Lexus ES
The Lexus ES 350 is available in five trim levels: Standard, F-sport, F-sport Handling, Luxury and Ultra Luxury. Lastly, a standalone ES Black Line Special Edition which takes much of the F Sport styling and adds a special level of luxury to the mix. All ES 350 vehicles are equipped with a V6 engine producing 302 horsepower and 267 foot-pounds of torque which sends power to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic. A hybrid version of the Lexus ES, dubbed the ES 300h, uses a 2.5 Liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a 29.1 kW motor, which is good for 215 system horsepower and a combined 44mpg. The ES 250 is an all-wheel drive variant powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that makes 203 horsepower and 184 foot-pounds of torque. It is split into four trims, with the 250 AWD, Luxury AWD, Ultra Luxury AWD and F Sport Design AWD models.
The 350 F Sport and Black Line Special edition include adaptive dampening control, which increases chassis stiffness in corners while maintaining comfort during highway driving conditions. Also added are unique 19-inch wheels, an F Sport grille, unique seat upholstery, a rear spoiler and Hadori aluminum interior trim.
