In a segment moving toward smaller engines and electric drivetrains, the 2026 Lexus IS 500 F Sport stands its ground. It arrives with a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, offering 472 horsepower and a driving experience that feels more connected than most of its competitors.
This is not a track car disguised as a sedan. The IS 500 is designed for everyday driving with serious power under the hood. It delivers smooth acceleration, sharp handling, and a surprisingly refined ride. Rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission complete the setup, making it one of the few sport sedans that still delivers old-school performance with new-school polish.
Visually, it’s sharp without trying too hard. The wide stance and signature Lexus grille give it presence, while the cabin is clean and focused. You’ll find intuitive controls, premium materials, and enough tech to keep things modern without being distracting.
