It's no secret that Lexus’ midsize sedan is about comfort first, followed closely by a refined, quiet ride. With the launch of the seventh generation, the roomier, more high-tech interior preserves these ES staples, while the addition of an F SPORT variant brings a more dynamic appearance and driving experience to the table. The venerable 3.5-litre V6 now produces 302 horsepower; those who opt for the 215-horsepower ES 300h will benefit from Toyota’s fourth-generation hybrid system.
