With a heritage stretching back to 1989, the Lexus ES 300 is one of the stalwarts of the Lexus fleet. This reliable and elegant car stood as the flagship model for the brand for years, and is still regarded as a true thoroughbred sedan that has a surprisingly punchy powertrain for a mid-size vehicle. 
As the generations moved on, the ES 300 became more refined, delivering an upscale and premium feel that combined sporty lines and the elegance of a luxury sedan. A more aerodynamic body shape improves fuel efficiency on the later models, as well as giving the whole vehicle a more curvaceous appearance.

As with every Lexus, the detailing delivers interior comfort and exterior elegance. The cabin in an ES 300 is spacious, providing plenty of room for both driver and passengers. The sound dampening keeps a sense of serenity inside but without entirely detaching the driver from the road feedback. Later models come packed with extras such as , keyless entry systems, touch-screen infotainment systems and navigation, and Lexus’ exceptional safety features. On the later generation you’ll also get that iconic spindle grille front fascia.

The powertrain is a classic in-line four-cylinder 2.0L engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission for smoother power delivery. The front-wheel drive set-up ensures that it handles beautifully through corners, yet that 2.0L engine delivers enough power to cope with longer road trips and highway driving. Around town it’s well-behaved and easy to manoeuvre even through the heaviest traffic, with good fuel consumption and refined handling. Extras such as rear-view cameras make it easy to park.
