It's not easy to build a world-class sport sedan. Countless automakers have tried to find the right mix of smile-inducing performance and drive-all-day comfort -- and many have missed the mark. But not Lexus. The new 2025 Lexus IS, for sale in Michigan now, offers what its competitors don't: a just-right blend of backroads mastery and highway supremacy.
Helping put its performance in perspective is our 2025 Lexus IS vs. Acura TLX and Audi A4 comparison. After you review the below data, visit our Lexus dealer in Lansing today for your own IS review and test-drive. We think you'll agree that no one does the modern sport sedan better than Lexus.
2025 Lexus ISFeatures Comparison
Sport-inspired luxury cars like the new Lexus IS are built to indulge your every sense. Of course, some do it better than others -- and our comparison is a case in point.
Let's start with audio systems. A total of 17 expertly placed speakers through the IS interior are partly behind why the beloved LexusMark Levinson® sound system is such an aural delight; its fidelity and clarity will make you feel as if you're on stage with your favorite musicians. Don't expect this from the Audi A4 or Acura TLX stereos, neither of which boasts a system wearing the storied Mark Levinson® name.
Another key advantage held by the IS vs. its competition is its safety suite; many love the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 for its high-tech, potentially life-saving features. Of course, if you want even more than what's included in this standard package, check out optional Lexus safety features like Active Parking Assist -- a safer, easier way to park. You won't find anything similar in the A4 or TLX.

2025 Lexus ISEngine Specs Comparison
Few automakers let you truly have it your way these days. The Lexus IS, however, is a notable exception thanks to its three engine options and long list of trim levels. Compared to the practically no-choice Audi and Acura sedans, every Lexus IS in Lansing is a buffet of excellence.
One of our favorite options on the menu is the Lexus V8 engine making 472 horsepower. To put that figure in perspective, the A4 only musters 349 horsepower even in high-performance S4 guise, while the most athletic TLX trim can't generate more than 355 horsepower. Consider this further proof that Lexus IS deliversthe serious power and exceptional configurability that rivals can't.
