The ES sedan is luxurious, quiet and comfortable, but not very sporty. Rear seating is spacious enough to practically make this an intermediate limousine. However, the center of the rear seat is pretty uncomfortable due to the retractable armrest. The 268-hp V6 and six-speed automatic are both well-proven components. The Hybrid uses a four-cylinder 154-hp gas engine combined with a 67-hp electric motor and a CVT.
