Exceptional instrumentation visibility – day and night
You'll be able to read the Optitron instrument panel with exceptional clarity, even in the harshest direct sunlight. It includes a visual display of the roof's open/closed status and displays a warning if the roof isn't completely opened or closed, and also when an object is too close to perform the opening and closing operation.
Boot-loads of room
The Lexus IS 250C is the only vehicle in its class to accommodate a full-size (nine inch) golf bag with the hardtop stowed and the luggage cover in place. With the roof down, it offers 205 litres of storage space, which grows to 553 litres when the roof is up - equivalent to two full-size golf bags and two 77 litre suitcases.
Heated leather-accented front seats
On cool days and when the roof is lowered, heated front seats in the Prestige and Sports models will keep you warm. The Sports Luxury model comes with the all-seasons comfort of heated and ventilated front seats, which also keep you cool in summer. Ten-way power adjusted front seats let you select your optimum seating posture, while the memory function in the Sports Luxury allows you to recall your preferred seat, exterior mirror and steering column positions at the touch of a button.
Advanced Climate Control
The IS 250C features a custom designed air conditioning system, which constantly maintains temperature levels regardless of whether the roof is open or closed. The system features a speed-sensitive 'Open' mode, which monitors and alters the climate when the roof is open. The smog ventilation sensor will automatically change the air intake to 'recirculate' if it detects high levels of air pollution. An easy-to-replace pollen filter also helps keep the air clean and clear.
Satellite navigation and touchscreen control
The prime information resource in the IS 250C is the seven inch LCD touchscreen display, located in the centre console. DVD-based Satellite Navigation1 is included as standard, efficiently guiding you to your destination with voice prompts and points of interest. Whenever reverse gear is engaged, images from the Rear View Camera2 are displayed on the LCD screen, with parking reference lines that overlay the Rear View Camera footage to help guide you safely into place.
Welcome to your open air concert
The Mark Levinson audio system available with the IS 250C Sports Luxury is designed to overcome acoustic weaknesses commonly associated with convertibles. When the top is lowered, the equaliser automatically adjusts to compensate for road and wind noise, especially the bass tones, which are often lost during open air driving.
Premium Mark Levinson audio system
Audio technology specialist Mark Levinson partnered with Lexus to design the audio system in the IS 250C Sports Luxury, which comes with 12 speakers and a six disc CD/DVD changer. Audio controls are conveniently located on the steering wheel, while a USB connector allows you to play audio from selected flash memory drives and iPods®3 using the LCD touchscreen. The Prestige and Sports models include a premium 8 speaker audio system with a six disc CD changer.
