2024 Lexus IS 300/350/500: What’s Changed?

The Lexus IS, even in its heavily facelifted form, is still an ageing sedan, but it continues on for 2024. So what’s new? Well the IS 300 lineup will now be offered in the F Sport Design trim with all the looks but none of the chassis tuning. IS 300 models can be had with a 241HP 2.0L Turbo 4 in RWD or a 3.5L V6 with 260HP in AWD. The IS350 comes with a 3.5L V6 making 311HP and 280 lb-ft of torque. The IS 500 is RWD only with a 5.0L V8, 472HP and 395 lb-ft of torque.

The IS350 now gets a new Incognito paint option and an optional Blackout Package which can only be had on the F Sport Handling Package trim. This gets you matte black BBS forged wheels, dark chrome trim, and more. The IS500 F Sport Performance comes with dark trim and a black mirror. There also is a Special Appearance Pack now with Blue Vector Paint, 19in BBS wheels, and blue stitching inside with just 150 units of this package coming to the US.

For 2024, IS 300 will add the F SPORT Design grade in both RWD and AWD configurations.

The IS 300 F SPORT grade receives the same exterior styling, with the addition of F SPORT interior cabin enhancements like heated/ventilated front seats, aluminium pedals and an F SPORT heated steering wheel. For 2024, Grecian Water exterior paint will only be available on IS 300 non-F SPORT models.
