Lexus has posted its first picture of the 2021 Lexus IS sedan which is due for release next week and will be the fourth generation of its shape.

The Lexus won’t be offered in Europe or the UK. There is no word on whether it will be sold in New Zealand. Sales of the Lexus IS has fallen generation by generation, with SUV Lexus sales booming.

It is expected the Lexus will use partial hybrid engines in launch models, although this will be confirmed next week.
