The IS sedan is the lightweight and affordable sports entry in the Lexus lineup, focused on drawing performance-oriented customers to the brand without breaking the bank. Compared to other comfy and luxury Lexus vehicles like the ES and the RX, practicality has been traded for nimbleness and a low, sleek profile.
Power is presented through the 2.0-liter turbo-charged inline-four engine, with Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide (VVT-iW) on intake valves, and eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
