Lexus IS by Vauxford - CC-BY-SA-4.0 The Lexus IS is an older line of vehicles, originally introduced over two decades ago. Because of this, the Lexus IS is broadly split up into two different generations: the earlier generation, before 2010, and the more recent generation, after 2011 or so. If you’re in the market for one of these used cars, you might wonder what the most reliable Lexus IS year is.

Lexus IS250 by Altair78 — CC BY-SA 3.0 Lexus is one of the more affordable luxury vehicle brands out there, but they offer pretty good value for the money with lots of features, high reliability, and a lot of consistency between models. With that in mind, most people are willing to trust Lexus to be consistent and durable, especially since Lexus is the luxury brand under Toyota. They benefit some from Toyota’s reputation for reliability, and plenty of loyal Toyota customers upgrade to Lexus, and Lexus drivers give Toyotas a try as well if they’re looking for more affordable vehicles.
