2025 Lexus IS 500 Review // The V8 Time Capsule

The 2025 Lexus IS 500 ($76,840 starting in Canada, $59,520 starting in the US) is a luxury performance sedan with a raucous V8 engine. It makes 472 naturally aspirated horsepower and 395 lb ft of torque. The IS 500 looks to offer both tech and performance, with features like a Mark Levinson sound system and a Torsen LSD with a dynamic handling package. The spec we have today includes a special appearance package ($3,570 CAD) that adds a unique yellow paint, new BBS wheels and some other aesthetic bits. But how does it drive? And how does it compare to its fierce competition? Thomas is excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!
