An Option for Everyone
The Lexus ES rides on the
Global Architecture-K (GA-K) platform, a rigid front-wheel drive
chassis made from several grades of high-strength steel. Laser
screw welding, a construction method shared with the LS sedan, UXh
and RZ battery-electric vehicle, makes for a truly robust
structure. A strut tower brace, multiple reinforcement panels for
the strut towers themselves, and radiator support braces are also
used to enhance front-end stiffness.
The suspension is tuned for ideal responsiveness for the
chassis. The front suspension features a strut angle that aligns at
the ideal angle to improve ride quality. The Dynamic Control Shocks
are capable of responding to even the smallest movements thanks to
a non-overlapping auxiliary valve that allows damper oil to flow in
either direction before entering the main valve. The rear
suspension design utilizes a trailing arm and a multilink setup
that also benefits from the responsiveness of the Dynamic Control
Shocks. Higher placement of the trailing arm mounting point and a
larger bushing size assist in dampening road irregularities. Wider
spacing of the stabilizer bushing mounts can also contribute to
overall roll reduction.
The ES 350 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that is designed to
deliver responsive acceleration along with impressive efficiency.
The V6 features the D-4S fuel injection system which uses
high-pressure injectors to deliver fuel directly into the
combustion chamber along with a low-pressure system that delivers
fuel to the intake ports. Together with the addition of Variable
Valve Timing-intelligence Wide (VVT-iW) for the intake valves, the
engine is capable of operating on either the traditional Otto cycle
during sporty driving or the more efficient Atkinson cycle when
power demand is low.
The 3.5-liter V6 is rated to produce 302 horsepower at 6,600 rpm
and 267 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm with an EPA-estimated MPG
rating of 22/32/25 (city/highway/combined). To complement the power
of the updated V6, an 8-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission
is also used.
The Lexus ES 250 AWD sends torque to all four wheels, enabling
the 2.5-liter L4 engine to power through conditions when traction
is low to allow better acceleration with less tire slip. Dynamic
Torque Control AWD assists with providing effective traction for
inclement and slippery weather, directing up to 50 percent of
engine torque to the rear wheels, in response to acceleration from
a start or slippage at the front wheels. When AWD isn't needed, the
electromagnetic controlled coupling on the rear drive axle
disengages the propeller shaft to help prioritize fuel
efficiency.
The ES 300h's 2.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine running on the
Atkinson cycle is coupled with a smaller, more power dense electric
motor and a hybrid transaxle. The results are a combined 215 total
system horsepower and a EPA-estimated MPG rating of 43/44/44
(city/highway/combined). A lithium-ion battery is located
underneath the back seat, freeing up trunk space, and improving the
front-to-rear weight distribution to help with better handling.
The ES 300h features a hybrid control system designed to deliver
a more linear acceleration feel by aligning engine speed more
closely with vehicle speed. Engaging the Sport drive mode further
enhances acceleration by boosting torque at lower speeds while
paddle shifters can be used to move through six simulated gears for
more precise control.
F SPORT Flare
Based on the ES equipped with the
Premium Package, the F SPORT Design is offered on all three
powertrains (ES 350, ES 250 AWD and ES 300h) and adds F SPORT
19-inch split five-spoke alloy wheels with a Gloss Black finish and
F SPORT exterior styling, including a unique front bumper, grille
surround and rear spoiler. Intuitive Parking Assist comes standard
with other available features that include a Mark Levinson sound system, power rear sunshade,
panorama roof, triple beam LED headlamps and power trunk with kick
sensor.
In addition, the F SPORT Handling grade is available on ES 350
and ES 300h, further enhancing the driving appearance and
sportiness of the Lexus ES. Based on the exterior of the ES F SPORT
Design grade, the ES F SPORT Handling grade comes standard with
Sport+ and Custom Drive modes, Intuitive Parking Assist, F
SPORT-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), heated F SPORT
steering wheel and Hadori aluminum trim, aluminum pedals and black
headliner.
Inside the cabin, buyers have the option to equip their ES F
SPORT Handling with additional features, including a Mark Levinson 17-speaker, 1,800-watt PurePlay
Surround Sound system and a power rear sunshade. On the exterior, F
SPORT Handling options include premium triple-beam LED headlamps
and power trunk with kick sensor.
Provocative Elegance, Refined
The ES features a
dynamic stance and a sleek, coupe-like silhouette inherited from
the flagship LS. The Lexus Signature Grille headlines the front end
with striking Bi-LED headlamps. A power tilt-slide moonroof comes
standard on all models with an available panorama glass roof
providing a unique outer-sliding design that creates a seamless
appearance while providing ample natural light.
The 2025 ES offers a wide array of wheel designs that add the
finishing touch to the exterior design. A standard 17-inch wheel
featuring spoke ends layered in twin v-spoke formations with
Dark Metallic and Machined finish produces a sporty
impression. A larger 18-inch wheel is available on Base with
Premium Package and standard on Luxury trims, featuring a split
10-spoke design with two-tone Dark machined finish. An 18-inch
five-spoke alloy noise reduction wheel with Vapor Chrome finish is
available on Luxury and standard on Ultra Luxury trims. ES F SPORT
models get exclusive 19-inch split five-spoke alloy wheels with a
Gloss Black finish that accentuates the model's sporty
exterior.
The 2025 ES offers 10 exterior colors including Eminent White
Pearl1, Iridium1, Cloudburst
Gray1, Obsidian, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Moonbeam
Beige Metallic, Sunlit Green, and Nightfall Mica. Ultra
White1 remains exclusive to F SPORT and is only
available on F SPORT Design and F SPORT Handling.

Lexus Safety System+ 2.5
The 2025 ES comes standard
with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, which brings a suite of key active
safety and convenience features to the vehicle. This system
includes:
Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian
Detection
Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian
Detection is designed to help detect a vehicle, pedestrian or
cyclist and provide an audio/visual forward collision warning under
certain circumstances. If the driver does not react, the system is
designed to provide automatic emergency braking at speeds between
approximately 7-110 mph. PCS uses a camera and millimeter-wave
radar for enhanced performance and reliability. Features for LSS+
2.5 include:
- Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist – designed to
provide additional steering torque during an emergency maneuver
initiated by the driver, enhancing vehicle stability and helping
prevent lane departure. This steering support function is designed
to operate when the Pre-Collision System is turned ON, the turn
signal is not being operated, the speed of the vehicle is between
25-50 mph and the relative speed to the detected object is between
25-50 mph.
- Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection/Braking
– designed to provide a warning and automatic braking if
the system determines a driver is turning left in front of an
oncoming vehicle in certain daytime conditions.
All-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
An
adaptive cruise control system intended for highway use that uses
radar and camera technology to help keep the vehicle at a preset
speed and distance from vehicles ahead, even in stop-and-go
traffic. If the system detects the vehicle getting closer than the
preset distance, it automatically slows the vehicle — even to a
complete stop. At highway speeds, when the road ahead clears, the
vehicle returns to its preset speed.
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)
When DRCC is enabled and
lane markers are detected, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) uses the lines
on the road and/or preceding vehicles to provide active driving
assistance and help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)
–
When white/yellow lane markings or certain road edge
boundary lines are detected at speeds above 30 mph, Lane Departure
Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) is designed to issue an
audio/visual lane departure warning if an inadvertent lane
departure is detected. If the driver does not take corrective
action, the system is also designed to provide gentle corrective
steering for lane keeping assistance.
Road Sign Assist (RSA)
Using an intelligent camera,
Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to detect speed limit signs,
stop signs, Do Not Enter signs, yield signs and certain warning
signs, and displays an icon of the sign on the Multi-Information
Display (MID).
