2019 IS 300 F Sport is Back in Black (Line)

Special edition Black Line features exclusive sexy, sleek accents such as wheels, black side mirrors, and red interior accents.

Lexus is releasing a special limited edition of the 2019 IS 300 F Sport that offers drivers a new and dramatic way to express their style with the introduction of the Black Line Special Edition. Limited to 900 units for 2019, the new IS 300 Black Line brings together unique features and subtle styling changes that add a custom touch to this dynamic sport sedan.

Available on both the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive IS 300 F Sport models, the Black Line Special Edition has several exterior features that set it apart from the standard IS 300. Most notably are 18-inch, split spoke wheels with a “black vapor chrome” finish, a technology shared with the wheels on the flagship LS sedan.

To complement the darker wheels, the Black Line Special Edition also comes equipped with black side mirrors. The line includes three exterior color options to choose from: Ultra White, Obsidian, and Atomic Silver.

The interior befits a true Special Edition. All Black Line models come with black Nuluxe seats with red accents on the side bolsters and seat cushions. Additional red accent panels continue on each side of the center stack along with contrasting red stitching on the seats, center console, and armrests. Amenities include a heated, black wood-trimmed steering wheel that features distinctive shades of black that were created by a Japanese calligraphy shop dedicated to perfecting ink for more than 200 years. All Black Line deliver ample illumination with Navigation and triple beam LED headlamps.

Fast and striking, the rear-wheel drive versions of the IS 300 Black Line Special Edition are powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine that sends up to 241 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive version of the Black Line Special Edition uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 260-hp and a six-speed automatic transmission.

The 2019 IS 300 Black Line Special Edition will be hitting showrooms in March.
