The Lexus ES is a midsize luxury sedan with a smooth ride and plush cabin built for comfort. Three engines are available, including a whisper-quiet hybrid, and the large interior is one of the most refined in its class. All major driver safety aids are standard and easy to use. Upper trims have features like a heated steering wheel and a hands-free power trunk. While many rivals try to be sports sedans, the Lexus ES prioritizes sheer comfort.

The ES 250 comes with a 203-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine. It runs on regular unleaded fuel and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive. The drivetrain is typically in front-wheel-drive mode until sensors determine more grip is needed. At that time, an electromagnetic-controlled coupling on the rear axle engages and starts sending power to the rear wheels. It's a smart system and enables the ES to still get an EPA-estimated 28 mpg overall.

The ES 350 uses the 3.5-liter V6 Lexus likes using in many of its cars. It's an exceptionally smooth and refined engine, and it provides 302 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. It makes the ES significantly peppier to drive, though it isn't exactly sporty. Front-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic come standard, and the ES 350 should return 26 mpg combined.

Buyers wanting better fuel efficiency and an even quieter driving experience will love the ES 300h. It pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor that gets its power from a lithium-ion battery located beneath the rear seats. Together, this system provides 44 mpg, which is superb for a luxury car. A continuously variable transmission and front-wheel-drive are included.
