Lexus updates IS model with two variants

The latest update of Lexus' IS model introduces two variants: The IS 300h and the IS 350. With "refinement in performance and design" as the key development theme, the IS has been further polished to enhance the qualities it has long pursued: An engaging driving experience and an aggressive, sporty design.

Thus, the IS's exterior has been updated with a new front design that accentuates its low centre of gravity and wide stance. The "F Sport" model adds to this dynamic appeal with a newly designed rear spoiler that improves aerodynamic performance, along with newly styled 19-inch aluminium wheels.

The updated IS features a more aggressive, sportier interior and exterior design

Its exterior colour lineup has also been expanded to a total of eight options with the addition of Neutrino Gray.

Inside, the IS's centre display has been enlarged to 12.3 inches, aligning with the driver's line of sight. The TFT LCD metre in front of the driver has also been increased to 12.3 inches, delivering clear and easy to read graphics.

The IS's Enhanced Lexus Safety System+ and next-gen multimedia system offer greater safety and peace of mind

In addition, newly developed "Forged Bamboo" ornamentation has been applied to the upper console and start switch bezel. The updated IS also offers a new interior colour, "Prominence", inspired by the vivid glow of solar flares.

Lexus has said that the new variants will go on sale in various markets starting in early 2026.
