What Changed
The third generation Lexus IS is significantly longer and wider than prior models. Lexus increased the length by about 3 inches which contributes to improved legroom and a larger interior volume. The two V6 powertrains remain the same: IS250 models are powered by a small-displacement 204-bhp V6, whereas IS350 models include a larger 3.5l V6 rated at 306-bhp. |
