It is a 2.5L V6 engine making 204 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque.

The IS 250 Sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.5 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 7.1 seconds with the automatic. Depending on the powertrain, the IS 250 Sedan can manage a combined fuel economy of between 21 and 24 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the IS 250 Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself.
