NHTSA Vehicle Tested:2018 Lexus IS300 4 DR RWD

2018 Lexus IS 300

The 2018 Lexus IS 300 offers a compelling blend of sporty handling, luxurious comfort, and renowned Lexus reliability, making it a strong contender in the compact luxury sedan segment. Aimed at buyers seeking an engaging driving experience without compromising on refinement, the IS 300 delivers a sophisticated package with a focus on driver engagement and premium appointments.

Highlights

  • Powertrain: The 2018 IS 300 is powered by a potent 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated V6 provides smooth and responsive acceleration, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available as an option, enhancing traction and capability in various driving conditions.
  • Safety Features: Lexus is synonymous with safety, and the 2018 IS 300 is no exception. Standard across all trims is the Lexus Safety System+, a comprehensive suite of active safety technologies designed to prevent or mitigate collisions:
    • Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection: Uses a combination of radar and camera systems to detect potential frontal collisions with vehicles and pedestrians. If a potential impact is detected, it can automatically apply the brakes.
    • High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically slowing down and speeding up as needed.
    • Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with Steering Assist: Monitors lane markings and can provide audible or haptic alerts if the vehicle drifts out of its lane. Steering assist can gently nudge the vehicle back into its lane.
    • Intelligent High Beams (IHB): Automatically switches between high and low beams based on ambient light and the presence of other vehicles, improving visibility without dazzling other drivers.
  • Trim Summary: The 2018 Lexus IS 300 is primarily offered in one core trim, with variations primarily based on drivetrain and option packages.
    • IS 300: This is the foundational offering, featuring the 3.5L V6 engine. Buyers can choose between standard rear-wheel drive or the available all-wheel drive system. Numerous optional packages allow for personalization of luxury, technology, and sport-oriented features.
  • Other Notable Aspects:
    • Engaging Driving Dynamics: The IS 300 is praised for its well-balanced chassis, precise steering, and comfortable yet athletic ride quality, making it enjoyable to drive on winding roads.
    • Premium Interior: The cabin is a hallmark of Lexus, featuring high-quality materials, comfortable and supportive seating, and an intuitive layout. The driver-focused cockpit is designed for ease of use and enjoyment.
    • User-Friendly Infotainment: While not the most cutting-edge by modern standards, the Lexus Enform infotainment system, controlled via the Remote Touch interface, is generally straightforward to operate, offering essential connectivity and entertainment features.

What to Expect

Owning a 2018 Lexus IS 300 generally translates to a predictable and positive ownership experience, characterized by the brand's reputation for reliability and quality. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations, will be standard for a luxury sedan. Lexus vehicles are known for their durability, so you can expect fewer unexpected repairs compared to many competitors. Insurance costs will likely be in line with other compact luxury sedans, influenced by factors like your driving record, location, and chosen coverage. Many owners find that Lexus vehicles hold their value well over time due to their strong resale appeal.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Lexus IS 300 is a well-rounded luxury sedan, there are a few areas where buyers might find it less competitive or have specific preferences:

  • Infotainment Interface: The Remote Touch interface, while ergonomic for some, can be a point of contention for others. Its mouse-like operation can be less intuitive and more distracting for some drivers compared to touchscreen interfaces found in newer vehicles.
  • Rear Seat Space: The rear seating area in the IS 300 is adequate for two adults but can feel a bit cramped for taller passengers, especially on longer journeys. The sloping roofline and the transmission tunnel for the AWD models can further limit perceived space.
  • Fuel Economy: While the V6 engine provides good performance, its fuel economy figures are not class-leading, especially when compared to turbocharged four-cylinder engines offered by some competitors in the same segment.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Lexus IS 300 stands out as a refined and reliable compact luxury sedan that offers an engaging driving experience. Its potent V6 engine, comprehensive suite of standard safety features, and premium interior make it an attractive option for buyers prioritizing comfort, technology, and a sporty yet sophisticated demeanor. Despite a slightly dated infotainment system and less generous rear-seat space than some rivals, the IS 300 remains a compelling choice for those seeking a well-built and enjoyable luxury car.
