Used 2022 Lexus IS 500 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

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:

IS 500 F Sport Performance
The base trim includes:

  • 19-inch wheels with performance tires
  • Quad exhaust tips
  • Adaptive sport suspension
  • LED headlights
  • Auto-dimming and heated outside mirrors
  • Sunroof

  • 8-inch touchscreen display
  • 10-speaker Pioneer audio system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • 8-inch digital instrument panel display
  • Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking

The base trim also includes these advanced driver aids:

  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the IS 500 and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

IS 500 F Sport Performance Premium
Stepping up to the higher trim adds:

  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • 10.3-inch touchscreen display
  • Navigation system
  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the IS 500 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Power rear sunshade

IS 500 F Sport Performance Launch Edition
The limited-production Launch Edition adds:

  • Upgraded 19-inch wheels
  • Black and gray imitation suede upholstery
  • Launch Edition interior badge

The 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance does not offer any optional packages or stand-alone options.

Which IS 500 trim 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.
