What's New for the 2026 Lexus IS 350?
The IS is the entry-level sedan in the 2026 Lexus lineup. This year, the boldly styled IS debuts its fourth generation with notable improvements to its performance systems, trim levels, design, and technologies. The exclusive trim level available in 2026 is the IS 350. The IS 300 and the IS 500 are gone.
Under the hood of the IS 350, you'll find a V6 gas engine that produces 311 horsepower. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard on the IS 350 for the 2026 model year. Mechanical enhancements include adaptive suspension dampers, a limited-slip differential, quad exhaust tips, and several Sport driving modes.
Both the interior and exterior of the 2026 Lexus IS have been modernized to perfection while retaining their high-end, sporty appeal. The model expresses its athleticism through its dramatically arched and tapered profile. The precious sculpture over the sides rounds up over the flared rear fenders. On the nose, the typical hourglass-style grille that the Lexus brand is recognized for is flared and bottom-heavy for a bold touch. At the same time, the air inlets and sharp headlights point inward to highlight the grille's shape. The headlights are topped by a bolt of LED lighting.
The IS 350 is available in two sub-trims. These are the F Sport and the F Sport Design. Both options now feature a 12.3-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Depending on the sub trim that you select, your IS 350 may be appointed with a sunroof, a 360-degree camera system, front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking, a 17-speaker premium Mark Levinson audio system, a navigation system, powered rear sunshades, driver's memory settings, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, lane departure mitigation, forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot warning system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, synthetic leather upholstery, a dual-zone auto climate control system, and additional features.
