STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />

STRONG<br />

CONTENDER<br />

From its dominant Lexus spindle grille to its driver-focused cockpit, the Lexus IS 300h stands out<br />

among the luxury saloon crowd. And its appeal is more than skin deep. A stronger body delivers<br />

greater control and handling precision, while the 223 bhp Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain offers<br />

exhilarating performance. Yet the IS 300h emits just 99 g/km CO2, so company car drivers pay<br />

just 11% BIK and no road tax. Beauty, strength and intelligence – it’s a formidable combination.<br />
