LEXUS will complete its UK line-up when the range-topping SC 430 Coupe, IS 300 SportCross and IS 300 arrive later this year. The IS 300 will be launched in the summer in automatic form only, the IS 300 SportCross, which made its world debut in Detroit, will go on sale in September in automatic form only, while the SC 430 Coupe will cost £50,000-£60,000.

The arrivals will take the Lexus line-up in the UK from three models a year ago to eight: SC430 Coupe, LS 430, GS 430, GS 300, IS 300, IS 300 SportCRoss, IS 200 and the RX300 4x4. The IS 200 has been the best-selling Lexus in the UK since its launch and the range will be extended with the addition of a 3.0-litre variant.
