Performance: | 7.8 |
The 2021 Lexus ES has well-rounded performance. It rides comfortably on uneven road surfaces yet remains stable around turns. Its four- and six-cylinder engines provide sufficient power for everyday driving, and the transmission operates smoothly. Good fuel economy is another highlight.
The four-cylinder engine shuttles the ES around town with sufficient punch, but it feels short on power at higher speeds. The V6 feels more energetic in both scenarios. The transmission shifts smoothly and promptly.
Gas mileage in the ES 250 is good for a luxury midsize car. For even better fuel economy, check out the Lexus ES Hybrid, which we review separately.
The Lexus ES succeeds at blending a comfortable ride with reasonably agile handling. The suspension sops up bumps and dips in the pavement smoothly, there isn’t much body lean around turns, and the steering feels quick and responsive.
