The 2021 Lexus IS

The 2021 Lexus IS sedan hits dealerships later this year, but today the company is revealing how much its new luxury sedan will cost. The most affordable version is the base IS 300 rear-wheel-drive model, which costs $39,900 before options and delivery fees ($1,025). That is the lone four-cylinder Lexus IS in the range, powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter good for 241 horsepower (179 kilowatts) and 250 pound-feet (338 newton-meters).

Moving to the IS 300 all-wheel-drive model will cost $41,000, and that version gets a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 260 hp (194 kW) and 236 lb-ft (319 nm). At the top of the range is the IS 350 F Sport (the F Sport visual package is now standard on the 350), which costs $42,900 with rear-wheel drive or $44,900 with all-wheel drive. Powering the IS 350 F Sport is a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 311 hp (231 kW) and 280 lb-ft (380 nm). Here's how it all breaks down:
