The 2017 Lexus IS had its European debut last week at the Paris Motor Show, and that means new photos of the revised sports sedan:
Lexus also detailed some previously unmentioned changes made to the driving dynamics:
- The lower arm assembly in the front suspension is now forged in aluminium, bringing a 49% increase in rigidity over the previous model’s steel arm. The front suspension system further benefits from a new upper support bush, a change to the coil spring rate, new shock absorber components and a revised damper setting.
- The rear multi-link suspension features a new upper arm bushing and a new stabilizer bar, new shock absorber components and a revised damper setting.
- The ECU settings of the Electric Power Steering system (EPS) have also been revised.
