Used 2022 Lexus IS 300 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2022 Lexus IS 300 is offered in two trim levels: IS 300 RWD and IS 300 AWD. Both come with the same standard features and options, and the difference lies underneath in the powertrain. The IS 300 RWD is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (241 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and is rear-wheel-drive. The IS 300 AWD comes equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 (260 hp, 236 lb-ft) mated to a six-speed automatic and is all-wheel-drive.
Which IS 300 trim does Edmunds recommend?
If all-wheel-drive traction isn't needed, we recommend opting for the more affordable IS 300 RWD. Its turbocharged engine is nearly as powerful as the IS 300 AWD's V6 and is more fuel-efficient. You also get an eight-speed automatic transmission instead of the six-speed that comes equipped in the AWD trim.
