The 2026 Lexus IS arrives at Temecula Valley Lexus with a focused refresh. Lexus simplified the lineup this year, dropping the four-cylinder IS 300 and the V8-powered IS 500 — every 2026 IS is now an IS 350 powered by a 3.5-liter V6 producing 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The result is a cleaner, sportier compact luxury sedan that’s easier to shop and built around a single proven engine.

The 2026 refresh focuses on three areas:
The 2026 IS is offered in three F SPORT-tuned trims, all rear-wheel drive standard with available all-wheel drive:
| Trim | Starting MSRP¹ | Drivetrain | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS 350 F SPORT Design RWD | $46,795 | RWD | 8-speed automatic |
| IS 350 F SPORT Design AWD | $48,795 | AWD | 6-speed automatic |
| IS 350 F SPORT RWD | $49,245 | RWD | 8-speed automatic |

Every 2026 IS uses the same 3.5-liter V6 making 311 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. RWD models pair the V6 with an eight-speed Sport Direct Shift automatic; AWD models use a six-speed automatic. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 20 city / 28 highway / 23 combined for RWD models and 19 city / 26 highway / 22 combined for AWD models.²
