The new Lexus ES 350 has been one of the most popular luxury sedans in the automaker’s lineup. The ES 350 continues to be a great choice for someone looking for a smaller sedan that isn’t short on upscale features. In this article, we will take a closer look at the 2022 Lexus ES 350.
Base Features
Lexus has given the ES 350 a refresh for the 2022 model year. Upgraded LED headlights, and redesigned grill, and an improved touchscreen infotainment center have been added for 2022. The ES 350 is available in four trim levels culminating with the Ultra Luxury model. The interior features upscale materials and comfortably seats five passengers.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The Lexus ES 350 comes standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The ES 350 is also available in a hybrid trim, the ES 350h, which is a paired hybrid engine capable of producing 215 hp. The 3.5-liter V-6 is capable of a 0-60 time of an impressive 6.1 seconds but does not sacrifice fuel economy. The gas-powered ES 350 is rated for a combined 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, while the ES 350h is rated at 43 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway.
The ES 350 is available in a front-wheel-drive configuration which combines quick acceleration with a smooth and responsive ride. Those that are looking for the smooth ride and nimble handling that has come to be expected from a Lexus won’t be disappointed by the ES 350. The F Sport trim and up are available with larger wheels that enhance the ES 350’s already nimble handling.
Connectivity and Safety
The ES 350 infotainment center and driver-assist technology have been given some major upgrades for 2022. This infotainment center has been moved closer to the driver for easier access. An 8-inch touchscreen is standard, but a larger 12.3-inch screen is optional on the ES 350. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Bluetooth, a GPS navigation system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, are all integrated into the infotainment center.
The ES 350 comes with one of the best packages of safety features in the industry. All ES 350 models come with Lexus’s Safety System+ 2.5 standard. This package includes several innovative driver-assistance features such as pedestrian and cyclist detection, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. Intersection Turning Assist, which can detect an oncoming vehicle or pedestrian, is also available.
Warranty Coverage
The ES 350 comes with one of the best manufacturer’s warranties on the market. The bumper-to-bumper warranty is good for 4 years or 50,000 miles, while the powertrain warranty is good for 6 years or 70,000 miles. Roadside assistance is available for 4 years, and complimentary maintenance is available for 1 year or 10,000 miles.
