Lexus IS inside

Lexus IS: Inside a Luxury Sports Sedan

While the sporty design and performance may have brought you to the Lexus IS, inside is where it really separates itself. It should be no surprise that the interior of the IS is designed for the most important person in the car, the driver. A 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat along with an available heating and ventilation function provides plenty of comfort, which isn't always available in comparable sports sedans. The 7-inch digital gauge cluster is nearly identical to the gauges in the world-renowned LFA supercar, and the 8-inch or available 10.3-inch smart screen display offers all the modern connectivity you would expect. Optional upgrades include a panoramic view monitor that uses 4 cameras to piece together a bird's-eye view of your surroundings. And for those audiophiles out there, the IS offers an available Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system. In our opinion, if you're looking for a luxury sports sedan as a daily driver, you won't find many better options on the market today.

Lexus IS: Comfort in a Sports Car

How comfortable is the Lexus IS? This is one of the first things to consider when evaluating any vehicle, and our answer is straightforward: it's a Lexus, so comfort is a given. But what specifically contributes to this comfort? We believe it stems from a combination of well-designed adjustable seating, numerous tech amenities, and quality materials. Additionally, Lexus puts a lot of effort into the overall driving experience with features like Active Sound Control, which works to cancel out the sounds you don't like and enhance the ones you want. Below, we outline some key features that contribute to the IS' comfort and which trim levels they come in:

Lexus IS: Body Styles

While the IS is sporty throughout the model lineup, higher trims of the IS have different body style elements. Base models of the IS have 18-inch rims but immediately upgrade to 19 for higher trims. The base trim has chrome throughout the exterior, but higher trims get darker accents for a more dramatic look. F Sport Design and higher trims include black front and rear bumpers, a grille surround, rocker moldings, a rear spoiler, and a rear valance. If you upgrade to the F Sport or higher trims, you will add Dark Chrome-finish window trim and mirrors as well. Finally, performance trims require a raised hood, which adds about 2 inches to the length of the IS and finishes things off with dark metallic 10-spoke Enkei alloy wheels. While not all of these changes are dramatic. It can add up to a fairly different style at the highest trims.

Lexus IS FAQs


+

There isn't a clear answer on which Lexus sedan is better. The Lexus IS and ES differences mainly come from the segment of buyers they would like to attract. The IS a sportier sedan with less interior space but better performance. The ES gets better gas mileage and offers more passenger space. Overall, the ES is a better option for people with long commutes, especially if you need passengers in the rear. The IS is going to provide a more dynamic driving experience with faster acceleration than the entire ES lineup.

+

The IS currently does not offer a hybrid version, with a turbo in-line 4, V6, and V8 being the only engines currently offered by Lexus.

+

With a base IS model 0-60 time of 6.1 secs, the IS would be considered fairly quick. The naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 generating 472 hp and 395 lb.-ft. of torque on the F Sport Performance trims produces a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds, which we would definitely say is fast.

+

The IS does require premium 91-octane gas. Lower-graded gas can cause the IS performance to drop, including worse gas mileage and the potential for engine knocking.
