While European sedans are all the rage among those seeking a luxury option, you can always depend on the reliability of a well-made Japanese car. So when Lexus signs its name to the IS300 and IS300h duet, there is already an assurance that you’re stepping into a gifted star. With a subset of three variants to choose from, there is a generous level of value found in each of the vehicles specs list, regardless of whether you prefer a conventional fuel engine, or hybrid electric motor. In the case of the former, a four-cylinder 2L motor cranks up to 180kW and 350Nm, while the 2.5L hybrid settles for 164kW. One difference between the two is the transmission, with the IS300 opting for an eight-speed auto gearbox, and the IS300h incorporating a CVT unit. Both are decisive and trusty when flicking between the gears, leaving you wondering how else things can get better. And the answer to that is built into every model, with each variant sporting a large multimedia screen, sat-nav, dual-zone climate control, supple leather, 10 airbags, auto high-beam, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. With noble looks, the IS300 is sure to be a source of contentment in your life. And that’s before you are captivated by its mid-range grunt, brisk pace and dynamic qualities in the Sport variants. With all that, it’s over to you to make the most of that.
