2023 IS Exterior
The Lexus IS could never be described as a conservative car, and the 2021 facelift added even more character to this compact luxury sedan. In front, there are slim bi-LED headlights with daytime running lamps that flank an even larger spindle grille with a three-dimensional, polyhedral pattern. All versions have LED taillights with a blade-style rear light bar that spans the width of the body. On the base vehicle, there are 18-inch alloy wheels, while the F Sport derivatives have 19-inch alloys with a dark metallic finish (or optional black 19-inch split-seven-spoke BBS alloys). All F Sport trims come with a sporty F Sport exterior appearance package with more aggressive bumpers, a black grille surround, and a trunklid spoiler. Premium triple-beam LED headlights are available on some trims, as is a carbon fiber rear spoiler on the F Sports. A power tilting/sliding sunroof is available on all trims but standard on none. Only 480 of the F Sport Appearance package will be available, decking out the car in Incognito paint and rendering the roof and hood Obsidian Black.

Exterior Colors
The base model Lexus IS is offered in a choice of seven colors. Those that won't add anything to the final bill are Atomic Silver, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, and Grecian Water. For $500 extra, Eminent White Pearl, Iridium, and Cloudburst Gray are availed. The F Sport Design and F Sport versions deviate by dropping Eminent White Pearl and Matador Red Mica, but this trim does add Ultra White ($500), Infrared ($595), and Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 ($595). Just 480 F Sport Appearance packages will be made available with the car painted in exclusive Incognito paint and the roof and hood finished in Obsidian Black.
