(AUTOMOBILES) 2014 LEXUS IS 350 AND NEW SAFETY FEATURES

With Lexus having already released images of its new 2014 IS range, and international media having already driven it, there’s not much else to reveal now that the car’s official public debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show has taken place.
The new Lexus 2014 IS 250, IS 350 and F-Sport have countless new safety features but the 3 that stood out the most are as followed.

First of all it has a Lane Departure Alert alerting you whenever you begin to drift out of the center of the lane your in. Second is the Blind Spot Monitor, it detects when a car is in your blind spot and your side mirrors will light up. Lastly it has Lexus’s Pre-Collision System which detects both the distance and speed of the cars in front of you and in the even that it thinks your about to crash front-on it flips on the brake assist and get this it tightens your seatbelt too.

We can confirm that the latest IS will once again be offered in IS 250 and IS 350 trims in the U.S., while international markets will also receive a new IS 300h hybrid model.

The IS 250 and IS 350 will be offered with rear-wheel drive as standard, though customers will be able to opt for all-wheel drive should they desire.
