The luxury sports sedan was recreated 20 years ago with the release of the 2021 Lexus IS. The top sports sedan title had been held by one German manufacturer until the Lexus IS entered the game. The immediately popular sports sedan is known amongst the car world for its extraordinary driving experience. The sports sedan segment is as competitive as ever and we knew that good enough won’t cut it. ‘The relentless pursuit of perfection’ meant that the 2021 Lexus IS had to be ahead of the competition, and it is. Let’s take a deeper look at the brand-new 2021 Lexus IS.
For the performance-minded drivers, the allure of the 2021 IS comes from the high horsepower and rear-wheel drive capabilities of the F SPORT. It truly is the calling card of the Lexus IS and we’ll revisit it soon, but first let’s talk about what else the Lexus IS the other options. The standard engine is a 2.0L turbocharged inline 4-cylinder is paired with an 8 speed automatic transmission, that can create 241hp and 258 lb-ft of torque at its highest marks. And is able to get up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. The first optional engine is a 3.5L V6 that creates 260hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, it is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and option for RWD or AWD. And in comparing the miles per gallon, the RWD comes out on top with 28 mpg and 26 mpg for the AWD. The F SPORT also comes standard with a 3.5L V6 but it is tuned to perfection to create 311hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. That means you can rocket from 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds but still expect to get 24mpg on the highway. Mercy.
The brand-new 2021 IS may share some design cues with the previous model to a certain degree, your eyes will certainly be drawn to the all-new wheel options, taillights, and headlights. The available triple-beam LED headlights will be sure to light up the street ahead, while the L-shaped blade-style lightbar lining the rear of the sedan will be a pleasant sight for those left behind. 18-inch wheels come standard on the Lexus IS, with the F SPORT getting 19-inch wheels for the first time. Jump inside and you will find push button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, an available power moonroof, NuLuxe-trimmed seating, 10-way power drive seat (8-way passenger), and push button start.
The 2021 Lexus IS has been created to make your driving experience amazing. An 8.0-inch touchscreen is now standard and has been moved 3-inches closer to the driver for easier access. An outstanding 10.3-inch touchscreen comes with the optional Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system. Some features also included with the 10.3-inch screen are Apple CarPlay©, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, WhatsApp, Google Maps, Navigation, Google Assistant, and more. The available tech upgrades aren’t just limited to the stereo either, now standard on the 2021 IS is the Lexus Safety Suite+ 2.5. This impressive suite of safety features includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Alert, and All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control|All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Crash Warning just to name a few.
