Used 2021 Lexus IS 350 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Lexus IS 350 is offered in a single trim level: the IS 350 F Sport. Its only available engine is a 3.5-liter V6 (311 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque). The related IS 300, which we review separately on Edmunds, comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder. The rear-wheel drive IS 350 comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the all-wheel-drive version has a six-speed automatic. Feature highlights include:

IS 350 F Sport
Starts you off with:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Push-button start and proximity entry
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • 10-speaker sound system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Lexus Enform communication services

The IS 350 also has a suite of advanced driver aids that include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Traffic sign reader (sees road signs including speed limits and displays them to the driver)

Available options include:

  • Sunroof
  • Navigation system with 10.3-inch touchscreen
  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system
  • Dynamic Handling package (adaptive suspension system, special wheels, and limited-slip differential on RWD cars)
  • Surround-view camera system with parking sensors

Which IS 350 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Given that the IS 350 is only available in one trim that comes standard with a powerful V6 engine, we recommend improving other aspects of the car to match. Stick with the IS 350 F Sport RWD and its standard eight-speed automatic transmission, instead of all-wheel drive and a six-speed auto. With the savings, add the Dynamic Handling package. It includes an adaptive suspension and limited-slip differential for improved traction while cornering.
