2022 Lexus ES - Exclusive Ashburn New Car Discounts

The 2022 Lexus ES receives several updates for its third year in its current form. The center touchscreen gains functionality and new positioning for easier viewing. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is now standard on all models. Other changes include redesigned bi-LED headlights, a newly available Dynamic Handling Package for the gas model, and an F Sport trim for hybrid versions.

Lexus' 2022 ES lineup consists of three main models: ES 250, ES 350, and ES 300h. Each luxury sedan is available in four trim levels: base, F Sport, Luxury, and Ultra Luxury. Pricing starts at $41,875 including destination and stretches to $52,655 for the 300h Ultra Luxury.

Pricing is identical on the ES 250 and ES 350, while the 300h costs $1,100 more at each trim level.

The ES 250 comes equipped with a four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. The ES 350 gets a V6, and the ES 300h features a hybrid powerplant. The ES 350 and 300h come exclusively with front-wheel drive.

The four-cylinder and V6 engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The hybrid carries a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

The ES is a midsize luxury sedan with plush accommodations for five. The trunk holds 16.7 cubic feet, an excellent showing for this class. The rear seats don't fold, but there's a trunk pass-through behind the center armrest for long objects.

Every ES comes loaded with driver assistance technology, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

A surround-view camera, parking sensors, and reverse automatic braking are available together on the Luxury for $835. These items are standard on the Ultra Luxury, along with a head-up display, which can be added to the other trims for $500.

The standard infotainment system includes an eight-inch touchscreen, 10 speakers, satellite and HD radio, three USB ports, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

The optional navigation system ($1,820) brings in a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Navigation is available in conjunction with a 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system for $2,900. Navigation is standard on the Ultra Luxury, so the Levinson system comes by itself for $1,080.

Wireless device charging is available on the base trim as part of the $2,410 Premium Package, which is standard on the Luxury and Ultra Luxury. The package isn't available on the F Sport.

The base trim for each model offers NuLuxe leatherette upholstery, 10-way power front seats, a sunroof, full LED exterior lighting, an adaptive suspension, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

The Premium Package ($2,410) adds heated and ventilated front seats, driver memory settings, a heated power-adjustable steering wheel, power-folding side mirrors, and automatic wipers with de-icers. The package requires the addition of the wood interior trim for $360. Individual options include a hands-free power trunk lid ($550), a rear power sunshade ($210), and triple-beam LED headlights ($1,215).

F Sport models carry firmer suspension tuning, 19-inch wheels, aluminum interior trim, and sportier trim throughout. While the Premium Package isn't offered, ventilated and heated front seats are standard on the F Sport. Available on the ES 350 only is the F Sport Dynamic Handling Package ($1,650) with an adaptive sport suspension, a Sport Plus driving mode, and a power-adjustable steering wheel.

The Luxury trim builds on the base model with genuine leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, a 14-way power driver seat, and 18-inch wheels. The Premium Package is also standard.

The Ultra Luxury picks up quilted semi-aniline leather seating and lateral performance dampers for enhanced ride and handling. The hands-free trunk lid and power rear sunshade are included as well.
