Overview

The 2019 Lexus ES 350 Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With 3 trims on offer, the Lexus ES 350 has a base MSRP of $39,750, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $43,400. It competes directly with the Acura TLX, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the INFINITI Q70. Only a 3.5L V6 engine is offered, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds, the ES 350 maintains a combined fuel economy of 26 MPG. Lexus offers the ES 350 in 10 stunning colors, with the Atomic Silver being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

It is obvious that as you go up the trim range, the luxury and features increase. However, we advise you to stick with the base trim and invest the extra money in Premium Package, Navigation Package, wireless charger, and head-up display.
