Overview

The 2015 Lexus IS 350 makes for an excellent contender in the compact sedan. With a single trim on offer, the Lexus IS 350 has a base MSRP of $40,065, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $42,300, competing directly with the BMW 3 Series, the Volvo S60, and the Audi A4. Only a 3.5L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 306 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, the IS 350 maintains a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG. Lexus offers the IS 350 in 8 stunning colors, with the Atomic Silver being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

The 2015 Lexus IS 350 comes with lots of standard equipment considering it's available as a standalone trim. But it also offers a generous list of optional features - from its available optional packages, we highly recommend the Navigation package as it adds additional technological features such as remote touch interface, navigation system, voice controls, Siri Eyes Free smartphone connectivity, HD radio and Lexus Enform app-based infotainment among other features.
