How Lexus Structures the IS Lineup

The 2026 Lexus IS is available in 2 trims: 350 F SPORT Design, 350 F SPORT. The 350 F SPORT Design is the entry point, and the 350 F SPORT sits at the top of the range. All trims share the same platform and core engineering. What changes between them is features, comfort, and in some cases wheels and appearance.

Adjacent trims usually differ in tech and convenience features. Bigger jumps often include powertrain or capability changes. If you're still deciding between models, see the full Lexus hub. If you're not sure which trim level to target, our how to pick a trim guide and packages vs. trims breakdown can help.
