Lexus IS Engines and Transmissions

Among the Lexus IS engine choices, the 3.5 AT pairs a gasoline V6 with a conventional automatic transmission, offering smooth power delivery and distinct gear changes. The 2.5 CVT hybrid uses a continuously variable transmission and can recover energy during deceleration, helping efficiency in stop-start traffic. Both examples have rear-wheel drive.

Lexus IS Trims and Equipment

Lexus IS trim levels define equipment packages alongside the technical version: the 2.5 CVT hybrid has configurations named Luxury and Premium. When choosing between them, compare the actual seating, infotainment and convenience features fitted to each car, since the trim names alone do not establish its equipment.
