2024 Lexus IS 300 AWD Review / Can it keep up with the new crowd?

Mainstream sedans have been on a decline due to the popularity of crossovers & SUVs. But luxury sedans have never had it better. There are still a lot of choices when it comes to this class of vehicle. While many have been updated in the past 2 or so years, the 2024 Lexus IS has been trailing behind a bit. So in 2024, is it still worth it to buy or lease a new Lexus IS?

Unlike most of the luxury sedan rivals, the Lexus IS is still available with a naturally aspirated V6 engine. The V6 in this IS300 AWD develops 260 hp & 231 lb-ft of torque (194 kW & 313 Nm). That is a reasonable amount of power and it enables the 1,745 kg (3,847 lbs) IS300 to accelerate from a stop to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds according to Lexus.

One area where the 2024 Lexus IS300 has a distinct advantage over its luxury competitors is with the starting price. In Canada, it will cost you $47,250 CAD ($41,235 USD, RWD) which includes the standard AWD system. In the US, the AWD system for the IS300 is a $2,000 USD option. This demo vehicle has the F-Sport 3 package and it costs $58,050 CAD ($53,310 USD).
