Lexus IS 2020 350 Platinum

While the BMW 3 Series 2020 has a starting price of AED 202,000 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2020 is priced at AED 165,000, the Lexus IS 2020 350 Platinum stands at AED 210,000 including VAT. One of 11 available trim levels, the 350-PLATINUM comes equipped with features such as ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), Advanced Air Bags System (AABS), 8 Airbags, Anti-theft alarm, Central Locking, Electric Sunroof, Foldable Rear Seats, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
This Japanese Sedan houses a powerful 3.5-litre V6 Petrol engine, producing 312 horsepower and 375 Nm of torque, making it a formidable competitor in its class. In comparison, the BMW 3 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class feature 2.0-litre engines, which may not deliver the same level of performance as the IS 350 Platinum.
For the United Arab Emirates market, the average price of the IS across all versions is AED 182,222. Considering annual depreciation of 15%, we anticipate the 350-Platinum will be valued at AED 178,500 in the used car market by next year.
With a 66-litre fuel tank and a fuel consumption of 9 litres per 100 kilometers, filling up the 350-Platinum will cost approximately AED 118.8, based on the current fuel price of AED 1.8 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. For an average commute of 25,000 kilometers per year, expect around 7 fill-ups, totaling AED 7,841.
The Lexus IS has garnered a reputation for its reliability, luxurious features, and superior handling, making it a popular choice among premium sedan enthusiasts in the UAE. Moreover, its advanced safety features and high-quality interior make it a compelling option for families and professionals alike. The 350 Platinum trim offers an exceptional blend of comfort and performance, appealing to those who seek a dynamic driving experience without compromising on luxury.
