New Lexus IS to star in Geneva

Lexus' stand in Geneva will focus on its all-new IS saloon.

Lexus has revealed more details of what we can expect to see from the manufacturer at the upcoming 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

One of the key events from Lexus is the European debut of the full-hybrid IS 300h. Refreshed styling features on the new model; carrying the shapes found on Lexus' signature spindle grille throughout the rest of the bodywork. The new styling is said to give the IS a greater and more distinctive road presence than the outgoing model.

Also on display will be the IS 300h F Sport. This model will come with sportier styling tweaks inside and out, as well as a sportier chassis setup. The IS 300h is one of many hybrid F Sport models set to be showcased in Geneva.

As well as production cars, Lexus is also planning to rock up to the show with an Opal Blue version of its LF-LC 2+2 hybrid sports coupé concept. The striking looking concept is designed to show off Lexus' new sporty design language and driver-focused interior. Lexus claims that the LF-LC's styling is not just cosmetic either - in that it has functioning aerodynamic properties.

The 83rd Geneva Motor Show opens to the public on the 7th March and runs until the 17th March. Lexus' press conference will take place on Tuesday 5th March at 12:45pm.
