The 2025 Lexus IS 300, part of the fourth generation of the model, stays true to the luxury sport sedan genre, providing sturdy performance and a plush package all in one. There are two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 241 horsepower, and a stronger 3.5-liter V6 that dishes out 260 horsepower. Both work with an 8-speed automatic transmission delivering power to the rear wheels, while all-wheel drive is available on the V6 models. Available trims include IS 300 RWD, IS 300 AWD, and F Sport variations for both engines. Lexus doesn't compromise on safety, offering a suite of safety features under the Lexus Safety System+. These include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition. Infotainment features a 10.3-inch screen with connected services, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. For 2025, the model keeps its classic luxury feel but accompanies it with noticeable improvements in ride quality, handling, and an updated, more intuitive infotainment system.
