Lexus has revealed a new Special Appearance Package for the 2027 IS 350 F SPORT with only 350 examples earmarked for North America.

Exterior: A New Shade of Green

The headline feature is a new exterior color Lexus is calling “Envious,” a striking green that has not been available on any Lexus before. It is paired with new 19-inch black BBS forged alloy wheels, giving the package a more aggressive, blacked-out stance compared the standard F SPORT wheel design.

Triple Beam LED headlamps come standard as well, rounding out a unique exterior look that clearly stands apart from the rest of the IS lineup.

Interior: Green Stitching Throughout

Inside, the Special Appearance Package carries the green theme from the exterior into the cabin. F SPORT seats are trimmed in perforated NuLuxe with Ultrasuede inserts and finished with green stitching that echoes the Envious paint outside. Satin chrome trim accents add a bit of extra shine to the cabin, while a power rear sunshade and Panoramic View Monitor come standard.

Standard Packages: Handling and Technology Included

Rather than treating this as a purely cosmetic package, Lexus is bundling hardware that IS enthusiasts will actually care about. The Handling Package is standard equipment, bringing a sport-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential on RWD models, and Drive Mode Select with five modes – ECO, Normal, Sport S, Sport S+, and Custom. The Technology Package is also included, adding Traffic Jam Assist capability, Lane Change Assist, and Front Cross-Traffic Alert.

Power comes from the familiar 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6, making 311 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque.

Buyers can choose RWD, paired with an eight-speed automatic, or AWD, paired with a six-speed automatic. Other standard equipment includes a moonroof, Intuitive Parking Assist, Mark Levinson audio, and a Smart Access Key Card.

Pricing and Availability

Lexus hasn’t announced pricing yet, but the 2027 IS Special Appearance Package is expected to arrive at dealerships later this year. With only 350 units coming to North America, this is limited-edition IS won’t likely sit on lots for long.
