2023 Lexus IS
The Lexus IS was the brand's compact sports sedan, aimed at buyers who wanted premium finish, sharp styling and rear-wheel-drive dynamics in a smaller package. It has been discontinued and is no longer on sale as a new car in Australia, but it remains a strong used option for shoppers who prefer sedans over SUVs. The IS offered a mix of four-cylinder, hybrid and V6 variants across its life, with the later range focused on style, comfort and everyday refinement. It suits drivers wanting a reliable luxury sedan with a sportier edge, especially those who value Lexus ownership support and a more distinctive cabin than mainstream alternatives.
