The third-generation 2024 Lexus IS 300 presents an upscale compact luxury sedan with a sharp and sleek design. The standard powertrain uses a 241-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine while there is also a more powerful option — a 3.5-liter V6 delievering 311 horsepower. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission, however, the standard IS 300 is rear-wheel drive, with optional all-wheel drive available. Key safety features include Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, with Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. For tech features, an 8-inch touchscreen is standard but a larger 10.3-inch screen is optional, both with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibilities. One of the notable highlights for this model year is the IS 500 F Sport Performance, which is the first in a line of vehicles from Lexus aiming to connect with driving enthusiasts in a more emotional way, delivering a V8-powered sports sedan.
