What is lexus alteza?

The Lexus Altezza is a compact executive car produced by Toyota's luxury brand, Lexus. It was introduced in 1998 as a rear-wheel drive entry-level luxury car, available in sedan and wagon body styles. The Altezza was primarily marketed in Japan, but was also sold in various other countries under different brand names, including the Lexus IS, Toyota Altezza, and Toyota Lexus.

The Altezza was known for its sharp, sporty styling and high-performance capabilities. It was equipped with either a 2.0-liter or 3.0-liter inline-six engine, with output ranging from 160 to 220 horsepower. Some models also came with a 5-speed manual transmission option, which added to the car's sporty image.

Over the years, the Altezza underwent several updates and redesigns, with the most significant being the introduction of the second-generation IS in 2005, which replaced the Altezza in most markets. Today, the Lexus IS is still being produced and sold globally, with a focus on luxury and performance that is synonymous with the brand.
