Lexus ES - Driving Performance

The engine, which employs a series of advanced technologies such as variable capacity oil pump and valve timing by electric motor, is among the best in the world for thermal efficiency of its class, promising lower fuel consumption and more responsiveness.

Lexus ES - Ride Comfort

While the suspension is supple and easily soaks up bumps from potholes without transferring the shocks to the passengers, it is still firm enough to keep body roll in check during fast cornering. Steering is also more precise and accurate with the electric steering motor being placed at the rack instead of the steering column in the previous generation ES.

Being non-turbo, power delivery is immediate and silky smooth with very little engine noise or exhaust roar intrusion into the cabin. Even at high speeds, the interior remains whisper quiet as good aerodynamics, acoustic glass and noise insulation materials work nicely to keep unwanted sounds muffled.
