Lexus is set to discontinue sales of the IS sedan, RC coupe and CT hatch in Australia from November, after recent Australian Design Rules regulations come into effect, which these models do not meet.
At this point the news comes from a number of Australian media outlets, but Lexus is yet to make an official announcement. According to a
CarExpert report, the IS, RC and RC F, and CT are being axed from the local lineup from November. It says final orders on these models were taken on June 30.
The move looks to be the result of changing Australian Design Rules (ADR) requirements for side impact collisions for all new cars sold here in Australia. Meeting those new requirements would necessitate a significant degree of revisions to the platforms of these model lines, effectively forcing Lexus Australia to discontinue sales altogether.
