Hey everyone we are reviewing a lexus ES but it remains one of the best slowing luxury cars you can buy and we did commission this graphic so let's talk about it the 7th generation lexus es was introduced for the 2019 model year when it launched we at the blue book louded its muted cabin and graceful road manners i can confirm that all of that praise still applies oh and the seats are still the gold standard for supportive pressure point free sitting in the rear leg room is ample and despite a sleek roof line headroom is plentiful the trunk provides 16.7 cubic feet of space a workable figure though it'd be more workable if the rear seat backs folded dow with luck you'll never have to haul anything larger than this pass-through allows as for material quality the interior feels soft in all the right places i like the stitching here this cushy shin pad and i love the squishy armrest for my impossibly delicate elbows squish squish.
Yes you'll find hard plastic if you look for it but overall premium vedio dominate other niceties include a two-way opening center console cover a dual height cup holder and this little guy for those who associate analog clocks with luxury for its mid-cycle update thanks again editor the ES benefited from a range of minor styling tweaks inside and out for compariso here's the og 7th generation lexus ES alongside the refreshed standard ESvheads up we're driving the f sport more on that shortly following its mid-cycle refresh lexus also opted to revise the infotainment system i'd previously complained that the ES's screen was not a touch screen well lexus heard my lamentations and made it atouch screen they also moved it 4.3 inches closer to the driver you can still use the remote touch interface down here if you want to control it and not touch the screen but now you don't have to as for screen sizes there's a standard 8-inch unit and an optional 12.3 inch unit each offering apple carplay and android auto smartphone connectivity hitting on powertrains there's a standard 3.5 liter v6 teamed with an 8-speed automatic transmission and there's an optional hybrid and here are the fuel economy figures wow that hybrid has really great fuel economy if you are interested in the hybrid though just know that the brake pedal has that spongy unnatural feel of hybrids that i thought we'd gotten rid of but here it is now something weird for the same priceyou'd pay for a front-wheel drive v6 es350 you can also get a less powerful es250 with a 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine and all-wheel driveif you're willing to trade power for traction now you have that choice filling out the price picture for a little less than forty one thousand dollars not including destination charges you can snag a base lexus es 350 or es250 all-wheel drive featuring led headlights and tail lights a moon roof smart entry with push button start and 10-way power front seats.
Tack on an extra 1100 if you'd rather drive the es300h hybrid and of course you can ascend the lexusES trim ladder to unlock features like leather heated and ventilated seats a power rear sunshade a panoramic moon roof a 17 speaker mark levinson audio system 360 degree camera system and wireless phone charging choose the priciest es 300h ultra luxury trim and you'll spend more than fifty one thousand dollars to start for folks who'd like a veneer of sportiness the f sport like we're driving adds sporty details inside and out and is offered with all three powertrains here's a side by side so you can compare the standard es with the f-sport the ford's mid-cycle refresh f-sportified es's used to automatically include an adaptive suspension along with sport plus and custom driving mode but now those features are bundled in a separate dynamic handling package so if you want to look sporty without actually driving sportily skipping those adaptive dampers can save you a couple of bucks one last bit of praise the es includes a standard suite of safety and driver assist tech including adaptive cruise control automatic emergency braking 10 airbags blind spot monitoring intersection turning assist that can help keep you from turning into the path of oncoming traffic and lane departure warning with steering assist let's see if i can stupidly vacate my lane.
lexus says no if you're curious about es alternatives consider the less expensive acura tlx and cadillac ct5 you might also ponder the notably pricier genesis g80 with its evocative style and a performance-focused rear-wheel drive platform but among comparable luxury sedans the lexus es has an advantage it's a lexus offering the reliability and strong residual values that badge implies it's also comfortable stylish and reasonably priced if you want to know why lexus sells so many es there's your answer.
What a bakwash vehicle
