Lexus ES 350
The new ES is 1.8 inches wider, 2.6 inches longer and 0.2 inch lower compared to the outgoing model. A wheelbase stretch of 2 inches has pushed the wheels closer to the car's four corners, giving it a more planted appearance with less generous overhangs.

The new cabin places the instrument panel and the infotainment display screen closer together, for a more driver-centric feel (as well as to keep the driver's attention on the road), while the passenger space is designed to promote relaxation during long trips.

Rear seat passenger comfort has long been a hallmark of the ES, and the seventh-generation model still prioritizes rear package capability despite the sleeker exterior roofline," Lexus says. A lower hip point and a carefully configured headliner preserve headroom while the longer wheelbase delivers generous legroom.


ES 350 are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 producing 302 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, gaining 34 hp and 19 lb-ft over the previous-generation V6 unit. A new eight-speed automatic transmission with Direct Shift uses an ultra-thin torque converter, in addition to a multiplate lockup clutch for better-timed and quicker shifts, sending the power to the front wheels. This new eight-speed has a wider spread of ratios and is better able to use the high torque gears for quicker launches, as well as taller gears for greater fuel efficiency on the highway.

An all-new Atkinson-cycle 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with a new electric motor and self-charging hybrid system serves up 215 hp and a combined preliminary rating of 44 mpg. This new 2.5-liter is more efficient, and the new electric motor is smaller and more power-dense. Taken together, the engine and the motor have been designed to better emulate the power and feel of a traditional gasoline engine.
