Lexus ES 330 Overview

The Lexus ES 330 may be the smoothest, quietest car in its class. It's easy to drive and easy to drive smoothly, keeping your passengers comfortable and making you look like a pro. Its 3.3-liter V6 engine and five-speed automatic are smooth and responsive. Its supple suspension gives it a smooth ride on rough city streets, beat up freeways and poorly maintained back roads, and its anti-lock brakes are easy to modulate for smooth stops in everyday driving.

Living with this car is easy. It's loaded with features that make life more convenient, and refinement, quality fit and finish, and attention to detail are evident throughout. You see, feel, and even hear the quality. It can be heard in the solid sound the doors, trunk, and hood make when they're closed. The seats are comfortable, the leather upholstery is nice, and the interior trimmed in wood and aluminum trim has a rich appearance. Most features are straightforward and easy to operate and there's an excellent Mark Levinson stereo available as an option, along with satellite radio. The rear seats are roomy and comfortable and feature seatbelt pre-tensioners and force limiters, and there's a decent-size trunk.

Interior enhancements further the appeal for 2005, improving convenience and comfort while underway. Mild styling revisions freshen its appearance and distinguish it from last year's model.
