Lexus IS 250 named Best Executive Car

The Lexus IS 250 has been named the top Executive Car at the AXA Northern Ireland Car of the Year 2006/2007 awards.

The awards, which are sponsored by AXA Insurance, were presented by members of the Ulster Motoring Writers Association (UMWA) at a prestigious ceremony held in Belfast on 15 March.

Speaking at the ceremony, Chairman of the Ulster Motoring Writers’ Association, Jim McCauley, said: “When Lexus decided to challenge the dominant German brands in the executive sector, they knew from the onset that they could introduce levels of refinement and quality never before experienced in this class. Each model further typifies the excellence of the brand and the IS 250 is a worthy class winner.”
