The 2009 Lexus ES (also known as the ES 350) is a well-designed luxury sedan. With seating for five passengers and a powerfully equipped drivetrain, the Lexus ES is one of the most highly appointed models in its class. The high MSRP could certainly deter a large number of buyers, but the ES is worth every penny. Just one trim level is enough for this model, as it is loaded with advanced technology and bonus features that surpass the competition. Rated as an Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle, the ES is sure to impress the eco-conscious buyers as well.
Under the hood, the Lexus ES 350 is equipped with a 272 horsepower 3.5L V6 engine that can reach 0-60 mph in less than seven seconds. A six-speed automatic transmission allows drivers to cruise at higher speeds in a lower rpm which can save on fuel consumption. Also, the dual exhaust system allows the engine to perform at its peak, while Dual Variable Valve Timing controls both the intake and exhaust valves for higher performance and fuel efficiency. With these additions, the ES is able to get around 19 city MPG and 27 highway MPG. Though the fuel economy is impressive, compared to the Cadillac STS, it simply cannot compete with flex-fuel and hybrid models on the market. Four-wheel independent suspension gives the ES both a smoother ride and improved handling.
