Heja, To zależy czego oczekujesz. Ja całe życie jeździłem volvami. Był też T5R z pożądanym kopem i to było czuć ale nie za sprawą mocy tylko dźwięku. T5R miał około 7s do setki przy 240KM. IS ma 8 do setki przy 225KM. Wiesz czemu według Ciebie jedzie jak by miał 150? Ponieważ jeż cisza a skrzynia e-CTV ( nie mylić z CTV bo to tylko w nazwie podobne, technologiczne to dwa różne urządzenia ) nie generuje szarpnięć między biegami i też cicho pracuje. Przyspieszenie IS widać spod świateł szczególnie kiedy jednostki spalinowa i elektryczna pracują w trybie Sport lub Sport+. Mało kto wówczas daje radę. Ale nie o to chodzi a to, że gdyby ryczał to "wmawiając sobie czuł byś" że z butów wyrywa. Pomijam już fakt, że zużywa to Pb tyle co klekot. Jeśli chodzi o wielkość to też zależy co ci potrzeba, bo dla mnie jest idealny. Tak jak mówiłem, miałem po kolei 6 sztuk Volvo, też jedno XC70 ale priorytety mi się zmieniły i już nie potrzebuję wielgachnych kombiaków. IS przy moim wzroście 173 cm i 74 kg jest jak skrojony na moją miarę, a za sprawą foteli i pozycji za kierownicą jestem samochodem a nie siedzę w samochodzie - jeśli rozumiesz o co mi chodzi. Przed kupnem IS robiłem jazdę próbną nowym s90 i generalnie prawie się zdecydowałem. Jednak po testach IS-em zadzwoniłem do Volvo i odmówiłem. W IS zakochałem się od pierwszych kilometrów a był to 2017 rok i do tej pory nie żałuję wyboru. Wciąż gdy jadę japa mi się cieszy. Tak że nie wiem czy moja opinia jako zakochańca jest Ci pomocna 😊 👊

Was fuel consumption tested on long distance? On short it's possible to get nice numbers, but then in reality, you have to change speed sometimes, you cross some cities, and it gets not so ideal.
Yes this is true, this is only cruising on highway fuel consumption test. For example for long road trip you want drive all way 120 kmh so that's about the fuel consumption numbers. Of course its not exact number it depends of traffic, weather, area with lots hills etc. Same at city or average fuel consumption test from other Magazin, auto tester or from manufacturers official paper. Because every city is different, some city has less traffic lights, some more, some has less traffic, some with many traffic, etc.
Hi nice video, how much you are getting in the city driving, mine is 2013 getting around 14km/l very bad i guess. However on the motorway i am getting around 20km/l
Shame Lexus never made this model in station wagon form, too! Really would have been buying it and never looked back to the german rivals (reliability speaking). Does this car have the back seats collapseable to expand the boot space? Thank you
IS is actually the only sedan from Lexus where you can fold down the rear seats. ES, GS or LS do not have that option in either version, petrol or hybrid.
@@mehdigillig9206 I'm thinking since cars like the A6/E-Class/5er 3.0 petrol/diesel are in LDAR and the plug-in hybrid equivalents are in LDAH, I'm wondering since this is a regular hybrid and not a plug-in hybrid, whether it's in FDAR.
@@alexlovesmac At Europcar they don’t have a category For simple hybrids or plug-in hybrids it seems to me, they group everything in a category. For example recently they have introduced the Audi A6 Break 55 TFSIe and it is in the LWAR category as a simple A6 50TDI OR 45 TDI. it is the same principle for the Lexus UX which is in the category GLA, X1 or similar
@@mehdigillig9206 Ah ok. I know Sixt has special categories for their plug-in hybrids, but personally I've never rented one as I prefer diesels and if possible, a manual transmission.
Superb test, albeit I’m not believing in those consumption figures. Dead sure that on the longer distance they will go up + typical Toyota will fool 7-10% between figures on the dash and what you have to fill. Nice ride anyway, just grab f-sport😏

For comparison you have to increase the Diesel consumption numbers (volume per distance) by about 16,5 %. A gas engine with the exact same efficiency as a diesel engine always needs a higher volume of fuel. If the gas engine gets the same consumption figures as the diesel engine, the gas engine is about 14% more efficient than the diesel. The better way of comparison is by mass per distance.

Wow you can drive 1000km at 140kph. That's outstanding
This model got so unpopular in Europe that it got discontinued here, sadly.
They still sell it in the UK tho
@@vladriabokon6642 No they don't. The ES has replaced in the IS in Europe.
bc EU is a fascist regime, no free market

Rear wheel drive… that was a surprise!
Awesome review. I would love to meet, as I'm coming from HH as well.mine is Is300h 2015. Absolutely adore this car ❤️
In the USA we don’t get the power folding mirrors which is so shady for a 40k plus car

Any idea what Europcar category this is under? Is it the same as C-Class or is it in a special hybrid category?
I think you’re right it must be in the category Class C or similar , Acriss Code FDAR

Great review and car.Can you tell me how many kilometres this car can do only whit electric battery?
Some dialog would be good!. How does it feel?. Is it quiet is the ride and handling good. Did you like it??????
Why is that?. Europeans don’t like hybrid cars?. Or just Lexus
whats different between this and the 2019, 2018 and 2016
2017?
Could you please test Lexus RC as well?
We have lexus rc video in our channel
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK And can you test the facelfit 300h?
7.8 L¿¿¿ wtF??? 4.9-5.1 is what i get in sport mode but driving slowly.
Is that the original screen? Looks like a after market
Its original
Why didn't you put on the 6th gear while on Sport mode?
CVT gearbox

The body is almost same as bmw 3series
Which one? The latest one? So you found an answer who copied who. Basically this Lexus was design , nearly 10 years ago...
225 40 18 wheels ? damn those are smol for midrange class. I thought my 225 45 18 on my BMW were smol.
you call lexus midrange class? I don't know if you realize but over 18" driving is not very comfortable. I have 235/40/19" myself and I regret it.

Compare it with Equal model.
Not diesel with Gasoline..
