This sporty addition to the IS range expresses its performance credentials with a full body kit and 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels on the outside. Aluminium scuff plates and pedals add subtle visual enhancements on the inside. Heated front seats are also fitted as standard. The IS 250 SR is designed to deliver some of the sporting allure of the IS F and IS 250 Sport at a high value price. Based on the entry-level IS 250, the new model is packed with features that have a combined customer value of more than £3,500, yet the price tag is less than £1,000 greater model-for-model. Key standard features include 10 airbags, climate control, cruise control, smart keyless entry and engine start and sequenced LED interior lighting. The car’s already powerful lines are enhanced with deep skirts to the front, rear and sides and a rear spoiler. Owners who want an even more sporty statement can specify five-spoke 18-inch Tsuki rims. Powered by a 204bhp 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine, the IS 250 SR will accelerate from rest to 62mph in 8.1 seconds (8.4 with the optional six-speed automatic transmission) and progress to a top speed in excess of 140mph. Three exterior colours are available: Velvet Black and Cadoxton Slate and Argento Ice metallic finishes. All are matched to Worcester Black interior fabric trim.

Photos : Lexus Is250 Lexus IS250 SR : AN SR IS BORN Expert Rating: Were having to get used to the idea of sporty Lexus models. Heres another one. Jonathan Crouch checks out the IS250 SRIt wasnt long ago that Lexus really didnt have to be sporty. The brand could leave that kind of thing to rival German marques and concentrate on delivering sheer, undiluted luxury. No longer. The Japanese are beginning to want to challenge the Teutonic marques at their own game. Proper evidence of this came with the launch of the storming 417bhp V8 IS F model, aimed directly at BMWs M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG. The problem is of course that not everyone wants or is able to spend £50,000 on an executive saloon. But that doesnt mean they wouldnt be open to a compact executive saloon with just the right balance between luxury and sportiness. Something perhaps with the allure of a Lexus IS F that feels more purposeful than a standard IS 250 Sport. Enter the Lexus IS250 SR. This carefully targeted addition to the IS range expresses its performance credentials with a full body kit and 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels on the outside. Aluminium scuff plates and pedals add subtle visual enhancements on the inside. Heated front seats are also fitted as standard. In total, this model is packed with features that have a combined customer value of more than £3,500, yet the price tag (£24,990 for the manual and £25,800 for the automatic) is less than £1,000 greater than that being demanded for a standard entry-level IS 250 variant. Key standard features include 10 airbags, climate control, cruise control, smart keyless entry and engine start and sequenced LED interior lighting. The cars already powerful lines are enhanced with deep skirts to the front, rear and sides and a rear spoiler. Owners who want an even more sporty statement can specify five-spoke 18-inch Tsuki rims. Three exterior colours are available: Velvet Black and Cadoxton Slate and Argento Ice metallic finishes. All are matched to Worcester Black interior fabric trim. The Lexus V6 engine certainly isnt this cars weakest link. Although 204bhp isnt a huge amount of power for an engine of this ilk, the power delivery is smooth and creamy and works very well when mated to an automatic gearbox. The manual car betrays a very slight hole in low-down torque that can prove slightly annoying when pulling out of junctions. The fact that the peak torque figure is reached at a relatively high 4,800rpm demonstrates that this is an engine that likes to register a few revs on the board."This is one of those cars you really have to drive to appreciate"Once youve got it dialled in, the IS250 shows a fair turn of speed. Itll make 60mph from rest in 8.1 seconds and run on to 146mph. Fuel economy is so-so, with real world users probably eking around 22 or 23 miles from a gallon of 95RON. Plus, an emissions of rating of 231g/km isnt a standout figure from a manufacturer of eco-friendly hybrid vehicles. As with any Lexus, the IS250 impresses with its sheer depth of electronic engineering. A full colour display shows images from a camera mounted in the number plate surround for easy parking. The Lexus Navigation System is also something to behold, with a DVD-based mapping system that offers lightning quick draw rates and speed of calculation. A super-detailed map function of many major European cities even offers drivers advice on when they need to change lane to make an impending turn. Voice activation allows English, French or German drivers the ability to marshal the audio, air conditioning and phone systems. The touch screen and voice combinations make the IS250s infotainment system a whole lot easier to use in traffic than many rivals systems. A Bluetooth phone system allows for hands free phone control with twenty voice tags stored and 1,000 contact numbers from a phone being accessible via either the touch screen, steering pad switches or voice control. Its worth spending a while on the optional Mark Levinson premium sound system thats supplied with the Multimedia pack. With fourteen speakers and 300-watts, this system uses an in-dash six-DVD autochanger to offer hours of high quality music. Offering the segments first complete 5.1 home theatre entertainment experience, no detail has been left to chance. Mark Levinson even requested that certain components in the Lexus ISs cabin be made more rigid to prevent unwelcome resonances. An auxiliary socket concealed in the centre console box allows iPods to be linked in. One of the key design elements of the first generation IS the chronograph style instruments has been dropped in this Mk2 model in favour of a more conventional fascia. This means that although the quality and ergonomic excellence of the Iatest IS interior is virtually beyond reproach, theres now no longer a signature styling point to really catch the eye. The side air vents at first seem a little oddly positioned, but Lexus attribute this to the principle of Hazushi to shift out of phase. This expresses the notion of something that is part of the whole but, at the same time, retaining its independence. A strong and independent air vent must be a happy air vent. One complaint levelled at the original IS was the rather tight rear quarters and the addition of another 60mm to the latest cars wheelbase has done much to solve this problem. Consult the specification sheet and it becomes apparent that in one fell swoop, the IS has gone from being one of the meanest in terms of rear knee room to near the top of the class. Boot space at 378 litres isnt great, Lexus still having lessons to learn when it comes to packaging plenty of useable space into a tight overall footprint. Check out the specs of rival German models and its clear that none can offer a comparably equipped package at the £30,000 price point. Overall though, this is one of those cars you really have to drive to appreciate. Not because its the sharpest steer in the class but because at the end of the day, you may well conclude that on most roads, most of the time, the balance between comfort and sportiness of an IS 250 is one that works better.Facts At A Glance CAR: Lexus IS250 SR PRICES: £24,990-£25,800 on the road INSURANCE GROUP: 13E-14E CO2 EMISSIONS: 231g/km PERFORMANCE: 0-60mph 8.1s / Max Speed 144mph FUEL CONSUMPTION: (urban) 20.9mpg / (extra urban) 36.7mpg / (combined) 28.8mpg STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES: Twin front, side and curtain airbags / ABS / ESP Build Comfort Depreciation Economy Equipment Handling Insurance Performance Styling Value Friday May 23 Send by Messenger Email this article Print ADVERTISEMENT if(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object(); window.yzq_d['WsfHPlf4eEM-']='&U=13oj8bsgt%2fN%3dWsfHPlf4eEM-%2fC%3d200101456.201942216.203232434.201252045%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d200784458%2fV%3d1'; Car Videos Paris Motor Show See the world's newest carsbefore they hit the road.
