Lexus IS is considered one of the best-selling sports cars in Nigeria, not only does the IS wear Lexus’s spindle grille better than most of its stablemates, but it is also prettier than most of the other cars in the compact sports-sedan class.
For 2023, the IS350 F Sport and IS500 F Sport models get new wheel designs, with the latter coming with 19-inch Enkei rollers. A special appearance package for the IS500 F Sport Performance Premium model includes Molten Pearl exterior colour with black faux-leather interior upholstery and unique BBS forged alloy wheels; only 150 will be built.
The IS350 F Sport also gets a new appearance package, but instead of the Molten Pearl colour, Lexus has chosen Incognito exterior paint with an Obsidian-coloured hood; only 480 of these will be offered for sale.
Arriving in Nigeria, AbegAutos, a popular car dealer in Lekki, Lagos displayed the only 2023 Lexus IS 500 available for purchase in Nigeria with a pricing tag of 65 million naira.

With the top features the IS500 comes with, especially the high performance, we believe the pricing may not be a problem for many shoppers in Africa, knowing fully well that the 2023 IS has three engine options: a 241-hp turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder in the IS300, a 311-hp V-6 in the IS350, and now a 472-hp V-8 in the IS500 F Sport Performance model.
