Toyota has a new Camry on the market, and Lexus follows with an new ES based on the same chassis with more equipment. That’s the way things have always been. Yet somehow the new one that was just unveiled for the 2013 model year is better in a lot of other aspects.
The entry luxury sedan of the Lexus range arrives with two powertrains, the regular ES 350 with a 3.5-liter and the hybrid ES 300, which has hidden exhausts and can even drive in electric mode for a short duration of time, thanks to a stronger battery.
Lexus has really done things it own way, fitting a distinctive grille and standard fog lights, which means even if you buy the basic model it won’t look cheap. Inside, we were impressed with the all-new remote touch interface which looks like a leather-covered computer mouse.
