Default IS200t F-Sport Suspension Question

I'm new to the brand. All I know is that I wanted the F-Sport package when I purchased the car.

How do I know if I have the adaptive suspension? There is a very discernible difference when I switch through the modes in terms of ride feel, but how do I know for sure?

Thanks team.

Welcome!

The IS 350 F Sport models, both rear- and all-wheel-drive will have AVS. You could also check the window sticker if you have it, or use the VIN decoder on the Lexus Drivers site.

If you have a Sport+ mode, then you have AVS.

Only the is350 has adaptive shocks, all others just changes the steering feel and holds the rev longer

Well, if you mean Sport mode, yes. If you have Sport+ you have AVS, but you won't have it without AVS, so it's a moot point.
