October 27 2022,
The 2023 Lexus ES is a premium sedan that is aimed at buyers who want comfort, luxury and practicality in their next vehicle, without having to choose an SUV.
An impressive array of features
The 2023 Lexus ES is one of the most affordable Lexus models but this doesn’t mean it is devoid of luxury, quite the contrary. For 2023, the ES benefits from the new Lexus Interface infotainment system that features all of the latest technologies such as connected services that allow a number of functions to be controlled via the Lexus App or the intuitive hands-free voice commands that respond when the driver or a passenger says “Hey Lexus”. The ES can also be equipped with many luxury features that make it more comfortable and more pleasant, such as the heated and ventilated front seats, the rain-sensing wipers, and the head-up display.
One of the safest choices in its category
The 2023 Lexus ES is one of the safest vehicles in North America according to the IIHS, which gave it the Top Safety Pick + award in 2022. This is because it benefits from all of the newest active safety features on the market, such as the forward collision warning system with pedestrian detection and intersection support, as well as the active lane-keeping assist.
Three powertrains to choose from
The 2023 Lexus ES is offered with three powertrains that are sure to please a majority of buyers in its category. The entry-level option is the 2.5L four-cylinder engine found in the ES 250. This engine delivers 203 horsepower to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. The ES 350 is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 302 horsepower to the front wheels via the same transmission. This powertrain will be the favourite of drivers who value smoothness and power in an engine before all else. For drivers who are more concerned about the fuel consumption, the ES 300h comes with a 2.5L engine paired with an electric motor and a CVT transmission. This makes for an output of 215 horsepower and a consumption of only 5,2 L/100 km on the highway.
