The 2016 Lexus IS is available in three models: the IS 200t, the IS 300 AWD, and the IS 350. The former IS 250 and IS 250 AWD have been discontinued. With three potential powertrain options - rear-wheel drive (RWD), all-weather drive (AWD), and F SPORT variants - drivers will have a hard time deciding which IS to take home.
The IS 200t, available as a RWD only, is powered by a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This engine produces 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,650-4,400 rpm. Lexus developed the turbocharged unit in-house, first integrating it into the NX luxury utility hybrid for the 2015 model year before modifying it for the IS 200t.
The D-4ST direct injection system combines a high pressure fuel system for injection directly in to the cylinders with a low pressure system for injection into the ports. Better fuel economy is achieved thanks to the flexible Variable Valve Timing intelligent - Wide (VVTi-W) which allows the engine to switch between the Otto and Atkinson cycles and the split between the direct and port injectors.
