September 15th, 2026 by Lexus of Concord

Explore the 2027 Lexus IS 350, including pricing, 311-hp V6 performance, F SPORT models and the limited Envious Special Appearance Package at Lexus of Concord.

2027 Lexus IS 350: V6 Performance Meets the New Envious Special Appearance Package

The 2027 Lexus IS 350 continues the formula that has made the IS one of Lexus’ most recognizable sport sedans: naturally aspirated V6 power, rear- or all-wheel drive, a driver-focused cabin and distinctive F SPORT styling. For 2027, Lexus adds even more personality with a new Special Appearance Package featuring the exclusive Envious green exterior, black BBS® forged wheels and unique interior details.

Lexus has also simplified the 2027 IS lineup. The new IS is offered exclusively as the IS 350, with customers choosing between F SPORT Design and F SPORT, and both grades available with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The 2027 IS is expected to begin arriving at Lexus dealerships later in 2026.

Meet the 2027 Lexus IS Envious Special Appearance Package

The headline addition for 2027 is difficult to miss.

The new Lexus IS Special Appearance Package is built on the IS 350 F SPORT and introduces a new exterior color Lexus calls Envious.

The deep green finish gives the IS a dramatically different personality from the traditional whites, silvers, blacks and reds commonly associated with performance sedans.

But Lexus didn’t stop with the paint.

19-Inch Black BBS Forged Wheels

The Envious Special Appearance Package receives exclusive 19-inch black BBS® forged alloy wheels.

The black wheel finish creates a strong contrast against the Envious exterior and reinforces the more aggressive appearance of the F SPORT model.

BBS forged wheels are also significant from a performance perspective because forged construction can provide strength while managing wheel weight.

A Unique Green-Accented Interior

Lexus carries the Envious theme inside.

The cabin features:

Black NuLuxe®-trimmed seating
Ultrasuede® inserts
Green contrast stitching
Satin chrome-colored trim
F SPORT interior details

The green stitching ties the interior to the exclusive exterior color without overwhelming the cabin.

It’s a more subtle interpretation of the Envious theme once you’re behind the wheel.

Only 350 Planned for North America

The 2027 IS Special Appearance Package is particularly noteworthy because Lexus originally announced that only 350 vehicles would be assembled for the North American market.

That makes the Envious package considerably more limited than a conventional exterior color or option package.

For enthusiasts and customers looking for a more distinctive IS 350 F SPORT, availability may therefore be especially limited.

Customers interested in the Envious Special Appearance Package can contact Lexus of Concord to ask about future availability and allocation information.

What Comes With the IS Special Appearance Package?

In addition to the exclusive Envious exterior and black BBS wheels, Lexus announced an extensive collection of equipment for the Special Appearance Package.

Features include:

F SPORT perforated NuLuxe® seating with green stitching
Ultrasuede® seat inserts
19-inch black BBS® forged alloy wheels
Sport-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension
Drive Mode Select
Torsen® limited-slip rear differential on RWD models
Traffic Jam Assist capability
Lane Change Assist
Front Cross-Traffic Alert
Triple-Beam LED headlamps
Moonroof
Intuitive Parking Assist
Panoramic View Monitor
Power rear sunshade
Mark Levinson® premium audio
SmartAccess Key Card

That makes the Special Appearance Package much more than a unique paint-and-wheel combination.

It combines distinctive styling with many of the IS lineup’s desirable performance, luxury and technology features.

A Naturally Aspirated 3.5-Liter V6

Every 2027 Lexus IS is powered by a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine.

Output is:

311 horsepower

280 lb-ft of torque

In a market where turbocharged four-cylinder engines have become increasingly common, the IS retains the smooth, linear power delivery associated with a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine.

The V6 remains one of the defining characteristics of the 2027 IS.

Rear-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive

Lexus continues to give IS buyers a choice between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

Rear-wheel drive preserves the traditional sport-sedan layout that has long been associated with the IS.

All-wheel drive adds additional traction for drivers who prefer greater confidence during changing road and weather conditions.

That means both the F SPORT Design and F SPORT can be configured according to how the owner plans to use the vehicle.

2027 Lexus IS Pricing and Model Lineup

The 2027 lineup is notably simple.

There are four primary configurations:

Model Code	2027 Lexus IS Model	Drivetrain	MSRP Including DPH
9504	IS 350 F SPORT Design	RWD	$47,545
9508	IS 350 F SPORT Design AWD	AWD	$49,545
9510	IS 350 F SPORT	RWD	$49,845
9516	IS 350 F SPORT AWD	AWD	$51,845

Lexus states that these prices include a $1,395 Delivery, Processing and Handling fee.

Manufacturer options, dealer-installed equipment, taxes, registration, license and other charges are additional. Dealer pricing may vary.

Pricing for an individual IS equipped with the Envious Special Appearance Package will depend on the applicable vehicle and equipment configuration.

F SPORT Design or F SPORT?

For 2027, Lexus has concentrated the IS lineup around two grades.

IS 350 F SPORT Design

The F SPORT Design provides the aggressive appearance of an F SPORT-inspired IS while offering the lowest starting price in the 2027 lineup.

New for 2027 are 19-inch black and machine-finished wheels.

The F SPORT Design also receives a standard heated steering wheel for the new model year.

It’s available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.

IS 350 F SPORT

The IS 350 F SPORT builds upon the sport-sedan character with additional performance-focused equipment and serves as the foundation for the new Envious Special Appearance Package.

For customers looking for the more performance-oriented version of the IS—or those interested in the limited Envious model—the F SPORT is where to look.

Adaptive Variable Suspension

Performance is about more than horsepower.

The IS uses a sport-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension, which can continuously adjust damping force according to vehicle and road conditions.

The goal is to provide a balance between everyday ride comfort and more responsive handling when the driver wants a sportier experience.

Drive Mode Select

Drive Mode Select allows drivers to adjust how the IS responds.

Available modes can include:

ECO
Normal
Sport S
Sport S+
Custom

Depending on the selected mode, the system can alter characteristics such as accelerator response, steering feel and transmission behavior.

That allows the same IS to feel comfortable during everyday commuting and more responsive when the road becomes interesting.

Torsen Limited-Slip Differential

Rear-wheel-drive models equipped with applicable performance equipment can use a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential.

Rather than allowing all available power to follow the path of least resistance when traction changes, the differential can help distribute power more effectively between the rear wheels.

That can improve traction and cornering stability during more enthusiastic driving.

The limited-slip rear differential is also included with the Handling Package on the rear-wheel-drive Envious Special Appearance Package.

New Wheels for the IS 350 F SPORT Design

The Envious model isn’t the only IS getting a visual change for 2027.

F SPORT Design models receive new 19-inch black and machine-finished wheels.

The darker treatment complements the low, wide stance that has become one of the defining visual characteristics of the current IS.

2027 Lexus IS Exterior Colors

Depending on grade, the 2027 IS is available in a range of exterior colors including:

Ultra White
Cloudburst Gray
Iridium
Caviar
Infrared
Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0
Wind

And exclusively with the Special Appearance Package:

Envious

For buyers who want an IS that stands apart immediately, Envious is clearly the signature 2027 color.

A More Driver-Focused Interior

The 2027 IS cabin continues to emphasize the driver.

One of the biggest technology improvements is the standard 12.3-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen.

Its placement is designed to provide clear visibility while remaining within the driver’s natural field of view.

In front of the driver is another 12.3-inch TFT digital instrument display.

Together, the displays give the 2027 IS a noticeably more modern cockpit.

New Forged Bamboo Interior Trim

One of the more interesting details for 2027 is the introduction of Forged Bamboo ornamentation.

Lexus uses natural bamboo fibers to create a distinctive pattern on areas including the center console and start-switch bezel.

Because the arrangement of the fibers produces a natural shading effect, the trim has a more organic appearance than conventional printed or molded trim.

It’s a small detail, but it brings a distinctly Lexus approach to craftsmanship into a performance-oriented cabin.

Four Interior Color Choices

Depending on grade, Lexus offers four interior color combinations:

Black
Palomino
Radiant Red
White/Black

The Envious Special Appearance Package receives its own distinctive black interior with green stitching and Ultrasuede inserts.

Lexus Premium Sound Comes Standard

Every 2027 IS receives a 10-speaker Lexus Premium Sound system as standard equipment.

Customers looking for a higher-end audio experience can select an available 17-speaker Mark Levinson® system.

The Mark Levinson system is also included with the equipment announced for the Envious Special Appearance Package.

Wireless Charging and USB-C Connectivity

Lexus has also made sure the IS keeps pace with everyday connectivity needs.

The cabin includes:

Two high-output USB-C ports at the front of the center console
Two USB-C charging ports for rear passengers
Wireless smartphone charging

The wireless charging area uses a Gen5 Qi-standard system designed to accommodate a variety of smartphone sizes.

Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 Comes Standard

Every 2027 Lexus IS comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0.

The suite includes technologies such as:

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Lane Tracing Assist
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
Road Sign Assist
Automatic High Beams
Proactive Driving Assist

These systems are designed to assist the driver under certain conditions and do not replace attentive driving.

Additional Technology on the Envious Special Appearance Package

The limited Special Appearance Package adds several additional driver-assistance technologies through its standard Technology Package.

These include:

Traffic Jam Assist capability

Designed to provide additional driver assistance during certain low-speed driving situations when applicable conditions and system requirements are met.

Lane Change Assist

Designed to provide support during certain lane-change maneuvers when operating conditions are satisfied.

Front Cross-Traffic Alert

Designed to help identify approaching traffic from the side when visibility ahead may be obstructed.

Combined with its Panoramic View Monitor and Intuitive Parking Assist, the technology package makes the limited Envious model one of the most comprehensively equipped versions of the IS.

Why the 2027 Lexus IS Is Different

The automotive market has changed substantially since the IS first arrived.

Luxury buyers today have far more SUVs and electrified vehicles to choose from, and many competing sedans have transitioned to smaller turbocharged engines.

The 2027 IS takes a different approach.

It remains:

A traditional compact luxury sport sedan
Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6
Available with rear-wheel drive
Available with all-wheel drive
Focused on responsive handling
Offered with F SPORT styling and performance equipment

For shoppers who still want the feel and proportions of a traditional sport sedan, those characteristics help distinguish the IS from many newer luxury vehicles.

2027 Lexus IS vs. 2026 Lexus IS: What’s Different?

The biggest changes for 2027 center around equipment and styling rather than an entirely new vehicle.

Key changes include:

New Envious Special Appearance Package
The limited package introduces Envious green paint, black BBS forged wheels and exclusive green-accented interior details.

Updated F SPORT Design Wheels
F SPORT Design receives new 19-inch black and machine-finished wheels.

Heated Steering Wheel
The heated steering wheel becomes standard on F SPORT Design.

12.3-Inch Displays
The 2027 IS features a standard 12.3-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display.

Forged Bamboo Ornamentation
The cabin receives distinctive new bamboo-based trim elements.

The core 311-horsepower V6 and the choice between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive continue.

Should You Wait for a 2027 Lexus IS?

The answer largely depends on which features matter most to you.

If you’re specifically interested in the Envious Special Appearance Package, waiting for the 2027 model will obviously be necessary.

The updated technology, new wheel design and other 2027 enhancements may also appeal to customers who want the newest IS configuration.

However, shoppers who like the existing IS 350 F SPORT may find a current model that already fits their desired color, drivetrain and equipment combination.

You can explore the current Lexus IS at Lexus of Concord or browse current new Lexus inventory.

When Will the 2027 Lexus IS Arrive?

Lexus says the 2027 Lexus IS is expected to arrive at Lexus dealerships later in 2026.

Availability of the limited Envious Special Appearance Package may be particularly constrained because Lexus announced only 350 units for the North American market.

Actual availability at Lexus of Concord will depend on production and vehicle allocation.
