They build on the original philosophy behind the range which was created by Lexus engineer Mr Nobuaki Katayama, the Chief Engineer of the IS project.
The IS300 SportCross demonstrates Lexus' continued ability to create a new concept in luxury and performance car design. It introduces radical different styling, to combine the dynamic performance and handling of the is300 saloon with five-door versatility and practicality. While sharing the powertrain and front-end architecture of the is300 saloon, the SportCross pays careful attention to structural rigidity and weight distribution, including the use of an aluminium tailgate, to ensure that it handles as well as the best sports saloons. Clever detailing enhances the exciting styling and the distinctive, nimble, Crossover silhouette. Clever interior design ensures that while having a rear profile similar to a sleek coupé, the is300 SportCross can accommodate over 280 litres of luggage under its parcel cover with rear seats upright. A further 96 litres of space is available in additional storage boxes, while with seats folded items over 2.6 m long can be carried.
