It represents the perfect fusion of 'Takumi' craftsmanship and the ambition to conquer Europe with a bold and characterful proposal.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel is to discover a world of contrasts. The thrust of its 177 hp and 400 Nm of torque feels powerful and full, pinning you to the seat thanks to its rear-wheel drive. The 6-speed manual gearbox connects you to the machine, while the chassis, with its double-wishbone suspension, offers a sublime balance between cornering agility and a ride comfort that isolates you from the outside world. It's a car that invites you to devour miles with a smile.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure athletic elegance. The sharp lines and aerodynamic silhouette, inspired by the 'L-finesse' philosophy, give it an unmistakable presence that has aged with admirable dignity. Inside, you are embraced by a cabin where every material and every fit whispers quality. It is a sanctuary of luxury and attention to detail, a space designed for the enjoyment of the senses.
Technology and features
For its time, the IS 220d was a technological showcase. Its aluminum diesel engine with common-rail injection was a work of engineering.

An advanced car, designed to make life on board easier and safer.
Competition
Its battlefield was the most competitive in the segment. It fearlessly faced legends like the BMW 3 Series (320d), the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (C 220 CDI), and the Audi A4 (2.0 TDI). Against them, the Lexus IS 220d offered its distinctive design, exceptional manufacturing quality, and the promise of legendary reliability.
