2015 Lexus IS 250

Lexus redesigned the IS last year, giving the sport sedan the bold spindle grille seen on other newer Lexus models as well as an all-new interior with a roomier backseat. Offered with rear- or all-wheel drive with a choice of two V-6 engines, the IS competes against models like the Cadillac ATS, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.

New for 2015
Model-year 2015 brings changes for the car's interior. The remote touch interface knob is updated for the navigation system. All-wheel-drive models and the F Sport now have a heated steering wheel. The Lexus Enform Remote, a subscription system that, among other things, allows owners to start their car with a smartphone, is also available.
