The new IS will come standard with HID headlamps, LED daytime running lights, Drive Mode Select, paddle shifters, a dual zone climate control system, color 4.2″ multi-information display and 10 airbags — all in all, over $1,400 in previously optional equipment has been made standard.
There will be three option packages across the full line, here’s the first two:

The F SPORT package is a little more complex — all F SPORT models will come with the full-mesh grille and front bumper, LED headlamps, 18” split 5-spoke wheels, front sport seats, sport-tuned suspension, and feature the center-mounted tachometer with moving bezel adopted directly from the LFA. However, only the two IS 350 RWD F SPORT models are equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) and Sport S+ drive mode. This leads to four different prices for the package:
