Lexus IS, a staple vehicle in the brand's lineup, may be discontinued due to an aging generation and evolving market preferences.
Introduced as Lexus' competitor to the BMW 3-Series, the Lexus IS has gone through three generations since its inception.
The latest generation, starting from 2014, includes models like IS 200t, IS 250, IS 350, and IS 500 F Sport Performance, but sales have declined significantly in recent years.
Reports suggest that the 2025 Lexus IS Ultimate Edition could be the farewell model, featuring a special IS 500 variant with unique design elements, hinting at a possible discontinuation of the model.
