Japanese car maker Lexus has announced pricing details for its new IS range ahead of its summer UK debut.

The line-up, unveiled at the North American International Motor Show in Detroit earlier this year, includes the first full-hybrid IS, the IS 300h, together with the 2.5-litre petrol-powered IS 250. Both versions feature rear-wheel drive and will be available with a further evolution of Lexus's F Sport package.

The entry point to the new range will be the SE model, priced from £26,495 for the 2.5-litre IS 250, and £29,495 for the 2.5-litre full hybrid IS 300h.

Standard specification for SE models includes 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, Dual-zone climate control air conditioning, eight airbags, HID headlamps with light sensing function plus DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity.

Luxury-spec models will be priced from £27,995 for the IS 250, while F Sport and the range-topping Premier specification cars will be priced from £30,495 and £35,495 respectively.

Order books are open now, with first UK deliveries expected from mid-July.
