Luxury carmaker Lexus has revealed the 2024 iteration of the IS sedan in the US market. It sports a sleeker design than its predecessor. While there aren't any major overhauls for the updated model, the sedan does get a few visual tweaks and a price bump across the range. The base IS 300 trim now boasts an F Sport Design, complete with 19-inch designer wheels and exclusive badges.

The IS 300 F Sport also gets a visual makeover similar to the base model. It features heated and ventilated front seats, aluminum pedals, and an F Sport heated steering wheel. Under the hood, the IS 300 is available with either a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (241hp) or a 3.5-liter V6 mill (260hp). Meanwhile, the IS 350 packs a beefier V6 motor that churns out 311hp of maximum power.

For 2024, the brawnier IS 350 offers an optional Blackout Package for the F Sport version. This package includes matte black "BBS" 19-inch alloy wheels, blacked-out ORVMs, dark chrome window trim, and a memory package for the driver's seat, side mirrors, and steering wheel. The top-of-the-line IS 500 continues to impress with its potent 5.0-liter V8 engine that puts out 472hp of maximum power. These models also get an optional Incognito paint scheme.
