With its striking, head-turning exterior and spacious, lush interior, the ES makes a statement. With plenty of options for customization, your ES can be uniquely yours and convey exactly what you want it to say.
From its Lexus Signature Grille with flame-like Bi-LED headlamps to the standard seamless power moonroof, its sleek silhouette commands attention. It offers a wide array of wheel designs, so the standard 17-inch twin-V-spoke alloys with Dark Metallic finish are just the beginning.
You’ll be able to choose from a palette of 11 luxurious exterior paints, including Caviar and Moonbeam Beige, which is reminiscent of champagne. Want to express your bold personality? Perhaps one of these dazzling hues is more your style:
No matter which color speaks to you—and there are five others—it will announce to the rest of the world that you have arrived.
Since you’ll be spending most of your time inside the Lexus ES, it’s vital that the cabin be both stylish and spacious. The ES's interior is a veritable haven, providing many amenities. Along with dual-zone automatic climate control, it comes standardly equipped with 10-way power-adjustable front seats draped in Perforated NuLuxe® in a variety of shades. They could very well make you want to extend your time behind the wheel, along with these feature upgrades:
Another aspect of ensuring comfort is supplying enough space to accommodate everyone on board. The Lexus ES, with its class-leading legroom, delivers:

---|---|
37.5/37.8 in. | 42.4/39.2 in. |
Even with all seats occupied, you’ll be able to stow your essentials in the trunk of the ES, which offers 13.9 cubic feet of cargo volume.
Because the Lexus ES is such a pleasant place to be, as one trip ends, you’ll eagerly be planning the next. So, how will it perform once you hit the road? As you’ll soon see, whether you drive a gas-powered or hybrid trim, you’ll enjoy both power and efficiency—a combination that all drivers desire.
The Lexus ES continues to offer opportunities to customize your drive. Under its hood, you’ll have options for two combustion engines with horsepower (HP) ranging from 203 to 302 HP, and a hybrid powertrain that combines its engine with an electric motor to generate a combined 215 net HP.

3.5L V6 | 302 HP | FWD |
2.5L in-line 4 Hybrid w/ electric-drive motor | 215 net combined HP | FWD |
Both combustion engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid powertrain is mated to an electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The ES comes standardly equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD), and all variants include Drive Mode Select to further personalize your driving experience.
Regardless of which powertrain you choose, you’ll enjoy an efficient ride. Its combustion engines earn up to an EPA-estimated 25 city/34 highway MPG, while the hybrid configuration yields an EPA-estimated 43 city/44 highway MPG.
With its 15.9-gallon fuel tank capacity, you’ll be able to travel long distances in the Lexus ES before having to stop to refuel. Plus, even without choosing one of the hybrid trims, you’ll be doing your part for the environment by driving the ES. With AWD, it’s classified as a Low-Emission Vehicle; and with FWD, it’s a Certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle.
Technology is no longer considered a luxury but a necessity. Still, the sheer number and scope of technologies within the Lexus ES is next level. You and your passengers will benefit from a wide array of connectivity and convenience features while also having peace of mind that you’ll be well-protected while out on the road.
You’ll be able to stay connected, informed, and engaged behind the wheel thanks to the standard infotainment features in the ES. The 8-inch touchscreen display (including Drive Connect with Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, and Destination Assist)—a 12.3-inch screen is available—serves as your central hub to access:
You can leave your device’s charging cord behind with the available wireless charger. If you desire an even more immersive listening experience, turn the cabin of your Lexus ES into your own personal concert hall with the available Mark Levinson® 17-speaker PurePlay Surround Sound audio system.
Of course, the most crucial technologies are those that help protect you and your passengers. The ES comes standard with a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 that employs a full panel of systems to keep vigilant watch as you drive:
Thanks to these safety systems, the Lexus ES has been awarded the following two designations, one from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the other from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS):
As such, you can be confident every time you take the wheel of the Lexus ES that you’ll get reliably and safely from Point A to Point B.
The Acura TLX is considered a “performance sedan,” and concentrates its efforts on horsepower. Although that’s one aspect of performance, channeling that power responsibly and efficiently is also important. In these regards, the Lexus ES excels, providing standard all-wheel drive and delivering greater fuel economy. With its designation as a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK, the ES proves that, unlike the Acura, the Lexus is the more accurate choice.

Each of these models has a unique distinction: The 3 Series was BMW’s original sedan, and the ES is the top-selling sedan in the Lexus lineup. While they share many similarities, there are some notable differences, including four additional inches of rear legroom in the Lexus. The ES may not have been the first, but it has what it takes to last.

When choosing a luxury sedan, there are many considerations. You’ll want it to reflect you, so exterior paint is primary— even if the color you choose isn’t. It must have enough room to store your essentials, and you’ll need to know you can keep driving mile after mile. In each case, the Lexus ES surpasses the Genesis G80. Sounds like your choice just got easier.
