The 2021 Lexus IS has more options

The 2021 Lexus IS offers three engines while the A4 only offers one. Although the BMW 3 Series technically offers three engine options as well, that model is almost non-existent in Canada so essentially, the Lexus offers more engine options than either the 3 Series or the A4.

2021 Lexus IS Packed with Safety Features

IS models see their cameras and radar systems improved for 2021.

But arguably, the biggest improvement is the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 suite of technologies that includes the Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and pedestrian and cyclist detection.

Dynamic All-Speed Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Departure Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Intelligent High Beam, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) are all standard safety technologies available on the Lexus IS.

Both the Audi A4 and the BMW 3 Series offer safety technologies, but they are mostly optional and can increase the price quite a bit.

At the end of the day, the 2021 Lexus IS is the most recent car to arrive in the compact luxury sedan segment and as such, it has the best of everything at a better price point.

The 2021 Lexus IS

Better value, better performance, better safety. That’s what the new Lexus IS offers over its competition.
