We just test drove the 2014 IS last week and will be bringing a full review here in the coming days. In the meantime we can tell you that the base IS 250 is powered by a smooth 2.5-liter V6 delivering 204 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque. This model willl have a starting MSRP of $35,950 for RWD and $38,485 for AWD.
The IS 350, which shares the same 306 horsepower from its 3.5L V6 engine from the GS 350, will have a starting MSRP of $39,465 for RWD and $41,700 for AWD. Lexus notes that the base price for the 2014 IS 350 is 2.1% lower than the model it replaces.
The new IS will be equipped with an array of standard features such as HID headlamps, L-shaped LED daytime running lights, Drive Mode Select, paddle shifters, a dual zone climate control system, a next-generation Remote Touch Interface, Display Audio, a color 4.2 inch TFT multi-information display and 10 airbags.
In an industry first, the all-new multimedia system delivers real-time traffic and weather information without a subscription. In all, over $1,400 in previously optional equipment has been made standard for the 2014 IS.
Premium, Luxury and F SPORT packages will be available across the model range. The available Premium Package ($1,050 for RWD models) includes LED headlamps and heated and ventilated front seats. The Luxury Package ($3,665 for RWD models) includes Premium Package features plus 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.
A revamped F SPORT Package ($3,115 for IS 250 RWD and $3,620 for IS 350 RWD) offers a unique full-mesh grille and front bumper, LED headlamps, 18” split 5-spoke wheels, front sport seats, and a more aggressive sport-tuned suspension.
Inside, all F SPORT models feature the attention-grabbing center-mounted tachometer with moving bezel adopted directly from the LFA. The IS 350 F SPORT adds standard Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with a Sport S+ drive mode. For the first time, the F SPORT package is also available for IS AWD models.
