2019 Lexus ES Gallery

The Lexus ES may not be the most memorable model of the automaker's line-up, but that doesn't mean it's not important. Indeed, as the best-seller of Lexus' sedans, there's plenty riding on the ES' success. For the 2019 model year, then, Lexus has focused on making the new car a lot more distinctive.

That means bold styling borrowing cues from the rest of the Lexus range, and new engines – one gas-only, the ES 350, and a new hybrid, the ES 300h – with greater power and economy. There's an all-new interior, too, with features like Apple CarPlay. Active safety technology has increased as well, with better talents at keeping the new ES in the center of the lane.

Meanwhile, for the first time in ES history, there's going to be an F SPORT version too. No power increase, but styling changes to the exterior and interior make the car even more eye-catching. Adaptive suspension replacing the standard dampers should increase the enthusiasm of the ride, too.
