2017 Lexus IS 200t F Sport

For 2017, the IS 200t receives a mild cosmetic face-lift from the previous 2016 Lexus IS 200t model, including larger air intakes in the bumper, new LED headlamps and grille. At the back are revised taillights and exhaust tips. It also gets last year's optional suite of driver assistance safety features as standard equipment and minor interior style and control revisions and a larger display screen for the optional navigation system.

All IS 200t sedans are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (241 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque) and drive the rear wheels solely through an eight-speed automatic transmission. (All-wheel drive is available via the V6-powered IS 300, reviewed separately.) A variety of option packages include some desirable features, but it helps to be decisive about which features you truly want because some of them are available in multiple packages or as standalone selections.
