Sharply creased sheetmetal and furrowed headlamps give the 2021 Lexus IS an aggressive appearance that will help it stand apart from the sports-sedan crowd. Lexus claims to have focused on a bold design and a crisp driving experience with this redesigned—but not all-new —model in order to better compete with the Audi A4, the BMW 3-series, and the Genesis G70. The IS can be had with either a turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a gutsier V-6, the latter available with performance-enhancing features that should help satisfy driving enthusiasts and put the IS back in the hunt among its sprightlier rivals. Inside, driver and passengers are treated to a cabin that's lined with well-chosen materials, but passenger space is snug; other entry-luxury cars offer an airier environment. Expect the 2021 IS to appear in Lexus showrooms this fall.
The freshened IS rolls into 2021 with updated interior and exterior styling, enhanced driving dynamics, improved driver-assistance features, and a modernized infotainment system. Lexus IS 350 Specifications:
