What's New for the 2027 Lexus IS?
Fresh off substantial upgrades in the prior model year, the 2027 IS returns largely unchanged with subtle refinements throughout.
What Are the 2027 IS Trims & Features?
Lexus offers this compact luxury sport sedan in two primary trim configurations: F Sport Design and F Sport.
The well-equipped IS F Sport Design brings exceptional value to the lineup. Eye-catching exterior details-including exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels and signature LED headlights-give the sedan a commanding presence. Standard interior amenities feature dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a 10-speaker premium audio setup, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation.
For drivers wanting more engagement, the athletic IS F Sport sharpens dynamics using a specialized F Sport-tuned suspension for enhanced cornering stability. The cabin gains heated and ventilated front sport seats along with aluminum sport pedals, while unique 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in staggered summer tires round out its performance profile.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2027 IS Have?
At the heart of the sedan is a responsive 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 generating 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel-drive models route power through an eight-speed Sport Direct-Shift automatic transmission, while all-wheel-drive variants use a six-speed automatic.
To further unlock capability, the optional F Sport Handling Package on the F Sport trim adds an Adaptive Variable Suspension, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, and additional drive modes.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 IS Include?
Standard across the entire lineup is Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, a suite of advanced driver-assistance features. Core systems include a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection for automatic hazard braking, Proactive Driving Assist to lend subtle steering support, Automatic High Beams, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Road Sign Assist. Opting for the available Technology Package introduces extra driver assistance features like Traffic Jam Assist.
