The 2025 Lexus IS is an incredible premium sedan with world-class design and engineering. This popular sedan is a perfect town car for workday commuting and also provides sport-tuned performance for your next weekend getaway. Check out the top reasons drivers love the Lexus IS today.
1. High-Powered Performance
The IS 300 kickstarts the lineup with a turbocharged 2.0-liter I4 engine that generates 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged engine can go from zero to 60 MPH in 6.9 seconds and reach a top track speed of 143 MPH. An eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive is standard for this powertrain.
Other IS models have engines with even greater performance specs, such as the 3.5-liter V6 motor on the IS 300 AWD, which allows the sedan to hit 60 MPH in 6.1 seconds. The 350 F SPORT models have a 3.5-liter V6 engine that provides 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, while the 500 F SPORT PERFORMANCE models have a 5.0-liter V8 motor with an output of 472 horsepower.
2. Exceptional Stability
This athletic sedan offers exceptional on-road stability with features like electronic power steering, traction control, and an anti-lock braking system. The anti-lock brakes increase brake power on wheels with excessive wheel spin when the sedan travels on slippery roads to ensure the vehicle stays on track. Electronic power steering ensures smooth and easy handling to improve your driving experience.
3. Intelligent Safety Systems
The Lexus IS is equipped with advanced driver assistance software via the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5. Lane Tracing Assist keeps the IS centered in your traffic lane by monitoring lane markers, while Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist activates a warning when the sedan departs from your current traffic lane. To keep the vehicle centered, this system will provide assistive steering support.
The IS is also equipped with a Pre-Collision System with integrated software to detect pedestrians: a safety system that is ideal for navigating urban and suburban driving environments. This system reduces the likelihood of a crash by identifying pedestrians and other vehicles, and can mitigate the severity of a crash by reducing the crash speed with the automatic brake system.
4. Selectable Drive Modes
Drivers can adjust the performance of the powertrain and transmission by toggling the Drive Mode Select system. The Normal driving mode is ideal for everyday driving, such as running errands or driving to work, while the Sport mode is better for aggressive driving on the highway. The IS also has a turbo-boost display on models with a turbocharged powertrain.
The IS 500 F SPORT models have additional drive modes (Eco, Sport S, Sport S +, and Custom) to maximize the sedan’s sporty performance and enhance the F SPORT-tuned engineering features, such as the Adaptive Variable Suspension.
The IS is a high-performance model with smart safety technology and adjustable engineering features to maximize your driving experience. Test out this thrilling model when you drop by Fox Lexus of El Paso in El Paso, TX.
