Product Overview

Lexus IS Mark II (chassis code XE20) is a compact executive sedan in production from 2005 to 2013. It was available with a range of V6 and inline-4 engines that displaced 2.2 to 3.5 liters.

Throughout the model's production run, Lexus continued to update the vehicle. In 2008 and 2010, two minor facelifts took place, though the mechanicals remained unchanged.

Overall, the Gen2 Lexus IS had much improved interior fit and finish, though the exterior styling was rather bland.

All inline-6 engines were dropped in favor of newer V6 engines. Lexus also added a small diesel IS 220d for the EU market and AWD for the IS 250.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Lexus IS comes with double-wishbone suspensions at all four corners. This provides the good cornering performance and durability, though multi-link tends to be more tunable. Another plus is the small 10.2m (33.5ft) turning circle.
