Lexus Australia sells 10,000th IS 250

July 18th 2008 00:15

Lexus Australia has sold its 10,000th IS 250 sedan, 32 months after the current model went on sale, making it the most in-demand Lexus of all time in Australia.

At the heart of all IS 250 models is a 2.5-litre quad-cam V6 producing 153 kW of power and 252 Nm of torque which also delivers exceptional fuel economy of 9.1 litres/100kms in the automatic transmission. Combined with various trim levels and an extensive list of standard feature (including the world's first twin-chamberfront passenger SRS airbags), the IS 250 has claimed Australia’s Best Prestige Car for two years in a row (2006, 2007) at the Australia's Best Car Awards.

And the popularity of the model shows no signs of abating either for a number of reasons - the IS 250 Prestige variant is unaffected by the new Luxury Car Tax with a RRP of $56,990 and of course, there is also the exciting high performance IS F sedan due in Australia later this year.

The IS F, which has been completely re-engineered, will feature a newly developed 5.0-litre quad-cam V8 engine and a high performance eight-speed sequential gearbox.

Lexus introduces special 'Winter Warmer' edition RX 350

June 30th 2008 00:15

Lexus RX 350 Winter Warmer special edition

Lexus Australia has unveiled a special edition of its luxury RX 350 SUV this month featuring additional extras worth more than $8,500 including free on-road costs.

Dubbed the 'Winter Warmer', the special edition RX 350 features exclusive 18-inch shadow chrome alloy wheels, three unique exterior colours - Arctic Blue, Burgundy and Onyx carbon - and an accessories pack featuring roof racks, nudge bar, tow bar, headlight covers, rear bumper protector, cargo mat and reverse parking sensors.

Interior-wise, the special edition RX 350 features the full leather treatment (seat and door trim), leather and wood steering wheel, heated power-adjustable driver and front passenger’s seats, dual-zone climate control, cruise control and a raft of safety features including seven airbags, anti-lock brakes and vehicle stability control.

Lexus Australia chief executive John Roca said: “RX 350 SE is a very attractive package for active couples or families, and with the onset of winter RX 350 SE couldn’t arrive at a better time,

“On the financial front, RX 350 SE will offer purchasers additional value in the order of $8500, a significant saving as we head towards the end of the financial year.

“The RX has long been one of Australia’s most popular luxury SUVs - and we expect RX 350 SE with its added extras to be one of our best sellers over the coming months.”

The special edition RX 350 will be offered in a strictly limited supply of 250 examples, with each vehicle featuring unique SE badging and numbered build plates.
