For a compact luxury sedan that delivers an athletic performance, look no further than the 2024 Lexus IS 350. Your biggest decision will be choosing which of the four trim levels will serve you best. We bring you the lowdown on the IS 350 models to help make the decision a little easier.
Trim Levels of the 2024 Lexus IS 350
1. F Sport Design
Powering the full range is a 311-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, which Lexus pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive in the F Sport Design. This compact sedan will turn heads with its striking 19-inch split-five-spoke dark metallic alloy wheels and sleek gloss-black accents. Lighting is provided by bi-LED headlights, daytime running lamps, and a distinctive LED taillight strip that tapers at the center.
The classy styling continues inside with a NuLux synthetic leather and black metallic trim interior. Front passengers enjoy heated eight-way power-adjustable seats and the slide-touch dual-zone climate control lets you set the cabin to the perfect temperature. The F Sport Design also introduces the Lexus Multimedia System, giving you an eight-inch touchscreen with Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Apple CarPlay integration, and Android Auto compatibility.
Lexus Safety System+ 2.5
Every IS 350 is equipped with the Lexus Safety System, a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. Standard features include pre-collision with pedestrian detection, lane departure with steering assist, traffic sign recognition, a rearview camera, and dynamic radar cruise control.
2. F Sport Design AWD
Drivers looking to maximize performance should opt for an all-wheel-drive version of the IS 350. The F Sport Design AWD retains the engine, technologies, and design features of the F Sport Design but upgrades the drive train to an all-wheel-drive setup as standard. Lexus also switches out the transmission for a six-speed paddle-shift one.
3. F Sport
Reverting to the rear-wheel drive layout, the F Sport gains more premium features, such as rain-sensing windshield wipers and a heated leather-trimmed steering wheel. Black geometric trimming enhances the luxurious feel of the interior. A comfort boost gives drivers a 10-way power seat with lumbar support and a four-way adjustable headrest. The bolstered front seats are ventilated for instant coolness during Fort Wayne’s hotter months.
4. F Sport AWD
Heading the range is the F Sport AWD, which combines the AWD drivetrain and the premium elements of the F Sport to become Lexus’ most luxurious and high-performing IS 350.
