* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

  • Reliability (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    Lexus has a stellar reputation for reliability, and the 2019 IS 300 is expected to uphold this. Major mechanical issues are rare, contributing to peace of mind for owners.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are generally reasonable for a luxury brand, and Lexus dealerships are known for excellent service. Parts availability is good.
  • Technology (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system feels dated, especially with the remote touch interface which can be clunky and distracting to use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were not standard on the base model.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Lexus excels in comfort, and the IS 300 is no exception. The seats are supportive and plush, and the ride quality is smooth, absorbing most road imperfections effectively.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2019 IS 300 offers a competent but not particularly thrilling driving experience. Handling is predictable, but the steering lacks significant feedback compared to rivals.

2019 Lexus IS 300: A Detailed Overview

The 2019 Lexus IS 300 continues to be a compelling choice in the compact luxury sedan segment, offering a blend of sporty driving dynamics, refined comfort, and Lexus's renowned reliability. While it may not boast the absolute newest technology or the most potent engine in its class, it provides a well-rounded and enjoyable ownership experience for discerning buyers.

Highlights

  • Engine Options:
    • 2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4 (RWD): This engine delivers a spirited 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It provides a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency for everyday driving.
    • 3.5L V6 (AWD): This option offers a more robust 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission. While the horsepower figure is similar to the turbo-four, the V6 offers a smoother power delivery and the added benefit of all-wheel drive, which is ideal for various weather conditions.
  • Safety Features: The 2019 IS 300 comes equipped with a suite of advanced safety technologies designed to protect occupants and enhance awareness:
    • Lexus Safety System+: This comprehensive package is standard and includes:
      • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Uses a combination of cameras and radar to detect potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes if a collision is imminent.
      • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting to traffic flow.
      • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist: Alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane and can provide gentle steering input to keep it centered.
      • Intelligent High Beams: Automatically switches between high and low beams based on the presence of other vehicles.
    • Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (Optional/Part of Packages): Detects vehicles in the driver's blind spots and alerts them. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert warns of approaching vehicles when backing up.
    • Backup Camera: Standard for improved visibility when reversing.
  • Trim Summary:
    • IS 300: The foundational trim, offering a well-equipped luxury experience with the standard features and safety systems mentioned above.
    • IS 300 F SPORT: This trim enhances the sporty appeal and driving dynamics. It typically includes unique exterior styling elements (grille, bumpers, wheels), sport-tuned suspension, sport seats, and interior accents like a digital instrument cluster.
  • Notable Aspects:
    • Engaging Driving Dynamics: The IS 300, particularly with the F SPORT trim, offers a surprisingly agile and enjoyable driving experience. The chassis is well-balanced, providing confident handling through corners.
    • Premium Interior: Lexus interiors are known for their build quality and comfortable materials. The IS 300 features a driver-focused cockpit with intuitive controls and a premium feel.
    • Reliability: Lexus consistently ranks high in reliability surveys, and the IS 300 is no exception. This provides peace of mind for owners.
    • Infotainment System: The 2019 model features the Lexus Enform infotainment system with a 10.3-inch display. While functional, the Remote Touch controller can be an acquired taste for some.

What to Expect

The typical ownership experience of a 2019 Lexus IS 300 is characterized by smoothness, comfort, and reliability. Lexus prioritizes a refined ride, making it a pleasant car for daily commuting and longer journeys. The cabin is generally quiet, effectively insulating occupants from road and wind noise.

Maintenance is typically straightforward and predictable. Following the recommended service schedule outlined in the owner's manual will ensure the longevity of the vehicle. Common maintenance items include oil changes, tire rotations, and filter replacements. Lexus dealerships offer premium service, though independent mechanics specializing in luxury vehicles can also be a cost-effective option.

Insurance costs for the IS 300 are generally in line with other luxury sedans in its class. Factors like your driving record, location, and chosen coverage levels will influence the exact premium. Due to its safety features and luxury designation, insurance premiums might be slightly higher than non-luxury or less performance-oriented vehicles.

Potential Considerations

While the 2019 Lexus IS 300 is a strong contender, potential buyers should be aware of a few aspects:

  • Infotainment System Interface: The Remote Touch controller, used to navigate the infotainment system, can be polarizing. Some find it intuitive, while others find it distracting to use while driving compared to touchscreen interfaces found in some competitors.
  • Rear Seat Space: The rear seats are comfortable for two adults, but legroom can feel a bit cramped for taller passengers, especially on longer trips. This is a common characteristic of compact luxury sedans.
  • Trunk Space: The trunk capacity is adequate for daily needs and a few weekend bags, but it might not be the most spacious for those who frequently haul large items or luggage.
  • Engine Power (Turbo-Four): While the 2.0L turbo-four is competent, some may find its power delivery slightly less immediate than some rivals' turbocharged engines, particularly in the lower RPM range. The V6 offers a smoother, more linear power band.
  • Lack of Latest Connectivity Features: Compared to some newer competitors, the 2019 IS 300 might not offer the very latest in smartphone integration features or advanced driver-assistance systems that have become standard on newer models.

Overall Summary

The 2019 Lexus IS 300 stands out as a well-built, reliable, and enjoyable compact luxury sedan. It successfully blends a comfortable and premium interior with engaging driving dynamics, particularly when equipped with the F SPORT package. Its standard suite of advanced safety features and Lexus's reputation for dependability make it a sensible and reassuring choice for buyers seeking a refined and dependable luxury vehicle. While it may not boast the most cutting-edge technology or the most expansive interior space, its overall package offers a compelling proposition for those who value quality, comfort, and a touch of sportiness in their daily drive.
