The 2022 Lexus IS 300 is a compact luxury sedan that is positioned below the IS 350. Last year, it had been redesigned with more athletic styling and sleeker forms. Inside, the IS 300 features a standard 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system with built-in Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and two USB ports.
It is powered by a standard 241-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD). A more powerful 260-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 joined with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive (AWD) is also available. Fuel economy for the RWD IS 300 is an EPA-estimated rating of 21/31 mpg city/highway. It slightly decreases to a 19/26 mpg rating for the AWD IS 300.
