Lexus IS 350 AWD – F SPORT DESIGN 2026

Car introduction

Lexus IS 350 AWD – F SPORT Design is a sport sedan fine-tuned by Lexus at the Shimoyama Test Track. Modeled after the legendary Nürburgring, the circuit combines high-speed sections, technical corners, elevation changes, and multiple surface types. It was here that the IS underwent extensive testing under extreme conditions to achieve precise steering response, enhanced stability, and optimal chassis tuning. The result is a sedan that combines the traditional comfort of Lexus with exceptionally balanced sporting dynamics.

Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine featuring direct fuel injection and VVT-i variable valve timing. The engine delivers 311 HP (232 kW) at 6,600 rpm and 380 Nm of torque. In the AWD version, the powerplant is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift capability via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 230 km/h.

The IS chassis features a double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, ensuring precise handling and excellent stability at higher speeds. The sporty character of the F SPORT Design grade is emphasized by 19-inch alloy wheels, redesigned bumpers, and exclusive exterior styling elements. The electric power steering system provides accurate feedback and a natural steering feel. Ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels deliver confident stopping power and high fade resistance during spirited driving.

Drivers can tailor the vehicle’s characteristics through several selectable drive modes:

• Eco – optimizes engine and climate control responses for maximum efficiency.
• Normal – a balanced setting suitable for everyday driving.
• Sport – sharper throttle response, higher transmission shift points, and reduced EPS intervention.

The interior has been designed with a focus on ergonomics and craftsmanship. Sport-contoured front seats provide excellent lateral support and long-distance comfort. Standard equipment on the IS 350 AWD F SPORT Design includes 8-way power-adjustable heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, Smart Key keyless entry, push-button start, an power tilt-and-slide moonroof, and power-folding heated exterior mirrors. High-quality materials, carefully crafted details, and signature Japanese precision create an environment that feels both premium and timeless.

The vehicle is equipped with the latest Lexus Interface system featuring a central 12.3-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, Drive Connect navigation services, wireless smartphone charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB-C ports for both front and rear passengers. Interior audio is provided by the Lexus Premium Sound 10-speaker audio system, delivering clear and balanced sound throughout the cabin.

The exterior of the F SPORT Design model stands out with its signature spindle grille, sharply sculpted body lines, and full LED lighting. Aerodynamically styled bumpers, sport side skirts, and black sport wheels enhance its dynamic appearance. Standard equipment also includes the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite, featuring a range of advanced driver assistance technologies. These include the Pre-Collision System (PCS) with detection of vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, along with automatic emergency braking, Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) for support in urban driving, cornering, and when approaching slower vehicles, and Road Sign Assist (RSA), which recognizes traffic signs and displays them in the instrument cluster.

The Lexus IS 350 AWD F SPORT Design represents one of the few vehicles on the market that combines a traditional naturally aspirated V6 engine, all-wheel drive, and premium comfort in an elegant sport sedan.
