Lexus to phase out three models by end of 2025

Lexus will discontinue the IS sedan (IS 500, IS 350, IS 300h with all-wheel drive and IS 300) and the RC sports coupe (RC 350, RC 300h, RC 300) in November 2025. Only the rear-wheel drive IS 300h will remain for the Japanese market.

Only the IS sedan will get a successor, with a fully electric model expected in 2026. The RC coupe will not receive a direct replacement. Lexus will also discontinue the UX 300e electric crossover, replacing it with the hybrid UX 300h, which is likely to be restyled in 2026.
