CarGurus Analysis: 2025 Lexus IS

Summary
With 80 currently listed for sale near San Bernardino, CA and an average price of $46,049.00, 41.3% of 2025 Lexus IS models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
100.0% 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, and its comparatively low price point and compact proportions help explain why it appeals to younger buyers. It also has a broad performance history, having been sold over the years as a wagon, a convertible, and with a high-performance V8, which gives the nameplate a wider personality than many rivals.
For 2025, the IS sits in the third generation and benefits from the updates that arrived for the 2021 model year, 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 features include a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system, an F Sport Package, 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 its easy-to-use technology, but it is also noted for having not much 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 character and modern tech, while accepting that it is not the roomiest or most efficient choice.

Prices have softened 3.30% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 947 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.
If you find a listing below $45,710.81, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
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, and it appeals especially if you want an entry-level Lexus with compact proportions and a sporty personality. It also brings modern tech and standard safety equipment, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a touchscreen display, and Lexus Safety System+ features such as automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane-trace assist.
Its strengths are balanced by familiar compromises: it is fun to drive and easy to use, but it does not offer much cargo space, the back seat is cramped, and fuel economy is poor. That makes it a strong fit if you value style, tech, and driving feel more than passenger room or efficiency.
31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.
Is the 2025 Lexus IS reliable?
The 2025 Lexus IS is presented as a compact luxury sports sedan with a long-running reputation for quality and a straightforward, easy-to-use feature set. It also benefits from standard advanced safety equipment and a mature third-generation design that has already been updated.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about complexity and more about whether the specific car has been maintained well and lived an easy life, since sporty luxury sedans can vary a lot in how they were driven and cared for.
What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Lexus IS?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still check the report carefully, because even a clean-looking listing can hide prior damage or inconsistent ownership history. Put the inspection focus on overall condition, especially signs of wear that matter on a sporty luxury sedan, and make sure the car’s tech, interior features, and driving feel all match the seller’s description.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Lexus IS?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently while still being ready to move on a strong listing.
- Deal availability: 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 947 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.30% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 89.5% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $45,710.81, 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 $46,057 sits slightly below last year's $47,627.
That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy with less pressure today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may be more sensitive to condition, mileage, and equipment than to broad market momentum alone. If you keep the car clean, well maintained, and documented, you should be in a better position when it is time to sell.
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:
- 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.30% compared with last year.
Consider the 2026 if:
- It adds a redesigned exterior and a larger, more modern digital cabin.
The bottom line: The 2025 is the better path if you want a sporty compact luxury sedan with a softer market and plenty of listings to compare. If you are more focused on the newest styling and cabin tech, the 2026 is the stronger alternative, but price-sensitive buyers should keep the 2025 on the shortlist.
