The Lexus IS gets a bit of an exterior makeover for 2017. The biggest change is to the front fascia which features updated headlights, grill and bumper. The rear has also been updated with new taillight reflectors and a new exhaust. The change is relatively subtle, but the 2017 IS manages to look sharper and more athletic with the redesign.

The mid-size performance sedan segment is a popular place, but the Lexus IS sedan more than holds its own among the offerings from Infiniti, BMW and Cadillac. With impressive powertrains for 2017, top-to-bottom refinement, and Lexus' unbeatable build quality, the IS remains an undeniably appealing choice among driver's cars.
