2024 Lexus ES Review
The 2024 Lexus ES returns to follow up on the success of its 2023 edition. The ES price remains incredibly affordable for a luxury automotive package.
However, the question for the luxury shopper is always: will the new Lexus ES sedan fit your lifestyle? That’s what this review will attempt to answer.
What’s New for 2024?
It is not an overstatement to say that the 2024 model year lineup covers a wide variety of lifestyles and personalities. It does it by offering three powerful engines, an array of stylish interiors, an assortment of excellent exterior colors, and an ever-increasing list of top tech features.
A new technology package, for instance, adds a SmartAccess Card Key. This is a new way to drive. The card is in your wallet, and you have easy entry to your vehicle.
The new package makes the Head-Up Display available on all models. This favorite feature shows your speed, directions and other important information on your windshield. Drivers get the information they need without having to take their eyes too far from the road.
The largest touchscreen with its extensive features is another standard of the technology package. Again, this means that more models can be equipped with the most advanced infotainment system that Lexus offers on its cars.
Interior Style and Colors
Recognizing that luxury shoppers expect choices, interior color options are available even on the base model. NuLuxe is offered in Palomino and Acorn as well as black.
ES Premium models add a Macadamia NuLuxe choice. Instead of a Striated Black film, cabin accents can be Open-Pore Black, Open-Pore Brown Walnut, or Ash Bamboo styles.
With ES Luxury models, shoppers move up to semi-aniline leather with the same wood-based trims. Luxury and Ultra Luxury leather upholstery is offered in black, Acorn, Palomino, and Macadamia.
Based on the Premium trim, F Sport Design cabins come in Palomino NuLuxe with the walnut trim or black Nuluxe with the black wood trim. Stepping up to the F Sport Handling on the ES 300h or ES 350, NuLuxe is offered in exclusive Circuit Red or White. Hadori Aluminum trim adds a special shine.
ES 250 AWD
Performance choices are represented by these five trim levels: ES 250 AWD, ES 300h, ES 350, ES300h F Sport Handling, and ES 350 Handling F Sport. Although the 2024 ES hybrid is the most fuel efficient, the 2024 Lexus ES 250 AWD is remarkable given its Dynamic Torque Control all-wheel drivetrain.
Paired with a clever 2.5-L L4 engine, Lexus AWD has been designed to counteract tire slip in all its forms. In difficult conditions, the system can move torque in a 50:50 split. This gives the rear wheels more momentum and helps prevent front wheel slippage.
Fuel efficiency is emphasized by the system through two aspects. First, this mostly electronic all-wheel drive doesn’t add much weight to the sedan. Second, when it isn’t needed, the system disconnects the rear drive axle from the propeller shaft.
Although the least expensive, this base model still has a wealth of vital safety features such as adaptive cruise control, collision warnings, and pedestrian detection. It has a well-connected infotainment system and touchscreen as well.
ES 350 F Sport Handling
Standard on the Lexus ES 350 and ES 350 F Sport Handling, an updated 3.5-liter V6 delivers 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Drivers have an 8-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission to help them control that power.
This luxury sedan is a smart commuter. Earning an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway, the clever V6 achieves a rate of 26 mpg in combined city and interstate driving.
The 2024 Lexus ES F Sport Handling has the brand’s adaptive variable suspension.Always in the moment, this feature sharpens handling even as it smooths the ride for passengers.
A Sport-Plus drive mode heightens the car’s reflexes in the speediest settings. A Custom Drive mode allows driving enthusiasts to create their own parameters for the engine, transmission, and steering.
ES Hybrid F Sport Handling
You could say that the 2024 Lexus ES 300h is the ultimate luxury commuter. Fuel economy is 43 mpg in the city, 44 mpg on the highway, and a combined 44 mpg.
Lexus ES hybrid drivers command 215 horsepower and enjoy the extra-quick response of electric torque. Drivers can use paddle shifters to simulate a manual transmission in this front wheel drive luxury sedan.
Engineers have crafted the hybrid’s power system to align the engine speed with the vehicle speed. This tuning trick allows for the type of linear acceleration that driving enthusiasts expect in a luxury car.
In Sport mode, the 2024 ES hybrid powertrain boosts low-speed torque for faster take-offs and quicker highway sprints. The 2024 ES 300h F Sport Handling adds a Sport-Plus mode, Custom Drive mode and adaptive suspension.
F Sport Design and Related Trim Style
If you want the F Sport Design trim level, you are in luck. It can be based on the 2024 ES 250 AWD, ES 350 or ES hybrid. These models wear 19-inch alloys with a Gloss black finish and a 5-spoke design. The exterior is upgraded with trim-specific grille surround, a unique front bumper, and a special rear spoiler.
In addition to the fun handling equipment, shoppers choose this trim level for its Intuitive Parking Assist. This Lexus system does all the work when you need to park the ES sedan.
The F Sport Handling trim builds off the Design trim and, as mentioned, is only available with the Lexus ES 300h or 350 engines. In addition to the additional drive modes and active suspension, it dresses up the interior with Hadori aluminum trim, a black headliner and aluminum pedals. A special F Sport steering wheel has a power-heat function.
Available features on these trims include a panoramic roof to bring the world inside and a rear power sunshade to help shut out unwanted light. PurePlay Surround Sound comes with the 17-speaker Mark Levinson system.
Infotainment and Navigation
A large touchscreen anchors the Lexus infotainment system. On-screen maps and directions are available through a variety of methods. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide an interface where your favorite map app can appear on the screen.
A three-year trial to Direct Connect provides access to Cloud Navigation features including up-to-date traffic, routing, and maps. Google Points of Interest can help you find the closest gas station or a 5-star dining experience.
Destination Assist allows you to skip all of these steps and seek 24/7 live agent assistance. Over the Air Updates are built into this subscription system.
When the driver says Hey Lexus, they are tapping into the Intelligent Assistant that helps you with all of this and much more. The Lexus Intelligent Assistant can change the cabin temperature or turn up your favorite song on the radio.
More Connectivity
WiFi is available by subscription. Passengers can stream movies or videos. Parents can certainly keep kids entertained.
Safety Connect comes with a ten-year trial with your purchase of the Lexus ES. This gives you and your passengers access to an emergency assistance button. It also provides a fast connection to enhanced roadside assistance. Best of all, it can provide geographic information to emergency services in response to an automatic collision notification.
Remote Connect is included as a 3-year trial. This Lexus app is your key to remote starts on a hot summer morning. You can get the AC going before you step into your Lexus ES. Other functions include vehicle status checks, guest driver alerts, and remote lock/unlock functions.
An additional Integrated Streaming feature allows you to utilize your Apple Music or Amazon Music subscriptions via the onboard controls. A 3-month trial gets you started with SiriusXM Platinum.
Safety by Trim Level
The Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is standard across the lineup. This ensures a higher level of collision avoidance at every trim level. Cameras and millimeter-wave radar inform the front collision system and its autobrake. It can watch for pedestrians and cyclists as well as slowing or stopping cars.
Ahead of its time, it can detect objects in the lane. A system, called Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist, can detect a problem then assist with braking and steering to ensure the vehicle avoids the danger. Of course, the ES has a steering assist with its lane departure warning.
Another cutting edge aspect of this system is Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection. It warns, a driver about an oncoming vehicle as the ES seeks to go left. It may automatically brake to prevent a collision.
Bringing you closer than ever to automation, the 2024 Lexus ES has All-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist. These systems can control the vehicle’s speed and maintain a safe trajectory as long as the driver maintains steering.
Road Sign Assist helps keep you informed as you approach stop signs, Do Not Enter signs and other warnings. It detects speed limit signs to ensure you know when the speed changes, especially if radar cruise control is turned on.
Exterior Colors
From Eminent White Pearl to Matador Red Mica, Lexus ES sedans come in a rainbow of 11 exterior colors.There are some fun names such as Obsidian, Iridium, and Caviar. Other names evoke the time of day, such as Sunlit Green, Moonbeam Beige Metallic, and Nightfall Mica.
If you want Ultrasonic Blue Mica, you’ll need to choose one of the F-Sport Design or Handling trim levels. Ultra White is also exclusive to these models.
Shoppers can add more visual interest with the many different wheel choices. Dark metallic and machined finishes provide contrast on standard wheel choice. The spokes end in twin v-spoke formations that give a feeling of motion even when still.
New for 2024, a two-tone dark machined finish dress split 10-spoke wheels on the ES Luxury trim level. Another new choice, a Vapor Chrome finish dresses a special noise reduction alloy wheel. The F Sport 19-inch wheel is dressed in gloss black.
