This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 lexus Is 300 AWD compact, luxury sedan. The Lexus IS 300 AWD model has a 3.5L V6 with a 6-speed automatic transmission, 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, Premium fuel is required. In Canada, the turbocharged 2L 4-cylinder RWD model with 241 horsepower is gone for 2024 but it is still available in the US.
The Lexus IS 300 has an athletic look with a low, wide stance, bold front fascia and a muscular silhouette. It has 5.5” of ground clearance with a drag coefficient of 0.29. It comes standard with LED headlamps, automatic high beam, 18” wheels and a temporary spare tire. We are driving the F Sport 3 model with premium triple beam LED headlamps, an integrated rear spoiler, 19” F Sport wheels and larger diameter tires.
The Lexus IS 300 comes standard with an 8” touchscreen, available 10.3”, wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, 8-way power front seats, NuLuxe upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, moonroof and Lexus Safety System+ 2.5.
Unfortunately, the glitchy trackpad is still in the IS but at least the screen is a touchscreen, so you don’t have to exclusively use the trackpad. The cabin is comfortable and driver focused with everything at your fingertips. The IS offers some great front row legroom but does fall short in second row legroom and cargo space compared to some of its competitors.
There’s a lot of value in the Lexus IS 300, in Canada, the AWD model starts at $50,582 CAD,
F Sport design, $52,032 CAD , Luxury $54,532 CAD, F Sport 2 $57,732 CAD, Ultra Luxury $59,182 CAD and our F Sport 3 test model $60,882 CAD.
In the US, the Lexus IS RWD model starts at $41,235 USD, AWD $43,235 USD, RWD F Sport design $43,055 USD, AWD F Sport design $45,095 USD, F Sport RWD $44,305 USD and F Sport AWD $46,345 USD.
The official fuel economy numbers are 12.2L/100 km, 19 MPG city and 9L/100 km, 26 MPG highway. We have been getting better than this 8.7L/100 km, 27 MPG.
