The LEXUS IS (2005-09) 220D 4DR SALOON 2.2 SE-L SUNROOF MULTIMEDIA is a compact executive saloon, offering four-door practicality with a more premium feel than an ordinary family car. In the UK used market, it competes with the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, and suits buyers seeking a distinctive alternative to mainstream saloons. Its 2.2-litre diesel character makes it a sensible choice for regular commuting and longer journeys, while the SE-L trim adds comfort-minded appeal, including a sunroof and multimedia equipment. It can also work for couples or smaller families needing a comfortable daily car, though its saloon boot opening is less handy than a hatchback’s. mycarcheck.com recorded 538 look-ups across 263 different VINs, a useful sample.
