The bold look of the IS exterior gives it a distinctive sporty style. New for 2009, the front bumper, grille, lower body paneling and taillamps have been enhanced. Turn signals have also been integrated into the side-view mirrors. These new enhancements contribute to a profile that is not only visually arresting, but incredibly aerodynamic.

Highlights
By recognizing the unique secure code transmitted from your key fob, the SmartAccess system allows you to unlock and open your vehicle's door and trunk without having to remove your key from your pocket or purse. The system also activates an entry lighting system that illuminates your path of entry, from the door handle to the ignition button .

Backing out of tight spaces is much easier with the available backup camera. Offered only with the available voice-activated DVD Navigation System, this system uses a tiny camera located above the rear license plate to help show what's behind the vehicle. Place the IS in reverse, and the camera's view is displayed in full color on the seven-inch LCD screen.

Performance
The IS 250 is swiftly propelled by a 2.5-liter V6, providing 204 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. By injecting gasoline directly into the combustion chamber, the direct injection system results in a more effective mixture of air and fuel. Not only does this boost overall power, but with the extraPark Place Lexus Mission Viejo control over the air/fuel ratio, mileage is also significantly improved.

Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) optimizes both the intake and exhaust valve timing throughout the rpm range, according to engine and driving conditions. The system continuously monitors the engine's speed and load to respond to the driver's demands. This helps provide improved fuel efficiency, lower exhaust emissions and optimum power across all driving ranges. Torque is increased at lower speeds for better thrust. And power is boosted at higher speeds for better acceleration.

Safety
With your safety in mind, the IS interior is filled with an array of airbags to help protect you and your passengers during different types of collisions. There are driver's and front passenger's knee airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and front and rear side curtain airbags. The driver's and front passenger's system utilizes dual-stage airbags that are designed to inflate at two different speeds depending on the severity of impact. The driver's airbag system takes into account the distance between the steering wheel and the front seat in determining the speed of deployment. The IS also comes equipped with a new twin-chamber airbag for the front passenger. Unlike a single-chamber airbag, the SRS twin-chamber airbag deploys with a slight depression in its center. This is designed to help disperse the forces applied to the passenger immediately after deployment.
