2020 Lexus IS 350 review

1. Luxurious cabin

The 2020 Lexus IS 350's cabin feels luxurious down to the smallest details. Both the shift knob and the steering wheel come trimmed in leather that's been selected by hand. Chrome and metal-looking accents add a polished look to the interiors. An available heating element on the steering wheel monitors the temperature and adjusts automatically to maintain a consistent comfort level. Even the lighting exudes elegance, with illuminated vanity mirrors, a glowing ignition switch, and interior lamps that fade gradually when switched off.

2. Advanced driver aids

Whether driving your daily commute, running errands, or taking a road trip, the 2020 Lexus IS 350's standard driver aids can make you feel more confident on your journey. The rearview camera with dynamic gridlines has your back when you're parallel parking or backing out of a parking spot. The lane departure alert with steering assist plays an audible warning if you stray from your lane and helps correct your course. No need to manually adjust your high beams at night—the headlights automatically switch from high-beam to low-beam mode temporarily when there's another vehicle ahead.

3. Large multimedia display

Love a big multimedia display? The Lexus IS 350 has you covered with an available high-resolution split-screen display that stretches a whopping 10.3 inches—the largest in its class for 2020. You can use it to access everything from your favorite apps and audio settings to the climate control and available voice-activated navigation system simultaneously.

4. Zippy engine

The 2020 Lexus IS 350's 3.5L V6 engine with 311 horsepower packs power on the road. With the all-wheel drive version, you can go from zero to 60 in 5.7 seconds (according to the manufacturer). Want an even zippier driving experience? Opt for the available rear-wheel drive IS 350, which gets you from zero to 60 in just 5.6 seconds. It makes merging onto a highway even smoother.

5. Sporty design

Between its 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, sharply angled headlights, aerodynamic body, and ground-hugging stance, the 2020 Lexus IS 350 draws attention on the road with its assertive styling. If you want even edgier exteriors, you can upgrade to the IS 350 F Sport. It stands out from other cars on the lot with unique front and rear bumpers, split five-spoke wheels, and two exclusive exterior colors: Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 and Ultra White.
