Reviews

The first-generation Lexus IS was introduced in 2000 as an entry-level compact luxury sedan (and later wagon) featuring a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, sporty exterior styling, and a chronograph-styled dashboard. Completely redesigned for 2006, the second-generation IS offers a more traditional Lexus design and experience, and it has grown in dimensions. The inline 6-cylinder engine has been replaced by a pair of powerful V-6 engines.
