Boasting an electric power steering system and unitized steel body/frame structure, the IS C is optimized for aerodynamic driving. Its durable and stylish exterior has flashy dual polished stainless steel exhaust pipes, along with projector bulb headlamps and one-piece, color-keyed Super Olefin Polymer front and rear bumpers. The IS C is also equipped with ultraviolet and infrared ray reducing glass on all windows to keep you cool and collected all the way to your destination.
With enough space for four guests, the IS C comes with a dust/pollen interior filter for easy breathing, along with Bluetooth wireless phone technology for hands-free phone calls. Lexus's 194-watt premium audio system with a six-disc in-dash CD changer is onboard to help you provide the perfect soundtrack to any drive. The IS C also utilizes futuristic Optitron gauges and has comfortable power tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel.
The IS C is exemplary of Lexus's commitment to safety, with its energy-managing crumple zones, three-point seatbelts for all seating positions, and door side impact beams. It also comes with a driver and front passenger airbag supplemental restraint system.
