Are Lexus IS models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently describe the Lexus IS as well built, dependable, and satisfying to live with over time. The model’s reputation is reinforced by strong owner feedback across many years, especially for comfort, quality, and long-term confidence.

• Owners rate the Lexus IS between 3.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, that points to a model with generally favourable long-term ownership risk, especially if you choose a well-maintained example with a clear service history.

What should I look for when buying a used Lexus IS?

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 on 2022 models, with lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control with lane-centring assistance, blind spot monitoring, and collision warning and emergency braking.
• Infotainment: an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and SiriusXM satellite radio; the 2022 IS 500 also adds a 10.3-inch touchscreen and navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: the IS 500 isn’t particularly fuel-efficient, averaging 13.3 litres per 100 kilometres during evaluation, and that figure fell short of the official Natural Resources Canada fuel consumption rating of 11.9 L/100 km in combined driving.

Which Lexus IS trim should I buy?

The 2022 Lexus IS offers these trims:

• Lexus IS 300 RWD: the entry point for the lineup, with a standard turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and the core Lexus IS driving character.
• Lexus IS 350 F Sport: adds a robust 311-hp 3.5-litre V6 and is a satisfying sports sedan in its own right, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance: brings the normally aspirated 5.0-litre V8, rear-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic, a limited-slip differential, adaptive variable suspension, a Yamaha rear performance damper, triple-beam headlights, a navigation system, a surround-view monitoring system, and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium sound system for buyers who want the most dramatic version.

What Lexus IS do most buyers choose?

The Lexus IS years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to attract the most attention because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right colour, trim, and equipment mix. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop if you want a newer Lexus IS with a broader selection of listings.

What is the Lexus IS's resale value?

Most Lexus IS model years are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favour if you’re shopping used. A few years are rising, though, so the market is not moving in one direction across the board.

The 2024 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2020, 2018, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Is the Lexus IS safe?

• 2021: 7/10

Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is standard on all 2022 IS models.
