In recent years, the fandom of Japanese cars in China has increased sharply, making the proportion of Japanese cars in the domestic market skyrocket. Especially when Volkswagen's reputation declined, Toyota, as the main contributor to Japanese car sales, seized the opportunity to "force the palace", although Toyota has not yet "forced the palace" for the time being, but in the process of "forcing the palace", it has indeed achieved good sales. In addition, Toyota's luxury brand , Lexus, has also performed well in recent years, and with the way of parity or mark-up sales, it is positioned in the second-tier luxury market, and the bicycle transaction price is also comparable to the first-line luxury brand bicycle transaction price, so I think lexus is very likely to become another luxury brand after the BBA.
Lexus's action this year is not small, and the replacement of many of its models has been put on the process, among which Lexus's "new giant" - Lexus IS, was unveiled in China through the Macau Auto Show in November this year. The appearance of the new IS adopts a new family design, and the core power part has also been greatly modified, bringing us a different Lexus IS.
Let's take a look at the appearance, although the new car adopts a new family design, the sharpness presented is still very strong. The spindle grille occupies most of the front of the car, and the lower half of the grille is slightly extended on both sides, which has the effect of expanding the gills. The upper part of the grille is flanked by long and narrow headlights, and the strips inside the headlights are designed with the shape of a logo arrow, which is like a finishing touch, improving the ferocity of the front face.
When you come to the side, you can see the high waist line passing through the door handle, and the concave D-pillar creates a narrow upper and lower width of the body, improving the stability of the car. There are not many lines at the doors, and the layering of the concave carvings is also very strong, which also enhances the fluidity of the body. The rear of the car is equipped with through taillights, which have an angular and irregular design, which looks very Lexus. A large black skid plate wraps around the rear bumper, and the bottom is also inlaid with two-sided circular exhaust ports to improve the movement of the rear of the car.
Looking at the interior, the three-panel multi-functional black steering wheel is very eye-catching, and the dashboard seems to use a double gun barrel design, which is still quite textured in the era of LCD screens. The center console on the other side is divided into a double-layer design, all wrapped in leather, and the square shape of the central control screen is leaning on the junction of the first and second floors of the center console, the air conditioning outlet below the screen is decorated with silver decorative strips, and if the line of sight is moved down, you can see many physical buttons, and the physical buttons are decorated with black bright boards around them to improve the luxury in the car.
When a man with a height of 176cm sits in the main driver's seat, after adjusting the appropriate driving posture, the head has 4 fingers of space; sitting in the back row, the head has 2 fingers of the remaining space, and the leg has the remaining space of 1 punch and 2 fingers, which can easily the legs of Erlang. The seats are leather-wrapped and the backrest is divided by stitches to enhance driving comfort while highlighting the high-end.
Finally, the power, the old Lexus IS in the field of sports achievements are not small, but on this basis, the new car is now equipped with a 2.5L engine as the core of the hybrid system, that is to say, the new car is equipped with a maximum power of 181 horsepower engine, but also equipped with a maximum power of 143 horsepower motor, improve the performance but also reduce fuel consumption, coupled with the rear drive system, so that Lexus IS's understanding of sports to a higher level.
In summary, the recognition of Lexus IS's appearance is not low, and the power has also been greatly improved, not only strong power, fuel economy and guarantee. In addition, according to the previous price of Lexus IS, the new Lexus IS with enhanced product strength may sell for 300,000 yuan at a starting price. Such a price is indeed not expensive for an imported luxury car, but there are many competitive models, such as BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, these two first-line luxury cars are in hand 300,000 can be started.
