2023 Lexus IS 350 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

For 2023, the IS 350 is available in two trims: IS 350 F Sport Design and IS 350 F Sport. Both trims come standard with a 3.5-liter V6 (311 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque) and are available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The RWD IS 350 includes an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the AWD version uses a six-speed automatic. Edmunds reviews the related IS 300 (turbocharged four-cylinder) and IS 500 (V8) models separately.

IS 350 F Sport Design
Major features on the IS 350's standard equipment list include:

  • F Sport exterior styling
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Heated exterior mirrors
  • Hands-free keyless entry with push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable sport front seats
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Lexus Enform connected services
  • 10-speaker sound system

All IS 350s feature these standard driver assist and collision avoidance systems:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts 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)

There are just two option packages for the F Sport Design model. They are:

  • Navigation package
    • 10.3-inch touchscreen display
    • Navigation system
  • Sunroof

IS 350 F Sport
The IS 350 F Sport adds some standard features and optional equipment. Additional standard features include:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Aluminum sport pedals

Additional F Sport options include:

  • Memory package
    • Power-adjustable steering wheel
    • Outside mirrors that tilt down for a curb view when reversing
    • Memory for the driver's preferred settings
  • F Sport Dynamic Handling package
    • 19-inch black-painted forged alloy BBS wheels
    • Adaptive suspension dampers
    • Limited-slip rear differential (for RWD models only, helps maximize available traction during hard acceleration)
    • Additional Sport driving modes
    • Card key access to the vehicle and engine starting

A number of stand-alone options are also available for the IS 350 F Sport:

  • Triple-beam LED headlights
  • Sunroof
  • Power rear sunshade
  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the IS 350 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Which IS 350 trim does Edmunds recommend?

For 2023, the IS 350 is available in two flavors. We recommend springing for the F Sport model. The base F Sport Design trim merely looks the part, while stepping up to the full-on F Sport model grants access to the F Sport Dynamic Handling package that we deem a must-have. It includes an adaptive suspension, grants access to more drive modes, and adds a limited-slip differential, all of which elevate the IS 350's handling.
