Used 2023 LexusIS 300

LOCAL TRADE, The 2023 Lexus IS 300 is a luxury compact sedan that blends sporty ambition with refined comfort, positioned in Lexuss lineup as the entry-level IS (though still quite premium). It retains the bold, aggressive styling cues of the current IS generation, introduced just a few years earlier, with a spindle grille, sharply creased body lines, and LED lighting elements that emphasize tension and precision. The F SPORT trims inject even more visual drama with sportier bumpers, mesh-style grille inserts, rear lip spoilers, and aluminum pedals. Lexus +2 Lexus USA Newsroom +2 Drivetrain & Performance One of the unique aspects of the IS 300 is the dual-approach to propulsion depending on drivetrain choice: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) models use a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing about 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic. CARFAX +3 Edmunds +3 Lexus +3 All-Wheel Drive (AWD) versions employ a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6, rated at 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Edmunds +2 Lexus USA Newsroom +2 This dual-engine scheme gives buyers an interesting choice: the turbo-4 in a classic rear-drive layout (which is somewhat rare in this segment today) or an AWD version with a more traditional V6. The RWD model is often considered the better value for climates where traction isnt a major concern. Edmunds +2 Capital One +2 As for outright performance, the IS 300 is capable of 0-60 mph in just over 6 seconds (depending on trim and drivetrain). Consumer Reports +2 Lexus +2 Its driving experience is a balance: sporty enough to feel lively and engaging, but also tuned to deliver Lexuss expected levels of composure and quietness at cruising speeds. Fuel Economy & Efficiency Fuel economy is decent but not stellar given the performance aspirations. The RWD model (turbo-4) can deliver in the mid-20s (mpg combined), while the AWD V6 tends toward lower numbers. Capital One +2 Edmunds +2 The tradeoff is that you're getting genuine performance and premium materials rather than a purely efficiency-optimized car. Interior & Features Inside, the cabin leans into Lexuss reputation for craftsmanship, using quality materials and attention to detail. Standard features include LED headlamps, taillamps, daytime running lights, and NuLuxe synthetic leather interior trim. Lexus +1 Front seats are eight-way power adjustable, and the F SPORT versions get enhanced bolstering. Lexus +1 The infotainment and technology side is a bit polarizing: Lexus uses a touchpad-based interface rather than a more modern touchscreen-first approach, which some users find less intuitive. (This has been a common criticism across Lexus models of this era.) In terms of safety tech, the car comes equipped with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, which bundles features like adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist, pre-collision braking, and more. Lexus +2 Lexus USA Newsroom +2 Trunk space is modest around 10.8 cubic feet so it's more aligned with compact sporty sedans than generous luxury sedans. Edmunds +1 The rear seating offers enough for two adults on short trips, though taller passengers may find headroom or legroom somewhat constrained compared to larger luxury sedans., Circuit Red w/Perforated NuLuxe Seat Trim.
