Lexus is giving buyers of 2019 IS 300 F SPORT a new way to express their style with the introduction of the Black Line Special Edition. Limited to 900 units for 2019, the new IS 300 Black Line brings together unique features and subtle styling changes that add a custom touch to this dynamic sports sedan.
Available on both the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive IS 300 F SPORT models, the Black Line Special Edition has several exterior features that set it apart from the standard IS 300. Most notable are the 18-inch, split-spoke wheels with a “black vapour chrome” finish, a technology shared with the wheels on the flagship LS sedan. To complement the darker wheels, the Black Line Special Edition also comes equipped with black side mirrors regardless of body colour. There are three exterior colour options to choose from Ultra White, Obsidian and Atomic Silver.
To give the interior the mark of a true Special Edition, all Black Line models come with black Nuluxe seats with red accents on the side bolsters and seat cushions. There are additional red accent panels on each side of the centre stack along with contrasting red stitching on the seats, centre console and armrests. Also included is a heated, black wood-trimmed steering wheel that features distinctive shades of black that were created by a Japanese calligraphy shop dedicated to perfecting ink for more than 200 years. All Black Line models come equipped with Navigation and triple beam LED headlamps.
Rear-wheel drive versions of the IS 300 Black Line Special Edition are powered by a 2.0-litre, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine that sends up to 241-horsepower through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel-drive version of the Black Line Special Edition uses a 3.5-litre V6 with 260-hp and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Production of 2019 IS 300 Black Line Special Edition started in early February, so dealers will have examples in showrooms starting in March.
