LEXUS has extended its IS compact saloon line-up with a new IS 300h Executive Edition.

The newcomer adds leather upholstery and Lexus Navigation system to the existing Luxury grade model.

And with an on-the-road price of £29,995 it represents £3,390 of extra value to the customer.

The spec takes in front and rear parking sensors, 17-inch alloy wheels, dusk-sensing HID headlights, cruise control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, dual-zone climate control and rain-sensing wipers.

Beneath the bonnet is the Lexus Hybrid Drive system returning official fuel consumption and CO2  emissions figures of 64.2mpg and 103g/km respectively, while acceleration is from 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds.
