After eight model years into its third production cycle, the Lexus IS finally gets a significant refresh as it enters the 2021 model year. The suspension is stiffer for a more exciting driving feel, the Remote Touch controller is now standard, Amazon Alexa connectivity is added for voice-command ability, and the IS includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. Also, the F Sport, which is the higher-performance and more sports-oriented variant of the nameplate, is now only available on the upper-level IS 350 trim.
