雷克萨斯在上月发布的NX200t上首次搭载了涡轮增压引擎，而IS系列未来也将搭载该引擎，车厂刚刚在美国注册了IS 200t车名。虽然车厂官方并未发布任何消息，但从注册车名这件事看，未来IS系列很可能会搭载2.0升四缸涡轮增压引擎，其最大功率175千瓦/235马力，扭矩349牛米。目前还不清楚该引擎是否会替代IS入门级车型搭载的2.5升V6引擎，其最大功率为152千瓦/204马力，扭矩250牛米，但先前的报道显示，雷克萨斯预计仍会让入门级车型搭载该引擎。

 

Lexus trademarks the IS 200t moniker in the U.S.

Lexus recently introduced their first turbocharged engine on the NX 200t and it looks like the IS will become the next model to use the engine as the company has reportedly trademarked the IS 200t moniker in the United States.

 

While nothing is official, the IS will likely be offered with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 235 bhp (175 kW) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. It remains unclear if the engine will replace the entry-level 2.5-liter V6 - which churns out 204 bhp (152 kW) and 185 lb-ft (250 Nm) of torque - but previous reports have suggested the powerplant could stick around as the base offering.
