2014 LEXUS IS
Expert Analysis
The Lexus IS has long been synonymous with understated elegance, but beneath its reserved demeanor lies a potent blend of performance, handling, and refinement that makes this luxury sedan an absolute joy to drive.
Our test vehicle, a 2014 Lexus IS 250, boasts the signature Toyota 2.5-liter V6 engine, which delivers a surprisingly potent 236 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. The result is a 0-60 mph sprint that's accomplished in just 7.1 seconds, making it more than capable of keeping pace with its German rivals. But it's not just about raw power - the IS also exhibits exceptional poise and balance, courtesy of its sport-tuned suspension and electronic stability control system.
Inside, the IS treats occupants to a sumptuous cabin replete with premium materials, attention to detail, and an intuitive infotainment interface. The driving experience is further enhanced by a host of features such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and blind spot monitoring. And yet, despite its many technological accoutrements, the IS remains an analog delight - one that rewards driver input with responsive handling and a sense of connection to the road that's all too rare in today's high-tech world.
