Overview

The 2016 Lexus ES 350 makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With standalone trim on offer, the Lexus ES 350 has a base MSRP of $38,100. It competes directly with the Lincoln MKZ, the Acura TLX, and the Nissan Maxima. Only a 3.5L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 268 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.6 seconds, the ES 350 maintains a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. Lexus offers the ES 350 in 10 stunning colors, with the Atomic Silver being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

As Lexus ES 350 is offered as a standalone trim, it offers a host of package upgrades that add worthy luxury features. You can select the options as per your needs and budget, but the package you can’t afford to miss out on is the Safety System+ package.
