It Lexus IS has a sharp modern style thanks to its refresh for the 2021 model year. It doesn’t stop Lexus from beautifying the look even further by adding a new look package for the 2023 IS lineup. The V-8-powered IS500 F Sport gets a striking new orange paint color called Molten Pearl, while the V-6-powered IS350 gets its own look package complete with a two-tone exterior.

There will only be 150 IS500 units built on the Molten Pearl, and the orange exterior is paired with 19-inch matte black BBS wheels and a black NuLuxe interior. Floor mats and lock sleeves will match the color scheme as well. It is only available for the better equipped Premium trim level.

The appearance package for the IS350 pairs Incognito gray paint with an Obsidian Black roof and hood. It also has a black NuLuxe interior and 19-inch Enkei alloy wheels in a dark color. Only 480 units will be produced in total.

Lexus has also split the 2023 IS350 F Sport into two versions: the F Sport Design, which mostly features appearance enhancements, and the F Sport, which includes an upgraded exhaust, a different gauge cluster, and other equipment. The rear-wheel-drive F Sport also offers a handling package with mechanical upgrades such as a limited-slip differential and adaptive dampers for an additional $1610; this same package costs $770 for the AWD model as it doesn’t include the limited-slip differential.

The IS 2023 lineup will go on sale this fall, Lexus said. Prices start at $40,585 for the four-cylinder IS300, with the IS350 F Sport Design starting at $43,660 and the IS500 F Sport Premium starting at $62,770.
