Is the Lexus 200t fast?


The IS200t is not considered "fast," but it is quick for its class and has plenty of power for passing, thanks to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 241 horsepower. However, it can feel slow off the line due to a noticeable turbo lag and throttle delay, making it a sporty and comfortable daily driver rather than a true performance car, with a 0-60 mph time around 7 seconds.
 

  • Engine: 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four producing 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. 
  • 0-60 mph: Approximately 7 seconds. 
  • Performance: It feels quick once the turbo is spooled up, making it good for passing, but it has a noticeable delay from a stop. 
  • Intended purpose: A reliable and comfortable sports sedan that is fun to drive, but not a high-performance car.
