The 2012 Lexus IS 250 is part of the vehicle's second generation. This luxury compact car boasts a stylish interior, smooth ride, and intuitive technology. It is powered by a 2.5-liter V6 engine that produces 204 horsepower. This engine mates with a 6-speed automatic transmission, with rear-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive as an option. The IS 250 is available in two trims: Base and F Sport. Both versions feature a decent list of standard amenities including keyless ignition and entry, a sunroof, leather upholstery, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The infotainment system is highlighted by a powerful 13-speaker audio system with a 6-CD changer, satellite radio, and an auxiliary audio jack. Safety features incorporate advanced front airbags, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, and Safety Connect emergency telematics. The 2012 Lexus IS 250 did not receive a significant model-year upgrade, given its existing luxury and performance standards.
