CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Lexus IS
overall
Summary
With 520 currently listed for sale and an average price of $35,304.00, 32.5% of 2021 Lexus IS models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Lexus IS 4.62 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.33 / 10.
74.0% of 2021 Lexus IS models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Lexus IS stands out as a compact luxury sports sedan that leans hard into style and driving enjoyment. Lexus describes it as entering its fourth generation and drawing lessons from the LC and RC, while also aiming at enthusiast drivers and luxury buyers who might otherwise think German first. That positioning gives the car a clear identity: it is meant to feel more expressive and more driver-focused than a typical small luxury sedan.
Its strongest appeal comes from the combination of stylish design, multiple powertrain options, and great handling. Those traits make it attractive to buyers who want a premium sedan with a sporty edge rather than a purely comfort-oriented commute car. At the same time, the 2021 Lexus IS is not without compromises, and the reported drawbacks include an underwhelming base engine, an irritating transmission, and outdated technology. Owner feedback generally reinforces the car’s style, sporty feel, and luxurious character, while also pointing to missing modern tech features and concerns about fuel efficiency with the smaller engine option.

Great car, stylish, good value, sporty, and gorgeous to look at. I love the safety and security features. Remote start and speed settings in the app are great features. Missing- GPS tracking in real-time would be great like Tesla vehicles.

This really has a sporty feel. The AWD, 3.5 Liter V6 is definitely the way to go on this vehicle. The Apple Car Play is incredible and makes the GPS option unnecessary. The gauge cluster looks modern and easy to use. The 360 degree cameras are also a great option. The exterior look of this car is beautiful. I have the matador red which is metallic red with the black 19” wheel rims. Very stylish. A very nice riding car.

Im a bit partial because mine has every option available. The premium sound package is worth every penny. I hear its bad on gas. I have the AWD V6 which is plenty fast, so I drive it in eco full time. I get 100 miles on 15 dollars of gas @ 3.30 a gallon. Thats bad? Brakes in this car are amazing. They work along with the computer downshifting on hills perfectly. Anyone who has driven a standard before will notice it too. Its just great stock ecu tuning. Not to mention the brakes act in unison with the AWD. The car does not move in the snow (in a good way). Meaning there is no slipping, sliding or the car trying to get traction. It just goes. Also, thanks to the amazing braking system, there is also no real type of sliding when slowing down or stopping. I live in New England, so my car has seen weather of all types. Bad weather is a non factor. With all that being said, I also have snow tires. Which doesnt hurt and helps tremendously. Fun fact, the snow mode also works great during heavy rain.. just a fyi. Lets see. Its quiet, comfortable and the touch screen is perfect. The body lines are also spot on. There is ZERO wind noise. It looks like it spent a lot of time wind tunnel tested. I personally love the lines of the car and the daytime running lights are the best.. hands down. The back Robocop style taillight has been copied by many. The subtle red on the leds nail it. Not to mention the subtilties of just light things. A lot of attention to detail. Lexus listened to its consumers and said we hear you and well work on that. Which, honestly, you have to appreciate. Great car.. Thank you Lexus.
