Just bought the ES 350 Ultra Luxury after having a GS 300 for 23 years. Really like it... Like the infotainment center with real buttons below. Ride is great. Nice clean review. Thank you.

I have a Camry and just purchased a 2025 ES. Totally different cars to me. I got about 7.5% off. I didn't feel like walking away and coming back to fight for the 10% I know I could have gotten. I fooled around and fell in love with the interior color scheme and was afraid it would be gone. So I purchased it on the first day negotiating.

*Most* of the Uber cars in the UAE are ES hybrids as the fleet was initially standardised, until they let other brands in. But still on average when you call an Uber, you expect an ES. Smooth, comfortable, and quiet ride. As usual, thanks for the great video.

I have a 2017 ES350 smooth as butter but want to upgrade to newer model before V6 is discontinued..no hybrid for this guy.😊😊

I think you deserve a special shout-out for the title of this review. It sums up in six words why I got mine when I did.

The es is one of the best sedans i have driven, agreed it’s the luxury version of the camry, but totally different compared to camry . wish there was es 350 awd but they had the 250 awd toowhich is rav4 engine and not that great !!

I currently drive a 2020 Acura TLX and interesting in trading in for 2025 Lexus ES 350. After test drive the vehicle, I like the roomier cabin and more comfortable, quiet ride. I was consider of getting a SUV due to option of four-wheel-vehicle and additional space, but I don't really need the space or utility and I also don't see myself paying nearly the same or more money when this vehicle surprisingly is not bad price despite the lack of AWD available in the V6 model. I test drove the new TLX and while is quite an upgrade for me, the lack of space and so-so touch pad was a deal breaker for me.

It seems all cars are going hybrid. You have to scoop up any NA car while you have a chance.

I'm going to wait for the 2026 ES redesign, then make my decision as to go with that or the RX350.

[BradSD]

I was shocked that it didn’t get a redesign for ‘25. Virtually every outlet said there would be a complete overhaul. How did they all get it wrong ?

[hvnguyen]

Waiting on that next gen hybrid system in an ES

[christofonobrown]

Great vehicle, one of the last vehicles that you can buy today and drive for as many years as you would like.

What would you choose with regards to comfort/driving balance. Lexus ES vs BMW 5 Series?

Honestly I own one of these. 2021 F sport. It’s rather problematic not even for a Lexus but for a car in general. My transmission had to be replaced at 40k miles bc it was so clunky the dealership was advised by Lexus to change it out. The interior trim, while made with really great materials especially considering the price class, is put together in a shoddy fashion. of creaks and rattles most especially from the center console when you place your elbow on it and the door panels as well. They rattle when the music volume is up only 1/4 of the way to max. My right headlight started leaking water and needed a $4k whole headlight housing replacement. My gear shifter is about to fall apart- it is so loose and the button sticks everytime. My IS had none of these issues. That’s the difference of Kentucky made VS Japan made. The ES is made by Americans in Kentucky. IS still built in Japan where if they do a bad job they need to kick the bucket.- with that being said… it’s a fabulous sexy sedan with a smooth V6 that will run forever. But man I understand why they are taking ES production back to Japan

The hybrid version is my favorite. Only time it falls short is on wot. Eve this not flooring it often.

[notsodelusional]

When they get the fifth generation hybrid system in the ES, it will be top notch. I hope they make it clearly superior to the Camry equivalent. Plus we’ll be able to get AWD.

I have thought about grabbing a V6 ES before they end production.

Related note: I think the people who got the GX before the redesign made a good decision.

Excellent work as always!

Trying to buy a 2022 model year. First year refresh before they ruined the es by ditching the CD player, aux audio input and touchpad.

[romany]

Did they start the android phone integration? Or is it still iPhone only?

[philipbaio]

[johnvalle]
