Lexus IS Overview Manufacturer Production 1998–present Body and chassis The Lexus IS (Japanese: レクサス・IS, Rekusasu IS) is a sold by since 1999. The IS was originally sold under the Toyota Altezza nameplate in Japan from 1998 (the word is Italian for 'highness') until the introduction of the Lexus brand and the second-generation Lexus IS design in 2006. The IS was introduced as an entry-level sport model positioned below the in the Lexus lineup. The Altezza name is still used at times to refer to car like those fitted to the first-generation model, known as 'Altezza lights'.

The first-generation Altezza (codename XE10) was launched in Japan in October 1998, while the Lexus IS 200 (GXE10) made its debut in Europe in 1999 and in North America as the IS 300 (JCE10) in 2000. The first-generation, -powered IS featured sedan and wagon variants. The second-generation IS (codename ) was launched globally in 2005 with -powered IS 250 (GSE20) and IS 350 (GSE21) sedan models, followed by a high-performance sedan version, the, in 2007, and hardtop versions, the and, in 2008. The third-generation Lexus IS premiered in January 2013 and includes the V6-powered IS 350 and IS 250, IS 300h and performance-tuned variants. The IS designation stands for Intelligent Sport.

1999–2005 Lexus IS 200 sedan (GXE10; Australia) The design received critical acclaim at its 1998 launch and was awarded Japan's ' ' honor for 1998–1999. A few months later, Lexus began marketing the IS 200 equivalent models in Europe. The IS 200 in Europe was listed as producing 153 brake horsepower (114 kW), with a top speed of 216 kilometres per hour (134 mph), and 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0–62 mph) acceleration in 9.3 seconds.

The styling cues of the rear light clusters on the first-generation models were copied by a number of after-market accessory manufacturers for applications on other vehicles. This iconic style of one or more internal lamp units, covered with a clear (or tinted) perspex cover made popular by Lexus, became known in many circles as 'Lexus-style' or '. The taillight style became so popular, that it influenced the development of clear-glass taillights. The XE10's chief engineer was Nobuaki Katayama, while the chief test driver and test engineer was Hiromu Naruse. 2000–2003 In July 2000, a hatchback/station wagon model, the AS300 (Chassis code JCE10), was introduced featuring a 3.0-liter 2JZ-GE inline-six engine. Equipped with rear- or all-wheel drive (JCE10, RWD Gita wagon; JCE15, 4WD Gita wagon), the AS300 was only available with an automatic gearbox; a five-speed automatic for the RWD Gita wagon and a four-speed automatic for the 4WD Gita wagon. The six-cylinder version ( 2JZ-GE) was only available in Japan on the Gita models.

In the US, the IS 300 sedan debuted in 2000 as 2001 model and the wagon debuted in 2001 as a 2002 model with the same 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (the 2.0-liter six-cylinder was not available), while in Europe, the IS 300 joined the IS 200 in the model lineup. All IS 300 models in the US were initially only available with the five-speed automatic transmission; this was also the case in Europe. However, a five-speed manual was made available in the US in 2001 for the 2002 model year (not available on the SportCross wagon). Visually the exterior of the European IS 200 Sport and 300 were almost identical, the only differences being the boot insignia and the larger-engined model initially having clear front indicators (later generalized to IS 200 range). Interior The first-generation IS interior featured unique elements not typically found in other Lexus models. These included a chrome metal ball shifter, pop-up navigation screen, and -style instrument panel (with mini gauges for temperature, fuel economy, and volts). For the European market, the IS 300 gained full leather seats rather than the leather/escaine of the 200, plus Auto-dimming rear view and side mirrors, and HID headlamps.

In the US, the listed the IS 300 as a; although it technically had enough overall volume to be called a compact, rear seat room exhibited subcompact dimensions. The US (NHTSA) crash test results in 2001 gave the IS 300 the maximum five stars in the Side Driver and Side Rear Passenger categories, and four stars in the Frontal Driver and Frontal Passenger categories. The (IIHS) rated the IS 'Good' overall for frontal collisions and 'Good' in all six measured front impact categories. For the first-generation IS in the US market, sales hit a high of 22,486 units in 2001; subsequent sales years were less than forecast, and below the 10,000-unit mark in 2004. The IS 200 fared better relative to sales targets in Europe and Asia, while still well short of the sales volume achieved by the and other, mostly German-made competitors.

This trend was indicative of Lexus' smaller global status; while Lexus' range of cars was very successful in North America, the marque's sales lagged behind its German rivals in Europe. In Europe, the lack of a manual gearbox option for the IS 300 may have limited sales in contrast to its rivals, the and the Mercedes C-Class.

In 2000, TTE had released a compressor kit for the IS 200 on the European market. An Eaton supercharger at 0.3-bar pressure boosted the power to 153 kilowatts (205 hp) without sacrificing fuel consumption (+3.3%). The kit was initially available as an aftermarket fitment, but could also be obtained as OEM Lexus accessory on new cars through the official Lexus dealer network and was fully covered by the standard warranty. This model variant was discontinued when the IS 300 was released on the European market. 2003–2005. Toyota Altezza Gita AS300 (JCE10, Japan) In 2003 for the 2004 model year, the IS line received a minor facelift (designed by Hiroyuki Tada). On the exterior, was a new 11-spoke wheel design, new fog lights, and smoked surrounding trim for the headlights and taillights.

On the interior, a new 2-position memory function was added for the driver seat, a maintenance indicator light, automatic drive-away door locking system, a new storage compartment on the dash (for models without the navigation system) and new trim highlights. An official concept model, the -built Lexus IS 430 was unveiled at the Show in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2003. The IS 430 prototype was an IS 300 fitted with a 4.3-liter V8 from the.

Lexus dubbed the IS 430 a one-off with no plans for production. In Europe, (TTE) shoehorned a 4.3-liter V8 into an IS 300 bodyshell, the result was a 405 PS (298 kW).
