Lexus IS
The IS compact sedan is another Lexus product that’s starting to get fairly old as the current generation was introduced for 2014. While we wait for a major redesign, the Black Line Edition is carried over for 2020. It is available with both the IS 300 AWD and IS 350 AWD, whose 3.5-litre V6 produces 260 and 311 horsepower, respectively. The other option is the base IS 300, featuring rear-wheel drive and a 241-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
