In developing its new IS range, Lexus has pushed forward the boundaries of quality and performance in all areas. The drive to set new high standards extends to the creation of a premium audio and DVD surround sound system, unparalleled in the class.

The result is an exceptional 14-speaker, 300-watt package that fully exploits the excellent acoustic qualities of IS’s cabin and delivers the segment’s first complete, discrete 5.1 home theatre entertainment experience.
