Hello and welcome to CarConfections! Today we are taking a very detailed look at the 2014 Lexus IS350 AWD F-Sport. In this Full Review we will be looking at the performance data, distinct styling cues, interior technology, and cargo capacity.
The completely redesigned IS has a host of changes including the new integrated spindle grille which brings it in line with other Lexus models. Another change is the separated LED daytime running lights called "arrowheads". The two of these add up to make the front fascia very sporty and aggressive. If you opt for the F-Sport model, the front grille gets even more treatment by adding a black mesh grille. The changes do not just affect the front end; they sweep back through a large aggressive body line and seamlessly go into the signature Lexus L shaped taillights. The interior is as radical of a departure as the exterior, and features Lexus's new horizontal layout. This new interior includes a sank in 7" screen, analog clock, and electrostatic climate control switches. If you get the F-Sport like we have here, the regular speedometer is replaced with the Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT). The screen is customizable and is derived from the Lexus LFA supercar. The 2014 IS is also larger than last years model, thanks to a 3 inch wheelbase stretch. Overall this adds up to make the Lexus IS a much more appealing car inside and out. It combines all the features that people want in a compact sports sedan with the luxury and quality that Lexus is known for.
