How wide is the IS350?
The Lexus IS350 is about 1,800 millimeters wide (roughly 71 inches). The exact figure depends on the model year and on how width is measured—body width (excluding mirrors) versus overall width (including the side mirrors). Across its three generations, the width remains close to this figure, with small variations by market and trim.
What counts as width and how it’s measured
Width in official specifications is typically presented in two ways: the body width (the distance across the vehicle’s sides, excluding mirrors) and the overall width (the distance including the side mirrors). Market-specific versions can also differ slightly due to bumper design, mirror shapes, and wheel/tire packages. If you’re parking in a tight space, the overall width is most relevant, while the body width can matter for garage clearance and interior fit.
Width by generation
Below are general ranges reported for major IS350 generations. Figures tend to reflect body width unless noted, and actual numbers can vary by market, trim, and wheel/tire size. For precision, consult the official spec for your exact year and market.
- First generation (2006–2013, XE20): body width typically around 1,780–1,800 mm; overall width with mirrors commonly about 1,860–1,900 mm.
- Second generation (2014–2020, XE30): body width typically around 1,800–1,825 mm; overall width with mirrors commonly about 1,860–1,900 mm.
- Third generation (2021–present): body width typically around 1,805–1,835 mm; overall width with mirrors commonly about 1,870–1,910 mm.
Note: These ranges are approximate and intended to illustrate typical width trends across generations. Exact measurements vary by market, trim, and wheel/tire configuration. Always check the official specification sheet for your exact vehicle.
Practical implications
Width matters for garage space, parking lots, and lane discipline. If you’re shopping for a home or garage, measure the available width and compare it to the IS350’s published width (both body and overall with mirrors) for your year and market. If you frequently drive in tight urban environments, the overall width including mirrors is the most relevant figure for clearance and turning radius considerations.
How to verify the width for your IS350
The most reliable source is the official Lexus specification page for your model year and market. You can also reference the VIN-specific brochure, the owner’s manual, or the door-jamb sticker for precise measurements. For collectors or owners with aftermarket mirrors or wheels, re-check the measurement after any changes affect overall width.
Summary: The IS350 sits around 1.8 meters wide (about 71 inches) in body width, with mirrors pushing the overall width a bit wider. Exact numbers depend on generation, market, and equipment, so consult the official spec for your exact vehicle.
