Lexus's junior luxury sedan was once based on the Toyota Camry, but now shares a platform with the larger Toyota Avalon. It's one of the automaker's most popular models, and for good reason, with its blend of refinement, reliability and good value.
What's New for 2015
There are few changes this year. Look for revised multimedia system, the availability of Lexus Enform Remote, and a new shade of Atomic Silver paint.
Choosing Your Lexus ES 350
Lexus keeps the selection process simple with a single trim level. Under the hood is Toyota's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V6, which produces 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. Mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, it gets the ES 350 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds while delivering 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined.
There are many options available individually, but Lexus grouped the most popular into three packages:
Some of the features in the packages are also available as standalone options, so research closely to avoid buying a package that has a ton of options that you won't need just to get a single option that you desire.
