Lexus too is offering value-added models in UK, starting with the IS sports sedan. The new Lexus IS 250 and 200d Advance models are based on the SE trim level and get a whole bunch of extra equipments for a very small premium over the regular models. The IS SE costs £26,495, the IS 250 Advance £340 more and the IS 200d just £130 more.

Both IS 250 and 200d Advance models come equipped with a hard disc drive (HDD) satellite navigation system, rear parking camera, heated electrically adjustable front seats, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, rain-sensing windscreen wipers and an auto-dimming rear view mirror.

The IS 250 Advance seems to be the best out of the two since it’s more powerful, but the IS 200d offers better economy with 134g/km CO2 emissions and 55.4mpg combined cycle fuel economy.
