A sporty luxury car with plenty of style
If you're looking for a luxury car that doesn't compromise on style, the 2014 IS 250 is it. Whether you're picking up friends for a weekend hike or you're all dressed up for date night, the IS 250 will look great getting you there. Choose the sedan for a five-seat stunner with plenty of room for the entire pickleball gang, or opt for the two-door, four-passenger convertible trim to get some fresh air when the game is over. With standard 17-inch wheels and a sleek profile, you'll ride in style no matter where you go with the 2014 IS 250.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Lexus IS 250
1. Drive confidently
The IS 250 uses a 2.5L engine to generate 204 horsepower and send it to the rear wheels. But if you need extra traction in challenging weather conditions, you can shop an IS 250 with available all-wheel drive. Not only will it have more confidence on the road, but the AWD trim also adds heated front seats for those cold morning commutes.
2. Luxury ride
The IS 250's long wheelbase gives you a comfortable ride you'll appreciate every time you get into the cabin. The standard leatherette seats welcome each passenger, and available leather seats take the luxury to another level. A standard dual-zone climate control system keeps you comfortable in any weather. Shop for the F Sport package for sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels that stand out from the crowd.
3. Get some fresh air
You'll get a great look at the world around you with the IS 250's standard sunroof on sedan models. But if you want to let your hair down, shop for the two-door convertible trim. You'll sacrifice a little trunk space, but you'll get an all-weather hard-top convertible that will make summer trips to the beach unforgettable.
4. Features the way you want
The IS 250 offers plenty of standard goodies, like keyless entry, heated mirrors, and eight-way power front seats.
5. It comes connected
Connect to the IS 250 with a standard USB connection and Bluetooth® integration to pump on the jams through your device. Or turn on the available satellite radio through the eight-speaker sound system and view it all on the seven-inch infotainment display.
