The 2016 Lexus IS 300, part of the third-generation IS lineup, is a well-regarded entry-level luxury sedan that positions itself as a strong contender in its segment. It comes equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine delivering 255 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The IS 300 is notably only available with an all-wheel drive drivetrain. It offers two trims, standard and F Sport, each with their own specific set of features. For safety, it includes key features like a rearview camera, automatic high beams, and Lexus’s Safety System+, which adds automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning. Inside, the IS 300 boasts an 8-inch infotainment display, complete with Bluetooth and Siri Eyes Free; however, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are notably lacking. For the 2016 model year, these models saw the introduction of the optional Premium Plus Package and a standard sunroof.
