ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE
Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 (LSS+ 2.5) comes standard on the Lexus IS and includes advanced driver assistance like All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), and Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Emergency Steering Assist and Intersection Turning Assist. While the Acura TLX offers many similar safety features, the TLX does not offer Emergency Steering Assist or Intersection Turning Assist. The IS also has 2 additional airbags compared to the TLX.
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
The Lexus IS offers the confidence of standard Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) that audibly alerts the driver to vehicles crossing at the rear, which is a big help in crowded parking lots. The IS also has an available Rear Cross-Traffic Braking and Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking, increasing the safety of both the vehicle and its occupants. The Acura TLX offers Rear Cross-Traffic Alert as standard but only in the form of an audible alert.
