byMichael Cantu^{Correspondent

Pros

Smooth and excellent-sounding non-turbo V8
Confident and nimble handling
Comfortable seats and ride quality
Lots of standard driver aids

Cons

Tight rear seats
Limited storage and cargo space
All-wheel drive isn't offered

What's new

New V8-powered version of the IS
Larger brakes and IS 350's Dynamic Handling package are standard
New Launch Edition model limited to 500 units
Part of the third Lexus IS generation introduced for 2014

The 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance is all-new and the top-performing model in the IS lineup. It's a V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive small luxury sedan that's great for someone looking for a capable and comfortable sport sedan. Its non-turbo V8 is the same one found in the LC 500 and RC F coupes and it cranks out a stout 472 horsepower. Lexus also fitted the IS 500 with sport-tuned adaptive suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, larger brakes, and 19-inch Enkei wheels fitted with performance tires to boost the car's performance.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.62 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

$204/mo

Avg. Midsize Car

Getting a V8 in a small sedan is a rare treat these days, and it sounds amazing. Alas, there's more glory in the sound than actual performance. And at Edmunds' test track, our test IS 500 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. That's a little better than most four- or six-cylinder-powered luxury sedans but off the pace of full-on performance sedans such as the BMW M3 (4.1 seconds) or Audi RS 5 (3.7 seconds).

On the upside, the IS 500's adaptive suspension makes it capable and poised around corners while also delivering a comfortable ride. And as with the other IS models, the IS 500's interior is full of upscale materials that really drive home the impression of luxury. The front seats are very supportive and comfortable for a wide range of body types. Lexus also loads the IS 500 up with plenty of standard luxury and technology features.

Overall we're fond of the new 2022 IS 500. This isn't a full-on sport sedan, so you'll need to look elsewhere for the best performance. But the charm of the V8's boisterous exhaust note helps make up for the ho-hum acceleration, and all around the IS 500 provides a pleasing mix of performance, comfort and luxury.

Which IS 500 does Edmunds recommend?

Opting for the Premium over the base IS 500 F Sport Performance is our recommendation. The higher trim gets you a larger touchscreen, a 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, a surround-view camera and upgraded LED headlights.

Lexus IS 500 models

The 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance is available in three trim levels: base, Premium and Launch Edition. The small luxury sedan is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 that makes 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Feature highlights include:

The base trim includes:

19-inch wheels with performance tires

DLP Tony, 03/08/2022

F SPORT Performance Premium 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)

I put down a deposit on February 24th, 2021 and finally picked up my IS 500 Premium on March 4th, 2022. This is my 5th Lexus and it is by far the best! It is kind of like my 2016 IS 350 FSport, just turned up. 1. The quickness is amazing. 2. At highway speeds the IS 500 returned 25mpg. My IS 350 returned 28mpg. 3. Do NOT pay over MSRP! Be patient.

F SPORT Performance Launch Edition 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)

When I think of a car manufacturer using the word, "performance" with a car, terms like, "canyon carver, track missile, tire shredder" come to mind...that's not the case with this car. Lexus is using performance to distinguish it from the rest of its lineup. It's hard to compare the IS500 to another performance vehicle from a different brand, because it will fall short.

F SPORT Performance Premium 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)

The sound of the v8 is incredible and I love the way the car drives. However, there’s definitely a manufacturing defect. Multiple reports of IS 500 check engine lights. Some buyers have been dealing with this for weeks. I’d wait until the kinks are worked out before spending the money on one. Unfortunately, this has led to pretty serious buyers remorse. UPDATE: check engine light was …

Lexus IS 500 vs. the competition

2022 Audi S4

Lexus IS 500 vs. Audi S4

The IS 500 and S4 offer a nice balance of handling and comfort. Their luxurious interiors have impressive build quality, though they aren't the most modern-looking. The V8 in the IS 500 packs more power than the S4's turbocharged V6, but the S4 was quicker to 60 mph in Edmunds' testing. Most advanced driver aids are optional in the S4 but come standard in the IS 500.

Lexus IS 500 vs. BMW 3 Series

The BMW M340i is one notch below the M3 and rivals the IS 500. It hits 60 mph quicker than the Lexus, but it has a stiffer ride and the sound of its engine doesn't compare to the IS 500's roaring V8. Unlike the IS 500, the M340i is also available with all-wheel drive. Neither sedan has much of an advantage in tech, though the IS 500 comes with more standard advanced driver aids.

Compare Lexus IS 500 & BMW 3 Series features

Lexus IS 500 vs. Acura TLX

The IS 500 and TLX Type S are range-topping models of their respective lineups. Each offers a good mix of comfort and agility. The TLX Type S is only available with all-wheel drive while the IS 500 is rear-wheel-drive only. Surprisingly, fuel economy is almost identical, even though the IS 500's V8 is much more powerful. Thanks to a recent redesign, the TLX has the edge in tech and in interior design.

2022 Lexus IS 500 First Impressions

byRex Tokeshi-Torres

•02/22/2021 (updated 9/10/2021)

What is the IS 500?

The third-generation Lexus IS has been on sale for nearly a decade, making it by far the oldest vehicle in the small luxury sedan class. Before it fully redesigns its entry-level sedan, however, Lexus is giving the IS a proper send-off by fitting it with the V8 that also gives life to the RC F coupe and GS F midsize sedan. Officially, this new model is called the 2022 IS 500 F Sport Performance. Besides the V8, the IS 500 gains some additional performance hardware that's otherwise optional on the IS 350, plus a few other goodies to make the most of its ample power.

Performance enthusiasts with a decent memory might remember that Lexus offered a V8-powered version of the previous-generation IS too. That was the 2008-2014 IS F. This 2022 IS 500 is the first time a V8 finds its way into the current-gen IS.

How does the IS 500 drive?

At its core, the 2022 Lexus IS 500 is a comfortable and stylish sport sedan powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. It's a rare combination since most competitors use turbocharged engines these days. The moment you turn on the ignition and hear the V8 roar to life is enjoyable, and putting the throttle down becomes habit-forming because it sounds so glorious.

Alas, there's more glory in the sound than actual performance. The V8 is rated for a competitive 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. And at Edmunds' test track, our test IS 500 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. That's a little better than most four- or six-cylinder-powered luxury sedans but off the pace of full-on performance sedans such as the BMW M3 (4.1 seconds) or Mercedes-AMG C 63 (3.9 seconds). On the upside, the V8 is supremely smooth. When you're not on the gas, it is as quiet and easygoing as the rest of the IS line.

With all this talk about the engine and horsepower, it becomes easy to forget that the IS 500 is quite capable on twisty roads as well. The IS chassis is tuned for sporty handling but it also has adaptive dampers, so it's good at softening out rough roads as well as helping you carve around corners. The Torsen limited-slip rear differential, which is part of the V6-powered IS 350's Dynamic Handling package, also helps the IS 500 harness the extra power through the twisties by providing the grip necessary to feel planted and secure.

Stopping power in the IS 500 is also upgraded compared to the IS 350 thanks to upsized brakes. In our testing, the IS 500 stopped from 60 mph in 107 feet. That's good for a luxury sedan but not up to full performance sedan standards.

How comfortable is the IS 500?

The IS 500's ride is comfortable overall. However, you can dial in a bit more stiffness for more aggressive driving thanks to the different drive modes. The adaptive suspension helps to tune out a lot of road imperfections but you're also reminded that this is a sport sedan with a firmer suspension every now and then. Front passengers will like the roominess, while rear passengers may be left wanting a little more space.

How's the IS 500's interior?

While the IS 500 boasts a plethora of aerodynamic and visual improvements to the exterior, the cabin is pretty much identical to that of the IS 350's. The interior is replete with upscale materials and lacks hard plastics, which really drives home the impression of luxury. The front seats are very supportive and comfortable for a wide range of body types.

Small luxury sedans aren't known for their exceptional amount of interior room, and the IS feels tighter than most. The wide center console reduces shoulder space for those up front, and a low roof means tall passengers will struggle to find a comfortable position in the back seat.

How's the IS 500's tech?

Though primarily aimed at the sport sedan segment, the IS 500 comes with an array of driving aids designed to make the mundane moments less irksome. Standard features include forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, lane-centering assist and blind-spot monitoring. The adaptive cruise control system even has a nifty feature that accelerates the vehicle when you tap the turn signal in preparation for a pass.

The IS 500 does build on some tech updates Lexus implemented for 2021. For example, there's a touchpad controller for the infotainment system; it's marginally more effective than the previous mouse-like controller knob. The center display screen has touchscreen capability, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard.

What is the IS 500 Performance Launch Edition?

In one sense, it's grade A word salad, but in another, truer sense, it's a special trim introduced for the first year of production. Limited to just 500 units in the U.S., the Launch Edition receives a number of unique upgrades to set it apart from the standard IS 500. The standard Enkei wheels are swapped for a set of forged BBS wheels, while the cabin is treated to black and gray imitation suede covering the seats, door trim and center console. You also get a plaque denoting the production number and a special startup sequence in the digital instrument panel.

Edmunds says

It took Lexus long enough, but we're glad to finally be able to get a V8 in the current-generation IS. The charm of the V8's boisterous exhaust note helps make up for the relative lack of power compared to rival sport sedans.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Lexus IS 500?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
