2025 Lexus ES Review

2025 Lexus ES 250

2025 ES 250 models are powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and represent the entry level of this midsize luxury car. With 203 horsepower on tap and 184 pound-feet of torque, the ES 250 models deliver robust performance while optimizing fuel efficiency, which we'll cover shortly.

Opting for a new Lexus ES with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine grants you all-wheel drive (AWD) as standard equipment. All other Lexus ES engines are paired with front-wheel drive (FWD), making the ES 250 lineup an attractive option for those seeking confident, all-weather performance at a competitive price point.

The 2025 Lexus ES 250 line offers the following styles to choose from:

• ES 250 AWD
• ES 250 Luxury AWD
• ES 250 Ultra Luxury AWD
• ES 250 F SPORT Design AWD

2025 Lexus ES 350

Powering the lineup of 2025 Lexus 350 sedans is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. With 302 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, it's even more potent than the all-wheel-drive ES 250 models.

Like the ES 250, the new ES 350 sedans get a Direct-Shift eight-speed automatic transmission. Its more powerful engine is paired with FWD.

Some similar trim levels are offered here, but the ES 350 has even more editions to choose from than the four-cylinder model:

• ES 350
• ES 350 Luxury
• ES 350 Ultra Luxury
• ES 350 F SPORT Design
• ES 350 F SPORT Handling
• ES Black Line Special Edition

A standout among these ES 350 styles is the Black Line Special Edition, one of the most significant updates that followed the 2025 Lexus ES reveal. This Black Line Special Edition is part of the 2025 Lexus ES 350 redesign, so if you want its unique styling, you'll need to opt for this 302-horsepower model.

2025 Lexus ES 300h

For those seeking next-level efficiency in their new midsize luxury sedan, turn to the new Lexus ES 300h models. These 2025 Lexus ES hybrid sedans get the Lexus Hybrid Drive system, equipped with a high-output electric-drive motor with EV mode. An electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and front-wheel drive come standard.

Familiar trim names and features are offered on this 2025 Lexus ES hybrid model:

• ES 300h
• ES 300h Luxury
• ES 300h Ultra Luxury
• ES 300h F SPORT Design
• ES 300h F SPORT Handling

2025 Lexus ES Specs: MPG Ratings and More

---

We've covered the three distinct powertrains of the new Lexus ES lineup and their performance levels, but there's far more to consider when searching for your favorite version of this midsize luxury car.

Another aspect to consider is miles per gallon, or MPG, as this specification varies by ES model and even the style in some instances. It may come as no surprise that the 2025 Lexus ES hybrid variant, the ES 300h, is the most fuel-efficient. Its Lexus Hybrid Drive system is designed for maximum efficiency in city and highway driving. This hybrid luxury car earns up to an EPA-estimated 43/44 MPG (City/Highway)¹ rating, eclipsing most other similarly sized luxury sedans on the market today.
