5 reasons to buy the 2023 Lexus ES 350

1. Upscale interior

If you're shopping for a midsize luxury sedan, don't miss the 2023 Lexus ES 350. You'll appreciate the high-end materials and design, with lots of soft-touch leather surfaces, wood and chrome trim, detailed stitching, and a padded glove box. The plush and supportive seats allow passengers to relax in luxurious comfort, no matter how long the drive is. With 42.4 inches of legroom in the front and 39.2 inches in the back, even your tallest passengers will enjoy this spacious, upscale sedan.

2. Smooth and quiet ride

When you and your passengers enter the 2023 Lexus ES 350, you'll be pampered by a sense of isolation from the outside world. The hushed cabin tames road and tire noise, and the hum of the engine is almost imperceptible. Not only that, but the compliant suspension enables you to glide over rough roads, keeping the vehicle steady as you cruise toward your destination. Don't be surprised if you feel your cares start to melt away as you settle into this luxury sedan.

3. Ample power

5. F Sport trims

You'll love the performance-inspired styling, with a bold, eye-catching exterior that features aggressive front and rear fascia, a rear spoiler, and 19-inch wheels with a Gloss Black finish. The interior is just as enthralling, with a sport steering wheel and sport-bolstered front seats. Opt for the F Sport Handling trim to get an adaptive suspension system that offers maximum responsiveness. And if you crave that sports car sound, you'll love the way the F Sport Handling growls when you put your foot down.
