The 2019 Lexus IS 300 debuts as a compact luxury sedan that focuses on comfort and performance. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that outputs 241 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, but all-wheel drive (AWD) is an option. Connected to the engine is an eight-speed automatic transmission, although AWD models get an extra gear. The IS 300 is equipped with vital safety features like lane departure warning, forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control. Its infotainment system includes a 7-inch display, smartphone integration, and a 10-speaker audio system. This year's model stands out with increased standard features and a new Black Line Special Edition package.
