CarGurus Analysis: 2025 Lexus IS

Summary
With 969 currently listed for sale and an average price of $45,776, 36.7% of 2025 Lexus IS models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
90.0% of 2025 Lexus IS models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2025 Lexus IS stands out as a compact luxury sports sedan that has long leaned into driving enjoyment. It is the entry-level model in the Lexus lineup, with compact proportions and a comparatively low price point that help make it appealing to younger buyers. Lexus also positions it as a car with a sporty character, and the model’s history includes a wide range of body styles and even a high-performance V8, which underscores how broad its personality has been over time.
For 2025, the IS sits in the third generation and benefits from the 2021 refresh’s major tech update, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a touchscreen display, and standard Lexus Safety System+ with features such as automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane-trace assist. Standard equipment also includes NuLuxe synthetic leather seats, an eight-inch infotainment screen, passive entry, push-button start, dual automatic climate controls, and 18-inch wheels. Available upgrades include a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system, a power moonroof, and a 10.3-inch infotainment screen with navigation.
Its strengths are balanced by some familiar compromises. The IS is praised for being fun to drive and for offering easy-to-use technology and standard advanced safety features, but it is also noted for limited cargo space, cramped back seats, and poor fuel economy. That mix makes the 2025 Lexus IS especially appealing to buyers who want a compact luxury sedan with a sporty feel and modern features, while accepting that it is not the most practical choice for passengers or cargo.

Is the 2025 Lexus IS a good car?
The 2025 Lexus IS stands out as a compact luxury sports sedan that leans into driving enjoyment, with compact proportions and a comparatively low price point that can make it appealing if you want a sporty entry-level luxury car. It also brings modern tech and standard advanced safety features, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a touchscreen display, and Lexus Safety System+.
That said, the same overview points to tradeoffs you should weigh carefully: limited cargo space, cramped back seats, and poor fuel economy. If you want a compact luxury sedan that prioritizes fun, tech, and a sporty feel over everyday practicality, this model fits that use case well. 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2025 Lexus IS reliable?
The 2025 Lexus IS is presented as a compact luxury sports sedan with a strong emphasis on quality, modern features, and a long-running reputation for driving enjoyment. Its standard safety tech and straightforward feature set also support an ownership experience that should feel familiar and manageable.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about complexity and more about living with the car’s compromises over time, especially if you need space, efficiency, or rear-seat comfort.
What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Lexus IS?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus your inspection on overall condition, signs of prior damage, and whether the cabin, infotainment, and safety features all work as expected.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Lexus IS?
This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and deal activity to reward careful shopping.
- Deal availability: 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,000 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.41% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 90.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $45,632, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2025 Lexus IS's resale value?
The current average of $45,694 sits slightly below last year's $46,825.
That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy at a more favorable point if you plan to keep the car for several years. For a future seller, softer pricing today can mean less immediate upside, but it may also indicate a more stable entry point if you buy well. If you choose a clean, well-kept example, you’re more likely to preserve value than if you start with a car that’s already priced aggressively high.
Should I buy a 2025 Lexus IS or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2025 if:
- 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 2.41% compared with last year.
Consider the 2026 if:
- The 2026 adds updated digital tech, refreshed styling, and a more modern driving feel.
The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2025 if you want a sporty compact luxury sedan and value a softer market with plenty of clean listings to compare. If you’re more focused on the newest tech and a refreshed cabin, the 2026 is the better path, but price-sensitive buyers may find the 2025 easier to justify.
