What to Weigh Before Buying

Start with the IS 300’s one-trim structure, since the model is offered in a single trim rather than a range of trim choices. Its 255-horsepower V6, all-wheel drive, six-speed automatic transmission, and 6.1-second 0-60 time establish a performance-oriented profile.

Fuel planning is also important: premium unleaded is required, and EPA ratings are 19 city / 26 highway MPG. Consider how the 10.8-cubic-foot trunk, 17.4-gallon fuel capacity, 3,737-pound curb weight, and sedan dimensions fit daily commuting, passengers, and cargo needs.
