Lexus IS

Whether it has a V6 or a hybrid engine under the hood, the 2021 Lexus IS is a sports sedan through and through.

It may be considered as the baby sedan of the range, but the Lexus IS is the sportiest across the brand's sedan lineup. Refreshed and redesigned for the 2021 model year, the sports sedan gets a more aggressive look, an updated interior, more high-tech features, and a new hybrid option. Under the hood, the IS is available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain. The former is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox while the latter is connected to a CVT.
