5 reasons to buy the 2023 Lexus IS 300

1. Comfortable ride

The 2023 Lexus IS 300 offers a great driving experience, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey no matter whether you're on the highway or zipping around town. The finely tuned suspension absorbs much of the bumps and potholes the city commute throws your way, while well-engineered sound isolation, double-pane front windows, and an acoustic windshield cut out wind and road noise. This is a car that gives you a bit of breathing space during your daily drives.

2. Standard driving assists

Equipped with a suite of driver-assistance technologies, the 2023 Lexus IS takes the strain out of long road trips. Every 2023 Lexus IS has a lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. These driver aids keep the car centered in the lane while maintaining a set gap with the vehicle in front of you. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts round out the driver-assist features built into every 2023 Lexus IS 300.

3. Luxurious interior

Step inside the 2023 Lexus IS 300 and experience its luxurious interior design. A meticulously crafted interior surrounds you with high-end trims and accents. The seats are well-cushioned and provide excellent support for drivers and passengers. Sink into the soft NuLuxe® seating, standard on every 2023 Lexus IS300, which is elevated with heating and cooling by the Comfort Package. Open-pore interior trim and front memory seats build on an impressively luxurious interior as part of the Premium Package.

4. Today's in-demand tech

Stay connected and entertained with the cutting-edge technology features of the 2023 Lexus IS 300. Standard technology includes smartphone integration, Bluetooth® connectivity, and the Lexus Multimedia System with an eight-inch touchscreen. The Navigation Package swaps out the standard infotainment with a stunning 10.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen. Immerse yourself in an incredible audio experience from the available Mark Levinson® 1,800-watt, 17-speaker sound system.

5. Capable engine options

The standard turbocharged four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic transmission in a 2023 Lexus IS 300 give you plenty of performance, but it's also frugal on gas. The 2023 Lexus IS RWD turbocharged four-cylinder gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.

If you need confident traction in all weather or road conditions, consider the 2023 IS 300 AWD, powered by a 260-hp V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
