Because the Lexus Europe market encompasses several countries, not all all options or packages will be available in certain countries. Lexus Europe will only offer the IS 250 and IS 300h due to strict emissions standards in their region. There are a total of 6 option packages and one being exclusive to the new IS 300h:
- ECO (IS 300h only)
- EXECUTIVE
- EXECUTIVE PLUS
- F SPORT
- LUXURY

Being that the new third generation is the most global Lexus IS ever, it also carries a long list of options. We’re a bit disappointed with how the options and colors are distributed, but we hope changes can be made so that all options and features are available globally.
