1. Updated Side Character Lines

Perhaps the most prominent change in the exterior design of the 2021 Lexus IS is the introduction of those strong and decisive body side lines. The shoulder line establishes a simple and dominant presence at the top. And the lower body lines create a series of shapes that you'd expect to see on Lexus concept cars. The beautiful styling theme gives the Lexus a fresh look.

2. Stronger Dashboard Design

While the overall theme in the interior design remains mostly unchanged, the look of the dashboard has been updated to have a significantly more striking design. The shape of the dashboard has been simplified. And the additional refinement of the details create a more modern interior aesthetic.

3. New Headlight Design

Keeping it with the subject of styling, the Lexus designers have continued the stunning theme of sharp, intersecting, straight lines with the headlights. The brand's new fascia design has been translated beautifully onto the IS sedan. And the powerful character of the headlights and the surrounding shapes compliment the overall look of the car's front perfectly.

4. Upgraded Infotainment System

Moving back to the interior, we have to mention the updated infotainment system. The clean new look of the center screen fits in with the design theme of the rest of the interior. And the 10-inch display option would be our pick, to take full advantage of the Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Amazon's Alexa systems.

5. Interior Materials and Patterns

And finally, we're once again impressed with the attention to detail that the Lexus designers and engineers have paid to the smallest aspects of this interior. It's the sign of a true luxury automobile when the small, easily overlooked areas of the car are treated with ample care and meticulously built.
