New Lexus ES Hybrid Sedan Review
The new Lexus ES and ES Hybrid lineup is versatile, catering to an array of lifestyles and personal preferences. It works to keep ownership costs in line while providing the latest in driver technologies and amenities.
For the discerning luxury shopper, the pivotal question remains: does the new Lexus ES sedan align with your unique lifestyle? This overview seeks to answer your questions about drivability, interior features, and other aspects of luxury car ownership.
Performance
ES performance is driven by a cleverly designed 2.5-liter L4 engine, tailored to counteract tire slippage under various conditions. When faced with challenging situations, this system can effectively redistribute torque in a 50:50 split, providing the rear wheels with increased traction and preventing potential front wheel slippage.
F Sport Handling models boast a newly updated 3.5-liter V6 engine. It generates an impressive 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. To manage this power effectively, drivers have at their disposal an 8-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. With an adaptive variable suspension, the ES sedan maintains optimal handling while delivering a smooth ride for passengers.
If you want the most efficiency, the obvious answer is the new Lexus ES Hybrid. It provides instant electric torque to take its 215-horsepower engine further, faster. In fact, it is tuned for the luxury driving experience that shoppers expect from a Lexus.
Utility
When it comes to this small sedan, it isn’t so much about utility as it is about convenience. Here the new Lexus ES really shines. Lexus has crafted a package that reinforces its value over time.
For starters, gas mileage is excellent. The V6 earns 32 mpg on the interstate. The ES Hybrid boosts fuel economy to 44 mpg on the highway. It boosts the combined 26 mpg rating to 44 mpg.
Today’s new Lexus ES or ES Hybrid comes with a 3-year subscription to Remote Connect. This helpful tool is a remote starter with many extra functions.You can check the gasoline level, be alerted to guest driver behaviors, and turn on the air conditioning for a cooler departure.
Another convenience is a ten-year subscription to Safety Connect. This activates an emergency assistance button and can trigger an automated SOS in case of a collision.
Interior
Unexpected surprises make this a fun luxury sedan. For new views, there’s a panoramic roof on the menu. To keep out the worst of the sun’s rays, there’s an available rear power sunshade.
There are rich NuLuxe upholsteries in elegant colors like Acorn, Palomino, White, Circuit Red, and Macadamia for the new model year. Sport models add to the atmosphere with aluminum pedals and a special sport steering wheel. A black headliner and Hadori aluminum add more elements to the elegance.
Real wood trims and ultra luxury leather can elevate the cabin. You can choose a premium package, luxury trim, or ultra luxury trim for the most amenities. One thing’s for sure, this luxury ride transcends any comparisons to the Toyota Camry.
This is the first year for the Lexus SmartAccess Card Key. It tucks away in your wallet and makes sure you are always ready to go when the mood takes you.

Technology
The Lexus infotainment system centers around a sizable touchscreen interface.Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available for seamless integration with map apps. The largest touchscreen extends advanced infotainment system capabilities to a wider range of Lexus models.
Intelligent Assistant, activated with the phrase "Hey Lexus," enhances the driving experience. It allows drivers to control various in-cabin functions and access a range of features easily. An integrated streaming feature enables the use of Apple Music or Amazon Music subscriptions via onboard controls.
The system may be paired with the PurePlay Surround Sound, featuring a 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. A Head-Up Display is part of the technology package. It conveniently projects essential information, including speed and directions, onto the windshield, minimizing distractions.
For navigation, the Lexus ES offers Direct Connect and its Cloud Navigation features. This includes real-time traffic updates, routing information, up-to-date maps, Google Points of Interest, and a live-agent Destination Assist.
Safety
Regardless of trim level, the ES or ES Hybrid shopper will find a long list of the most important driver aids today. Using cameras, radar, and an emergency autobrake, a front collision system is capable of detecting pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles, and it can slow down or bring the vehicle to a stop when necessary.
Adding another touch of helpful automation, the Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist will help balance the driver’s reaction to danger and provide steering to prevent a new dangerous situation. It is a logical complement to the lane departure warning and its lane keep assistance.
Another cutting-edge feature, Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection, warns the driver when an oncoming vehicle is detected while making a left turn. Other standards include All-speed adaptive cruise control, Lane Tracing Assist, Intuitive Parking Assist, and Road Sign Assist..
