Lexus has announced US pricing for the smallest sports sedan in its lineup, the new 2014 IS being offered from $35,950. They say that's 2.1% cheaper than the outgoing model, but the BMW 3 Series range starts at $32,550, so maybe the Japanese car could have been a little cheaper.
The baser IS 250 is powered by a small V6 with 204 horsepower and 185 lb-ft. The AWD version of the same car cost $38,485. The 2014 IS also comes in 350 form, powered by the now familiar 3.5-liter Toyota V6 producing 306 horsepower. This costs $39,465 for RWD and $41,700 for AWD versions.
Standard features include HID headlamps, LED daytime running lights arranged in an L shape,paddle shifters for the automatic gearbox, 10 airbags, as well as Lexus' next-generation Remote Touch Interface.
The $3,665 Luxury Package includes a perforated leather-trimmed interior, linear wood trim, electrochromic exterior mirrors with reverse tilt, rain-sensing wipers, driver seat memory, a power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, center stack knee pads and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The F SPORT Package, costing $3,115 for IS 250 RWD and $3,620 for IS 350 RWD, offers a full-mesh grille and front bumper, LED headlamps, 18-inch split 5-spoke wheels, front sport seats, and a more aggressive sport-tuned suspension. Inside, the sporty IS models feature the attention-grabbing center-mounted tachometer with moving bezel inspired from the LFA. The IS 350 F SPORT adds standard Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with a Sport S+ drive mode.
