The 2013 Lexus IS 350 is a luxury sport sedan designed to compete with the best of Europe, offering a more reliable and "buttoned-down" alternative to its German rivals. It features a wide, athletic stance with a low center of gravity.1 While the 2013 model year saw the introduction of the "spindle grille" on other Lexus models, the IS retained its classic, understated front fascia for this final year of production, though it benefited from updated LED Daytime Running Lights and a sophisticated silhouette that has aged remarkably well. Inside, the cabin is focused on "snug roominess," utilizing premium materials like woodgrain trim and high-quality leather to create a cockpit-like environment for the driver.
