Lexus Achieves 500,000 Cumulative Domestic Sales
The "Black Sequence" special edition was created to commemorate Lexus's achievement of 500,000 cumulative domestic sales. This model emphasizes a formidable presence through exclusive black exterior features.
Specifically, all models except the CT feature black side mirrors. Furthermore, exclusive interior colors were applied to all models except the LX.
The GS, based on the hybrid, 3.5-liter, and 2.0-liter turbo engine "I Package" models, features a black spindle grille and two-tone leather seats in Saddle Tan and Topaz Brown.
The IS, based on the hybrid, 3.5-liter, and 2.0-liter turbo engine "F SPORT" models, features black-painted aluminum wheels. The steering wheel is finished with a genuine wood trim, crafted in the traditional ink-making region of Nara, with a deep black hue, meticulously shaped by skilled artisans for optimal operability and feel.
The CT is based on the "Version C" grade. Three exclusive body colors are available, and the interior offers a combination of black seats and door trim with blue, dark rose, or white accents. Additionally, suspension tuned exclusively for the CT, similar to the "F SPORT" models, has been adopted for a sportier driving experience.
