Lexus IS300 2021

FROM
$41,580

The 2021 Lexus IS300 range of configurations is currently priced from $41,990.

Our most recent review of the 2021 Lexus IS300 resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The new IS is a lot like the old one because it, uh, is. But there's a lot of new stuff onboard and a much fresher face on what was already a good car. It would be nice if the transmission went back to the way it was and perhaps the IS would be more competitive with a bit more space in the back, but you can't get away from just how nice a car it is. A rough and tumble kind of family might struggle a bit because you don't want to ruin the nice leather, but the quality is absolutely rock-solid, it's not outrageously expensive and nobody hates their Lexus.

Lexus IS300 2021 Accessories

There's no range of accessories per se for the Lexus IS, but you can option the Enhancement Packs on Luxury and F Sport grades, which add a number of additional items. And you can also choose the interior colour you want, depending on the exterior paint you choose. The three interior colour options include black, dark rose (red) or ochre (brown/tan).

Shown above are the accessory details for the Lexus IS300 2021.

Lexus IS300 2021 Interior

It hasn't changed as much as it should have. The brand has been pretty reserved with the enhancements in the cabin, though the new 10.3-inch touchscreen - which now sits 15cm closer - is finally equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Still no wireless charging, no USB-C charging, and no head-up display. It's looking and feeling its age in here, and the back seat space and storage could be better too.

Wheel size for the 2021 Lexus IS300 will vary depending on model chosen, although keep in mind that many manufacturers offer alternate wheel sizes as options on many models. The wheel size available will alter the range of tyres available to be fitted.

Lexus IS300 2021 Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption for the 2021 Lexus IS300 is dependent on the type of engine, transmission, or model chosen. The Lexus IS300 currently offers fuel consumption from 8.2L/100km.

Lexus IS300 2021 Speed

We asked Lexus Australia for 0-100km/h sprint times for the new-look Lexus IS, but the company said it doesn't have them. The IS350 would be quickest of the three, though.

Lexus IS300 2021 Seats

There are five seats in the Lexus IS, but only the F Sport models get full leather trim. The others are fake leather. That's cool in an eco-way, but maybe you really want cow hide. The fifth seat - the middle rear - is largely theoretical, too, as the back is pretty tight.

Lexus IS300 2021 Towing Capacity

The 2021 Lexus IS300 has no towing capacity for the selected year. Some models also offer heavy-duty or towing option packs which can increase towing capacity, as well as options which can hamper towing capacity.

Always check with the manufacturer or in your vehicles handbook before attempting to tow anything.
