Lexus is introducing a new version of its IS sports saloon that comes laden with extra features at an exceptional value price.

In addition to the regular SE specification, the new IS 200d Advance models come equipped with a hard disc drive (HDD) satellite navigation system, rear parking camera, heated electrically adjustable front seats, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, rain-sensing windscreen wipers and an auto-dimming rear view mirror.

It’s the kind of options tick-list that should add up to a hefty price premium, yet the new Advance IS 200d costs just an extra £130 compared its SE equivalent (£24,995)

Even more appealing is the fact that, comparing like for like specifications, the IS 200d diesel returning an official 134g/km CO2 emissions and 55.4mpg combined cycle fuel economy – offering better specification than the BMW 318d SE and the Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140 Technik.

Factor in Lexus’s unchallenged industry-leading customer service, and hallmark comfort, quality and refinement and the new IS Advance models become an even stronger proposition.  The Lexus IS 200d Advance is on sale now.
