The 2026 Lexus IS 350 AWD lineup continues to deliver the performance and precision that define Lexus sport sedans. For 2026, Lexus enhances its iconic IS with updated styling, expanded standard technology, and upgraded safety systems—while preserving the naturally aspirated V6 performance and dynamic handling that drivers expect.
For 2026, the IS 350 AWD is offered exclusively in F SPORT configurations, emphasizing its performance identity. The model receives exterior refinements, new wheel designs, expanded interior technology, and an upgrade to the latest Lexus Interface and Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. The core performance formula—rear-biased dynamic torque all-wheel drive paired with a V6 engine—remains unchanged.
This update matters because it strengthens the IS 350 AWD’s position as a true luxury sport sedan in an era increasingly dominated by turbocharged and electrified powertrains. For drivers who value naturally aspirated performance, balanced chassis tuning, and precise steering feel, the 2026 IS maintains its authentic driving character while adding modern convenience and safety upgrades.
Power comes from a 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6, producing 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed sport automatic transmission and Lexus dynamic torque AWD. For 2026, every grade now features a 12.3-inch multi-information display, multi-colour ambient cabin lighting, and a wireless charging dock. The upgraded Lexus Interface includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. All models now receive Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, adding enhanced driver-assist capabilities. Exterior updates include refreshed front styling, new wheel options, and expanded colour choices—including the new Wind exterior shade—while interior palettes now include new Palomino and Radiant Red options.
The 2026 Lexus IS 350 AWD appeals to performance-focused drivers, luxury sedan enthusiasts, and current IS owners considering an upgrade. With four grades—F SPORT Design, F SPORT 2, F SPORT 3, and the Special Appearance Package—buyers can choose varying levels of performance enhancement, technology, and exclusivity.
