2002 Lexus IS 300
Designed with sporty flair, innovative lines, and spectacular performance,
this high-class 2002 Lexus IS 300 Sedan takes to the roads for another
year with several new twists to keep the competition on their toes and
perhaps green with envy.
Available Models
New for 2002 are two exciting models that will get your groove
going - the IS 300 SportCross and the IS 300 Five-Speed Manual model.
Rounding off the line up for this year is the IS 300 E-Shift Sport sedan
that hit the market last season.
Interior Features
The luxurious Lexus IS 300 features an optional DVD-based navigation
system and standards in the SportCross include a rear liftgate, split
folding rear seat for additional cargo space, and a fold-down passenger
seatback to really maximize storage space when you need it. The SportCross
also lists a tonneau cover, luggage box, cargo area false floor, and a
folding passenger seat with seatback table and rear power outlet.
All Lexus IS 300 sedans sport an auto-dimming rearview mirror, cruise
control, front and rear dual cupholders, automatic climate control with
air filter, premium AM/FM stereo with cassette player and six-CD player,
outside temperature gauge and tilt steering wheel. New for 2002 are items
such as electrochromic rearview mirror with compass, front center armrest,
genuine leather upholstery, and optional chrome gearshift lever with leather
knob. Other standards include drilled aluminum pedals and stainless steel
doorsill scuff plates with rubber pads, green tinted glass, power door
locks, and power windows.
Exterior Features
The signature Lexus IS 300 Sedan's lines are crisp, sharp,
and tight, with traditional Lexus trademarks like the front grille and
headlight detailing. New for 2002, the grille has three horizontal bars,
and the tail light housings are smoked gray on dark colors and chrome
on light colors. A rear spoiler has been added as an option (standard
on the SportCross). Other exterior details include seventeen-inch aluminum
alloy wheels, auto-dimming driver's side mirror, halogen fog lights, and
a rear wiper on the SportCross.
Performance
Truly outstanding when it comes to performance, the Lexus IS
300 Sedan packs a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engine with variable valve timing,
cranking out 215 horsepower and 218 lb-ft of torque. The standard transmission
of both the IS 300 Sport Cross and the IS 300 E-shift is automatic, while
the Five-speed Manual model sports just that - an exciting five-speed
manual transmission geared at the fun-loving younger crowd and other adventurers.
Safety and Security
Safety features have been upgraded this year, including standards
like brake assist and front side curtain air bags. Vehicle skid control
is available as an option on the SportCross and automatic model, and you
may add traction control to that option as well. Other basics listed are
a passenger depowered air bag, driver depowered air bag, head restraints,
three-point seatbelts, child safety locks, and child seat tethers and
anchors. The body is reinforced and features side impact door beams, and
both front and rear crumple zones.
