A facelifted Lexus IS will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September.

Don’t expect major reconstructive surgery, though, just a few tweaks around the front end, with light revisions of the engine line-up expected.

There are no plans for a petrol-electric IS at the moment, despite a hybrid version existing of every other Lexus model, though a folding hard-top convertible is under consideration.

Prices for the facelifted IS are expected to stay close to the existing range of £24,000 to £51,000 for the IS-F.
