Lexus Prices 2019 IS

Nov 21, 2018

Summary
IS holds firm

Lexus isn't making any changes to the IS sports sedan for 2019. And that includes the price, holding firm starting from $41,050.

The IS is offered with three engines, though the naming scheme is a little confusing. The base car is the IS 300 RWD. That one gets a 2.0L turbo-four that makes 241 hp. The next step up is the IS 300 AWD, which gets all-wheel drive, but also a 3.5L V6 that makes 260 hp. Finally, the IS 350 AWD which gets a 3.5L V6 – which makes 311 hp – and also has all-wheel drive.

The base IS 300 has a 10-speaker audio system and heated sports seats. Buyers can add an F Sport Series 1 pack that adds active noise control, ventilated front seats, moonroof, and F Sport styling that includes 18-inch wheels.

The IS 300 AWD is similarly equipped, with the addition of the bigger engine and all-wheel drive, but has more available options. A Premium package heats the steering wheel, ventilated the seats, and gets blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. A Luxury package adds navigation and a 10.3-inch display, driver seat memory, and adaptive front lights. F Sport Series 1 adds the same pieces as on the RWD version, and the F Sport Series 2 the rest of the Luxury package convenience features to the F Sport's upgraded wheels and styling.

The IS 350 starts with the Executive package that adds a 15-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, navigation, ventilated seats, power moonroof, adaptive lighting, seat memory, and more. It gets the F Sport aerodynamics as the F Sport Series 2, and adds an adaptive suspension but loses the Mark Levinson stereo and adaptive lighting. To get that back, pick the F Sport Series three that comes with the stereo, LED headlamps, and power rear sunshade.

All IS models get a safety suite that includes radar cruise, lane departure with lane keep assist, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams.

The 2019 Lexus IS series is on sale now.
