort luxury segment, with an emphasis on interior amenities, quietness, and a smooth ride.[4] Contents 1 First generation (V20) 1.1 1989–1991 2 Second generation (XV10) 2.1 1991–1993 2.2 1993–1996 3 Third generation (XV20) 3.1 1996–1999 3.2 1999–2001 4 Fourth generation (XV30) 4.1 2001–2003 4.2 2003–2005 5 Fifth generation (XV40) 5.1 2006–2009 5.2 2009–present 6 Sales and production 7 Technical specifications 8 Awards 9 References 10 External links [edit] First generation (V20) First generation Also called Toyota Camry Prominent (V20) Toyota Vista (V20) Production 1989–1991 Assembly Japan: Toyota, Aichi Engine(s) 2.5 L 2VZ-FE V6 Transmission(s) 5-speed manual 4-speed A540E automatic Wheelbase 102 in (2,591 mm) Length 183.1 in (4,651 mm) Width 66.9 in (1,699 mm) Height 53.1 in (1,349 mm) [edit] 1989–1991 The first Lexus ES (VZV21) debuted in January 1989 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit as part of the launch of the Lexus division. In order to avoid introducing the nameplate with only one model, the LS 400, Lexus debuted the ES alongside their flagship sedan. The smaller representative of the initial two-sedan Lexus lineup was designated the ES 250, and powered by the Camry's 2.5 L, 156 hp (116 kW) V6, which was aimed directly at the Acura Legend. The ES 250 was based on the Toyota Camry Prominent/Vista (V20),[5] Japan-market sedans which were never sold in the United States. Interior of Lexus ES 250 (VZV21) On the exterior, the ES 250 shared the same general body style and overall dimensions as its Toyota counterparts, but had a more prominent grille, bigger tail lights, chrome trim, frameless windows, and distinct wheel design similar to its LS brethren. Inside the cabin, the ES 250 featured a six-speaker Pioneer sound system, genuine wood trim, one-touch power windows, and leather seats. A four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission was offered. The Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission (ECT) featured "normal" and "power" modes. Safety features included a driver's SRS airbag and anti-lock brakes. In typical specification, the ES 250 further included 15-inch alloy wheels, a power driver's seat, power moonroof, and CD player.[6] Leather upholstery was common equipment,[6] despite being listed as an option, while some ES 250s were also produced with cloth interiors. Rear view of Lexus ES 250 (VZV21) In September 1989, the ES 250 and the flagship LS 400 went on sale in the United States. The ES 250 was marketed as the "luxury sedan of sports sedans," and carried a U.S. market suggested base price of approximately $22,000. During the first month of release, the ES 250 logged 1,216 units in sales.[7] However, these numbers were eclipsed by the larger LS sedan, which unlike the ES was built on a unique and all-new platform. The original LS had been envisioned as a standalone model, but Lexus dealerships had asked for an additional vehicle to accompany its launch. Due to its similarities to the Camry, some viewed the ES 250 as a placeholder product of badge engineering and the vehicle ultimately did not sell as well as its larger counterpart. Initial perception of the ES led some to believe all the development time and research spent creating the larger LS showed that they overlooked one of the reasons the LS was developed, which was the 1986 Acura Legend, so it seems that the appearance of the LS was shrunk to fit the ES so as to compete with the Legend. Production totaled 19,534 units in 1990 and 17,942 units in 1991, most for the automatic transmission model. The ES 250 was built from August 30, 1989 until July 5, 1991. Because of its relatively brief production run, the ES 250 is a rare model on U.S. roads today. [edit] Second generation (XV10) Second generation Also called Toyota Windom (JDM) Production 1991–1996 Model year(s) 1992–1996 Assembly Toyota City, Japan Engine(s) 2.5 L 2MZ-FE V6 (JDM) 3.0 L 3VZ-FE V6 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6 Transmission(s) 5-speed manual 4-speed A540E/A541E automatic Wheelbase 103.1 in (2,619 mm) Length 187.8 in (4,770 mm) Width 1991-93: 70.1 inches (1,780 mm) 1993-96: 70.0 inches (1,780 mm) Height 53.9 in (1,369 mm) Related Toyota Camry (XV10) [edit] 1991–1993 In September 1991, for the 1992 model year, Lexus unveiled the second generation Lexus ES (VCV10) almost one year after the introduction of the second generation Acura Legend October 24, 1990. Completely redesigned and now sharing design features with the VCV10-series Toyota Windom and styling cues with the LS 400,[8] the model was renamed the ES 300 to reflect the half-liter bump in engine displacement. The ES 300 sported a 185 hp (138 kW) 3.0 L 3VZ-FE V6 engine and had an advertised 0-60 time of 7.9 seconds. In Japan, a 172 hp (128 kW), 2.5 L 2MZ-FE version using the same body style was made available in October 1993 (including the VCV-11 Windom). Compared to its Camry relatives, the ES 300 featured separate styling, a different suspension setup (front and rear independent MacPherson strut) and 200 lb (91 kg) more weight[9] due to asphalt insulation in the body panels, additional on-board equipment, and other differences. As with its predecessor, anti-lock brakes were standard. A 5-speed E53 manual or 4-speed A540/1E automatic transmission was offered. 1994 Lexus ES 300 interior (VCV10) The second generation ES was significantly larger and more curvaceous than its predecessor, gaining five inches (127 mm) in length and three inches (76 mm) of width. On the front fascia, the ES gained projector headlamps in a curved housing and a three-slat grille with the Lexus emblem moved above on the hood. The side profile featured an invisible B-pillar and frameless-window doors. The rear deck lid featured an integrated spoiler effect similar to the flagship LS 400, improving the ES' aerodynamics (drag coefficient, Cd 0.32). Inside the cabin, the second generation ES featured California Walnut trim on the center console, leather seats, an eight-speaker premium sound system, and keyless entry. The added wheelbase length and overall width made for increased legroom and shoulder space than the previous model. 1992–1993 Lexus ES 300 (VCV10; Australia) Production assembly of the ES 300 commenced on September 9, 1991, and the sedan went on sale later that year in the U.S. as a 1992 model. The sedan was not released in Europe, where similar Toyota models were offered. The second generation ES was a major sales success, becoming Lexus' best-selling vehicle overall. In its first full year of sales, the ES logged 39,652 units,[2] and throughout the following years of its production run, sales reached near or above that figure. Initial base price was $26,550 in the U.S. (increased to over $30,000 in later years). By 1994, in part because of the rising yen and high demand,[10] the manufacturer's suggested retail price had increased to $31,200, 19.3 percent more than the original 1992 figure.[11] [edit] 1993–1996 Minor updates were introduced in 1993 for the 1994 model year, including: a revised grille insert, a new passenger side airbag, outside air temp readout, and CFC-free air conditioning. In North America, the 1993 update introduced the new all-aluminum 1MZ-FE engine with 188 hp (140 kW). This change in engine resulted in a change in model code for the car (now known as the MCV10 series). Other markets retained the 3VZ-FE engine (keeping the VCV10 model code). Different signal and fog lights were added in 1995, and the five-speed manual transmission was discontinued after 1993. In 1996, Lexus offered an ES 300 "Coach Edition," featuring select Coach leather trim in the interior and a set of Coach luggage. Despite being its final year of sales, the 1996 ES 300 logged a 21 percent increase in sales over the previous year,[7] and 40,735 units were produced that year. [edit] Third generation (XV20) Third generation Also called Lexus ES 300 Toyota Windom (JDM) Production 1996–2001 Model year(s) 1997–2001 Assembly Kyūshū, Japan Engine(s) 2.5 L 2MZ-FE V6 (JDM) 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6 (VVT-i) Transmission(s) 4-speed A541E automatic Wheelbase 105.1 in (2,670 mm) Length 190.2 in (4,831 mm) Width 70.5 in (1,791 mm) Height 54.9 in (1,394 mm) Related Toyota Camry (XV20) [edit] 1996–1999 The third generation ES (designated MCV20) premiered in September 1996 for the 1997 model year, featuring a design that was an evolution of the VCV10. The new cars featured a 30 percent stiffer body with a more rakish profile and sharper lines, reflector headlights (as opposed to projector headlights), and a more upscale-feeling interior. Introduced at a gala event on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills hosted by actress Sharon Stone,[12] the ES 300 featured one powertrain option, a 200 hp (150 kW) 3.0 liter V6 (a 197 hp (147 kW), 2.5 liter 2MZ-FE V6 was also offered in the Japan-market Windom) and a four-speed automatic. The third generation ES was also slightly longer (overall length increased by 2.4-inch (61.0 mm)) but weighed less than the previous model, and its drag coefficient was Cd 0.29, improved over its predecessor. For the first time, an Adaptive Variable Suspension, capable of adjusting individual wheels dampers according to road conditions (within 0.0025 seconds), was offered. MY1997–2000 ES 300 interior (MCV20; U.S.) Inside the cabin, the ES 300 featured a new electroluminescent Lexus Optitron instrument panel, walnut trim, and leather seats. Other luxury standard features included heated outside mirrors and an automatic climate control system. A power moonroof, Nakamichi premium sound system with in-glove-box mounted CD changer, and heated seats were options. The U.S. base price of the 1997 ES 300 was $30,395. The third generation Lexus ES expanded upon the success of the previous generation model, reaching a record-setting 58,430 units in sales in its first year,[12] and recording sales in the 35,000-50,000 range throughout its production run. 1996–1999 Lexus ES 300 (MCV20R) LXS sedan (Australia) In 1997 for the 1998 model year, the ES received a few updates, mainly consisting of a revised supplemental restraint system (next generation), standard front row side-torso airbags, and force limiting seat belt pretensioners that were designed to tighten the front seat passengers into their seats upon impact. Transponder chips were now also used in the keys as to provide added protection from theft. The power rating grew to 210 hp (157 kW) in 1998 (1999 model year) due to the new 1MZ-FE engine with variable valve timing (VVT-i).[13] The Lexus IS was introduced to European markets in 1999 and became the luxury marque's entry-level model; by this time the Lexus ES was no longer sold in most European markets. Recent versions of the Lexus ES were sold in North America, Asia, and Australia. [edit] 1999–2001 MY2000–2001 Lexus ES 300 (MCV20; U.S.) The ES 300 received a mild facelift in 1999 for the 2000 model year that consisted of new, clear tail lights and turn signals, a revised front end with a new grill, headlights, and lower bumper with clear fog lights and larger alloy wheels. Inside, the interior received an electrochromatic mirror, more wood trim and slight revisions to the audio system. Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlights with auto-leveling were now optional. From 1998 through 2001 (1999 to 2001 model years), a limited "Coach Edition" was offered, and in 1999 for 2000, a "Platinum Edition" package was offered, including power moonroof, unique interior trim, and custom alloy wheels.[14] [edit] Fourth generation (XV30) Fourth generation Also called Lexus ES 300 Lexus ES 330 Toyota Windom (JDM) Production 2001–2006 Model year(s) 2002–2006 Assembly Kyūshū, Japan Engine(s) 3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6 3.3 L 3MZ-FE V6 Transmission(s) 5-speed U151E automatic Wheelbase 2,720 mm (107.1 in) Length 4,853 mm (191.1 in) Width 1,811 mm (71.3 in) Height 1,455 mm (57.3 in) Related Toyota Camry (XV30) [edit] 2001–2003 The larger, fourth generation ES (designated MCV30) debuted in 2001 for the 2002 model year, one year after the Lexus IS became Lexus' entry-level car. The presence of the IS in the Lexus lineup enabled the company to give the new ES 300 a more upscale image and luxury feel by excising the sporting pretensions of the previous ES models.[15] Compared to its predecessor, the new ES possessed an interior with a greater emphasis on comfort, superior NVH isolation, larger and softer seats, and improved interior materials. On the exterior, the ES gained a more rounded shape than its predecessor, with pulled-back headlamps and a single-tone color scheme with chrome trim. New design elements similar to the LS sedan included a rear quarter window and wrap-around taillamps with a diagonal edge. The more aerodynamic shape had a drag coefficient of Cd 0.28. In Japan, the MCV30 Windom received a 2-star LEV rating. Lexus ES 300 interior (MCV30) Despite the additional features and added weight, neither the acceleration nor the handling of the ES suffered. Other new features included a drive-by-wire electronic throttle, a five-speed automatic transmission, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist as well as electronic stability and traction control systems. The fourth generation Lexus ES was built in Kyūshū and Toyota, Aichi, Japan.[16] The cabin was fitted with California Walnut wood trim on the front dashboard, center console, and doors. Exterior puddle lamps, floor-well lighting, chrome door handles, an electric rear sunblind, and rear-view mirrors that would automatically tilt downward in reverse gear contributed to a more upscale feel. Available options, including a power rear sunshade, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a DVD-based navigation system, and a Mark Levinson premium stereo system, were similar to features on the flagship LS 430 sedan. MY2002–2003 ES 300 (MCV30) The fourth generation ES 300/330 continued the solid success of the ES series for Lexus. Despite an increase in price befitting its more upscale amenities (2002 base price of $32,080), ES sales jumped to 71,450 in its first year,[17] making the Lexus ES the best-selling luxury car in the United States.[7] Throughout its production run, the fourth generation ES was Lexus' best-selling sedan, and outsold only in the Lexus model range by the RX luxury utility vehicle. NHTSA crash test results in 2003 rated the ES 300 the maximum five stars in the Frontal Driver, Frontal Passenger, and Side Driver categories, and four stars in the Side Rear Passenger and Rollover categories.[18] [edit] 2003–2005 2005–2006 Lexus ES 330 (MCV31) During 2003, for the 2004 model year, the American market received a revised 3.3 liter engine producing 225 horsepower (168 kW) (later revised to 218 horsepower (163 kW), because of changes in SAE power testing procedures), and the car was renamed the ES 330 (codename MCV31, however, the 3.0 L engine MCV30 model was still available). Lexus released the limited ES 330 "SportDesign" special edition in 2004. The model featured the Adaptive Variable Suspension, 17-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels, Mark Levinson audio, interior upgrades, and special dark exterior colors. In 2004 for the 2005 model year, the ES received a facelift with new front and rear fascias, clear taillights, projector headlights, and a redesigned grille. Inside, new features included standard audio and display steering wheel-mounted controls, power adjustable pedals and heated and ventilated front seats. Additionally, new Bird's Eye Maple trim brightened the interior and integrated satellite radio was offered as an option. Lexus also offered an exclusive ES 330 "Black Diamond Edition" in 2005, featuring black wood trim, iridescent Black Diamond paint, and a set of Tumi luggage. [edit] Fifth generation (XV40) Fifth generation Also called Lexus ES 350/240 Production 2006–present Model year(s) 2007–present Assembly Miyawaka, Fukuoka, Japan Engine(s) 2.4 L 2AZ-FE I4 3.5 L 2GR-FE V6 Transmission(s) 6-speed U660E automatic Wheelbase 2,776 mm (109.3 in) Length 4,853 mm (191.1 in) Width 1,821 mm (71.7 in) Height 1,450–1,430 mm (57.1–56.3 in) Related Toyota Aurion Toyota Camry (XV40) Main article: Lexus ES (XV40) [edit] 2006–2009 The fifth generation ES (GSV40) debuted at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2006, featuring an all-new body in the style of Lexus' new design philosophy, L-finesse. The new design is sleeker than its predecessor, with a streamlined cabin and character lines across the hood, fenders, and rear pillars, and carries a coefficient of drag of Cd 0.28.[19] The vehicle also no longer shared its body style with Japanese market models, as the previously related Toyota Windom was discontinued for the 2007 model year. The new ES, now called the ES 350, features the first use of a six-speed automatic transmission in a front-wheel drive Toyota vehicle along with its sister U.S. car, the Toyota Camry. The engine is the 272 hp (203 kW) aluminum 3.5 L 2GR-FE V6 engine with intake and exhaust variable valve timing. Lexus estimates that this combination will accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than 7 seconds. Lexus ES 350 interior (GSV40) The ES 350 interior features walnut wood accents, leather seats, dual zone climate control with air filter, an MP3 player auxiliary input, power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and eight standard airbags. A keyless entry and ignition system, Lexus SmartAccess, is now standard,[20] while options range from a 300-watt, 14-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system, to sonar-based warning system with backup camera. An "Ultra Luxury Package" added a three-panel panoramic glass moonroof. The ES also features a secondary start system, that runs on battery, so that the driver does not have to use the engine for accessory functions. The secondary system will let the driver use the radio, GPS, Bluetooth, and air conditioning/heating. Moonroof-equipped ES 350 (GSV40) The ES 350 arrived at U.S. dealerships in late April 2006 as a 2007 model. That year, the ES 350 was launched in North America, the Middle East, China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau), South Korea and Taiwan. Like its predecessors, the fifth generation ES continued to be made in Japan,[21] at the Kyūshū plant in Fukuoka, Japan.[22] Despite being built in the country, the ES 350 was not sold in the Japanese market, as well as the other regions with right-hand drive. NHTSA crash test results in 2007 rated the ES 350 the maximum five stars in the Frontal Driver, Frontal Passenger, and Side Driver categories, and four stars in the Side Rear Passenger and Rollover categories.[23] [edit] 2009–present 2010 ES 350 (GSV40; US) In 2009, the 2010 model year ES underwent a mid-cycle facelift, with revised front and rear styling including a reshaped grille, taillight designs, and new wheels. The updated interior featured added wood and chrome accents, with upgraded VoiceBox speech recognition, Bluetooth phone book downloading, and Lexus Insider, XM Weather, Sports, and Stocks reports. Bluetooth streaming audio and a USB port that includes iPod integration is now built into the stereo. In the Chinese auto market, the 2010 ES lineup added a second model, the ES 240, which was produced to comply with the country's new emission laws for luxury cars,[24] making this the first gasoline four-cylinder Lexus since the 2005 IS.
