Updated Lexus IS to Debut at Beijing Auto Show Next Week

Kevin April 18th, 2016

Lexus will introduce the updated IS sedan at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition 2016 on April 25th — from the Lexus International info page:

Lexus will unveil its redesigned midsize luxury sport sedan, the Lexus IS, at 2016 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition.

Since its inception, Lexus IS was designed for those in relentless pursuit of driving pleasure. After three generations, the Lexus IS has successfully captured the hearts of young customers all over the world. The upcoming new model will bring exciting breakthroughs based on the Lexus signature L-finesse design philosophy. The bold evolution of design with greatly enhanced visual impact will absolutely ignite people’s desire to put their hands on the steering wheel.

There’s not much to go on from the image, though the triple-L headlights are an obvious new addition — let’s zoom up for a closer look:
