Japanese magazine Best Car is reporting that the fourth-generation Lexus IS sedan will debut in 2025 with a battery-electric powertrain and aimed squarely at the Tesla Model 3.
Lexus had originally scheduled the next-gen IS this year, but pushed the release forward to 2025 in order to accommodate the brand’s decision to go full-electric-only. Details are speculative, but Best Car claims the new IS will be available with a choice of RWD & AWD and “different motor output and cruising range”, opening the door for a possible return of the IS F (albeit in EV form).
