The 2026 Lexus IS 350 AWD is finally here, and Lexus may have done something surprising—they changed just enough while keeping everything enthusiasts already love.
Under the hood is the same naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 paired with all-wheel drive, but the exterior gets Lexus’ latest design language and the interior receives a major technology upgrade. The question is simple: did Lexus improve the formula, or should they have left it alone?
In this review, we take a detailed look at the refreshed IS 350 inside and out, go over the biggest changes for 2026, and find out whether this remains one of the best luxury sport sedan daily drivers you can buy.
