2022 Lexus IS 300

Both small luxury sedans share similar pricing, lots of standard features, and similar levels of performance and fuel efficiency. However, the TLX has a larger standard touchscreen and optional features that the IS 300 doesn't offer such as a head-up display, an adaptive suspension and heated rear seats. The TLX also has a more modern-looking interior and has the advantage in tech thanks to its 2021 redesign.

Base engines in both sedans have similar power, but the S60's is significantly more fuel-efficient. The Volvo also offers an optional plug-in hybrid powertrain. Unlike the IS 300, the S60 comes standard with a panoramic sunroof and a digital instrument panel, but adaptive cruise control is optional, a standard feature on the IS 300. As with any Volvo, the seats are very comfortable, and the S60's rear seats are larger than the IS 300's.

These rivals have similar starting prices, similar base engines, and are loaded with plenty of standard features, but the G70 offers a potent turbocharged V6. It also comes with a larger standard touchscreen and a few additional safety features. Certain tech features, such as a blind-spot view monitor and a wireless charging pad, aren't offered in the IS 300. But the IS 300's comfortable and quiet cabin is hard to top.
