The model
Read full reviewThere’s an awful lot to recommend the Lexus ES. For the most part it’s comfortable, quiet and spacious, and the running costs for company car drivers are below those of many diesel rivals. It's just a pity that its engine sounds coarse when you work it hard, and that its infotainment system is a faff to use.
The trim
See full equipmentThis adds a sporting touch to the styling of the ES, with 19in wheels, black exterior detailing and adaptive suspension.
The engine
See full engine specsThis 2.5-litre petrol engine is the sole option available in the ES range. It has 215bhp and takes 8.9sec to get from 0-62mph before reaching a top speed of 112mph. This comes with an automatic gearbox and is front-wheel-drive only, but the hybrid system helps lower CO2 emissions and reach an official 50mpg.
