Is the Lexus IS 250 AWD?

I found a great deal on a used Lexus IS 250. However, the online ad doesn’t say whether it has two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (AWD). Does the Lexus IS 250 have all-wheel drive?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
A luxury sedan that has been manufactured since 2015, the
Lexus IS 250
 offers AWD as an available option.
Originally, the upgrade from rear-wheel drive (RWD) to all-wheel drive was roughly $2,400 to $2,700 depending on the model year. On a used Lexus IS 250, this upgraded drivetrain costs about 10% more than the regular rear-wheel drive.
Aside from improved handling, the only major difference between AWD compared to RWD is fuel economy. The Lexus IS 250 AWD provides 27 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in the city while the RWD boasts 30 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg in the city.
Either drivetrain is paired with a 204-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbo V6 and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
If the model you’re looking at has AWD and you decide to buy it, use the

What Others Are Asking

Are tires covered under the Ford warranty?
I was driving the other day when I noticed the car start to pull to the right. I pulled over and noticed a screw was in one of the tires. Unfortunately, I don’t have a ton of disposable income. Will the Ford warranty cover tire damage?

Are there any drawbacks to refinancing after I get dealer incentives from a car loan?
The salesperson at the dealership is willing to knock $2,000 off the price of a Honda Accord if I finance through them. She told me that I can refinance after four months. Are there any drawbacks to getting these incentives on a car loan and then refinancing?
