Lexus IS for Sale

The automotive industry is inundated with abbreviations and unique car names, but there's always a meaning behind the nomenclature.

Sporty and Luxurious: Meet the Lexus IS

With BMW cornering the market on luxury sedans in the late 1990s, Toyota knew it was time to up its game and introduce a premium sedan that would add heat to the competition. That answer came in 1999 when Toyota introduced Japanese drivers to the Altezza, which means "highness" in Italian. Positioned just below the ES, the Altezza was a massive success in Toyota's home market, and that set the stage for its North American debut in the new millennium.

The Altezza landed on American soil wearing the Lexus IS 300 name as part of Toyota's then-new luxury brand. Its sporty, compact design and rear-wheel drive performance made it an instant hit, especially with Lexus giving the American model a more potent 3.0L engine capable of delivering north of 200 hp. Even so, performance-oriented drivers continued to ask for more and, thankfully, Lexus delivered with models like the IS F. With its beefy 5.0L V8 engine roaring to life, the IS F packed a heavy punch as a powerhouse with a penchant for thrills and speed. The addition of its eight-speed automatic transmission and performance-tuned suspension was icing on the proverbial cake for the Lexus IS F.

The IS F is evidence of Lexus' willingness to answer our demands more, with every new generation of the IS proving the same. Since the new millennium, the IS has evolved to deliver a more engaging and thrilling experience behind the wheel while adding premium luxuries and features. The result is a transformative experience dripping with luxury and exhilaration, making it the perfect executive sedan for our customers looking for something enjoyable and engaging to drive around town and beyond the city limits.

Lexus IS vs Lexus ES: What's the Difference?

Lexus encourages us to expect more when navigating our busy lives. Sedans like the Lexus IS and Lexus ES offer next-level luxury and outstanding performance, making them both popular choices for our customers. But what are their key differences, and how can you decide between these two luxury sedans?

Size is one of the first things to consider when shopping between the Lexus IS and Lexus ES. The IS is the gateway into Lexus's sedan lineup as a compact executive car. Alternatively, the ES is a midsize sedan with a larger footprint that stretches nearly a foot longer than the IS. In this case, the IS gains an advantage for being easier to maneuver throughout the city's congested streets and far simpler to park.

Despite its smaller footprint, the Lexus IS also packs a bigger punch than the Lexus ES. As a performance-oriented sports sedan, the IS offers more engine options, with its powertrains producing more horsepower and torque than the ES. Additional features like tuned suspension add to its performance, making it more fun and engaging to drive than the larger ES.

The biggest advantage of the ES is its larger cabin, but that's a minor detail considering Lexus' keen attention to detail and success at designing luxurious cockpits. The IS and ES both feature cutting-edge technologies that keep you informed and connected, with plush seating and a long list of conveniences guaranteeing your experience is top-notch wherever you travel. The combination is exceptional, and you can't go wrong with either, but the IS is favored by performance-oriented drivers for its agility, high-value packaging, and penchant for speed.

Leasing the Lexus IS: Enjoying the Perks of Luxury

You deserve an extraordinary experience in the driver's seat and are guaranteed that experience when you shop for a Lexus IS for sale on our showroom floor. But what would make that experience even better? Knowing you could enjoy the latest from Lexus, from cutting-edge technologies and conveniences to premium luxuries, every few years by leasing your IS.

While we can certainly help you finance a Lexus IS, leasing is often more practical and customizable for our customers. For example, we offer several different lease packages, with our team outlining your options and listening attentively to your needs to find the optimal lease agreement. For some customers, it might be a shorter lease with a modest mileage limit to accommodate their commuting needs, while others may benefit from a longer lease with broader limits.

Regardless of the terms, leasing a Lexus IS guarantees you can bring your luxury dreams to life and leave the responsibilities of ownership to us. Moreover, it gives you the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a new Lexus every few years without having to worry about negotiating a trade-in or navigating your next purchase. Instead, the end-of-lease process is incredibly straightforward, from completing our end-of-lease inspection to deciding whether you want to finance your next purchase or sign another lease and get behind the wheel of an all-new Lexus with every feature imaginable.
