2025 Lexus ES 350 Premium

The ES is Lexus's mid-size sedan, the one that goes up against the Acura TLX and Genesis G80. It's tuned for calm, effortless cruising rather than sporty thrills, and it does that very well. The ride is supple and the cabin stays whisper-quiet, so long highway miles feel short. Inside, you get a spacious, beautifully finished cabin with supportive seats and a big trunk. The Premium is the one to pick if you want the heated and ventilated NuLuxe seats and a power moonroof without stepping up to the Luxury trim. Its 3.5L V6 makes 301 horsepower and pairs with a smooth eight-speed automatic, so it pulls strongly from a stop and cruises quietly at highway speeds. The Drive Mode Select lets you switch between Eco, Normal, and Sport, which sharpens the throttle and transmission response for a more engaging feel when you want it.
