    Lexus IS 2014

    Next Lexus IS to be Mini GS, Offer Euro-Only Hybrid



    Joining the Bavarian automakers, Lexus’s future lineup of sedans will be better described as “small, medium, and large” than as three disparately styled vehicles. We’ve learned from sources on a number of continents that when the next IS comes to market for the 2014 model year, it will draw heavily on the look of the new GS and revised LS . The smaller IS could be even more aggressively styled as the company tries to make a name for what has been a relatively anonymous entry. It’s possible we’ll see the car as early as September, at the Paris auto show .

    “When you’re a challenger brand . . . you can’t afford to be evolutionary,” a Lexus exec recently told Australia’s The Age newspaper. To that end, we’re expecting a rakish IS sedan, which may be shaped to look particularly low and wide, like the current IS F. The teaser image above, released earlier this year, shows the IS’s corporate “spindle” grille—an attractive design feature that probably didn’t need as much attention as Lexus has given it—along with a liberal use of high-intensity lighting, including LEDs.

    We’ve also learned that the U.S. is unlikely to see the hybrid version of the next IS. It’s being developed with Europe in mind, where Lexus has defined its brand as a luxury hybrid company. (In England, for instance, the RX and LS are offered exclusively in hybrid form.) In the U.S., however, Lexus’s hybrid-focused marketing strategy has had only mixed results. The CT200h sells pretty well, and roughly one in eight RX sales are for the hybrid. But customers never warmed up to the last-gen GS450h, and Lexus dealers move fewer than 10 LS hybrids per month. Adding heavy, expensive, complicated batteries and motors to the IS probably just isn’t worth it for a few dozen sales, which can instead go to the ES and CT hybrids.

    Unfortunately, our sources haven’t been able to pass along any info about the next high-performance IS F. But we haven’t given up yet.

      Eu bem estranhei não encontrar um tópico teu sobre o modelo em causa . Escapou-me durante a pesquisa.

      Assim o farei.
