This third generation Lexus IS was much improved by its facelift in 2017 and, like the earlier version of this MK3 model, was tasked with a simple mission: to be a car that customers would enjoy owning more than a Mercedes C Class, an Audi A4 or a BMW 3 series, the three leading choices in the compact-to-mid-sized executive saloon segment. The objective then, was straightforward - but achieving it proved to be anything but, as other brands who've simply tried to copy the winning Teutonic formula have found to their cost. Lexus used to be one of these, but with this MK3 model IS, they were at least a bit cleverer, primarily through the offering of petrol/electric hybrid power rather than the kind of 2.0-litre diesel engine business buyers were used to in this period. It was a refreshing approach for people in search of something just that little bit different. And still is.
