Lexus IS-Series 2026 Price in UAE

The IS is Lexus's rear-wheel-drive compact saloon and the closest thing the brand builds to a BMW 3 Series. This third-generation car was heavily reworked in 2020 — new sheet metal, a wider rear track and a retuned chassis — and in the UAE it is sold with either a turbocharged 2.0-litre four, badged IS300, or a 3.5-litre V6.

How much does the Lexus IS cost in the UAE?

Three trims and two engines, and the split is unusually clean. AED 185,000 buys the Premier 2.0L with the turbocharged four; from there the range jumps straight to the V6 F Sport cars and finishes at AED 255,000 for the F Sport Platinum 3.5L. There is no V6 without the F Sport package here, so this is really a choice between two different cars.

Which Lexus IS trim is the one to buy?

The Premier, if the 241 BHP turbo four is enough — and for most driving it is, since the chassis is the reason to want an IS in the first place. Step up only because you want the V6, as the two F Sport trims are the only route to it: F Sport Prestige adds the engine, firmer damping and the body kit, and F Sport Platinum layers on cabin and audio equipment without changing how it drives.

Lexus IS or Lexus ES?

The IS, if you care how a saloon drives. It is rear-wheel drive, shorter in the wheelbase and far keener to change direction than anything else Lexus sells at this money, with steering weight and body control that reward an empty stretch of road. The ES is longer, quieter and much roomier in the back — the better car for passengers and for a slow commute. Cross-shoppers also look at the BMW 3 Series and Genesis G70.

What does a Lexus IS cost to run in the UAE?

Reasonable for a rear-drive premium saloon. The turbocharged four returns a claimed 11 Km/L and takes standard fuel, while the V6 trades that for effortlessness. Al-Futtaim Lexus handles sales and aftersales in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with common warranty and service terms across the range. The F Sport cars run larger wheels and lower-profile tyres, which is where the ownership costs actually diverge.

If a nearly new example would do, weigh the used IS listings against the new price and read the inspection report on any car you shortlist.
