Second generation · XE20
facelift 2010The IS that made Lexus credible in the compact executive class: rear-wheel drive, a cabin that outlasts its German contemporaries and, with the IS 250, a sweet naturally aspirated V6. The diesel IS 220d is the trap, Toyota's 2.2 D-4D was troublesome and only came with a manual gearbox. The IS 250C folding hard-top and the 423 hp IS F are the interesting rarities.
- •Arrow-shaped headlamps and a narrow, pre-spindle grille; facelift cars have LED running lights and reshaped bumpers
- •IS 250C: two-door with a three-piece folding hard-top and a taller rear deck
- •IS F: stacked quad exhaust tips, bulged bonnet, wider front wings and 19-inch forged wheels

facelift 2016The IS that finally matched the Germans on chassis and beat them on running costs. Rear-wheel drive, a stiff body and a well-made cabin; the IS 300h (2.5 petrol hybrid, 223 hp) is over 90% of Polish supply and a genuinely reliable car. The IS 250 V6 (until 2015) and the IS 200t/300 2.0 turbo (2015 on) are the rare petrol alternatives. The 2016 facelift added Lexus Safety System+ as standard and a nicer interior; it is worth the premium if the budget allows.
- •Pre-facelift (2013–2016): L-shaped LED daytime running lights sit as a separate 'tick' below the headlamps, chrome-framed spindle grille
- •Facelift (2017–2020): DRLs integrated inside the headlamps, bigger grille reaching lower, new rear lamps with L-shaped graphics
- •F Sport: mesh grille insert, 18-inch wheels, sports seats and the sliding LFA-style instrument bezel
