IS250 2014 0-60?
The 2014 Lexus IS250 uses a 2.5-liter V6 paired with a six-speed automatic, available in rear‑wheel drive or all‑wheel drive. Its 0-60 mph time is a common benchmark for this class, but exact numbers depend on drivetrain and testing conditions.
In general, the 0-60 time for the 2014 IS250 sits in the mid‑to‑high seven seconds range. Expect about 7.6–7.8 seconds for rear‑wheel‑drive models with the standard automatic, and roughly 7.8–8.0 seconds for all‑wheel‑drive versions.
Further context: the IS250’s powertrain delivers around 204 horsepower and about 184 lb-ft of torque. In the U.S. market, this model year did not offer a manual transmission, so acceleration figures come from the automatic-equipped configurations. Times can vary with tires, weather, altitude, and vehicle condition.
Performance by configuration
The following ranges summarize typical independent tests for the 2014 IS250 across common configurations.
- Rear-wheel drive (RWD) with a 6‑speed automatic: approximately 7.6–7.8 seconds
- All-wheel drive (AWD) with a 6‑speed automatic: approximately 7.8–8.0 seconds
These figures reflect common test results and real‑world variability. Exact times will depend on tire grip, weather, altitude, and how the vehicle is loaded.
Other factors that influence acceleration
Beyond drivetrain, several variables can speed up or slow down the IS250’s 0-60 run. The following factors are routinely cited in performance tests and reviews:
- Tire type and condition (grip level) and road surface
- Ambient temperature and altitude (air density)
- Transmission software and drive mode selection
- Vehicle load from passengers or cargo
- Engine maintenance and overall mechanical condition
Because of these variables, the 0-60 figure should be treated as an estimate rather than a fixed number. For the most precise assessment, consult the exact test data for the specific vehicle and configuration you’re considering.
Summary
The 2014 Lexus IS250 typically records 0-60 mph in the mid‑to‑high seven seconds, with about 7.6–7.8 seconds for RWD and 7.8–8.0 seconds for AWD configurations. The times depend on testing conditions, tires, and vehicle setup. For buyers comparing models, reviewing multiple independent tests provides the most reliable picture of real‑world acceleration.
