The 2013 Lexus IS 250 is a part of the second generation of the IS lineup. This luxury sedan runs on a 2.5-liter V6 engine producing 204 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive as standard and the option for all-wheel drive. The IS 250 is available in base and C trims, where 'C' stands for Convertible. Both versions are equipped with key safety features such as traction and stability control, antilock brakes, front-seat side airbags, full-length curtain-type airbags, and safety-connect telematics. On the infotainment front, a touchscreen interface is absent, but it does offer satellite radio and a USB audio jack as standard. The 2013 model did not see any major updates compared to its predecessor.
