Power and Efficiency Perfected: Engine Options in the 2024 ES
The 2024 ES lineup offers impressive power and fuel efficiency across its engine options, ensuring a dynamic driving experience without compromising on economy.
The ES 350 is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine designed to deliver responsive acceleration and exceptional efficiency. It features the D-4S fuel injection system, which combines high-pressure injectors delivering fuel directly into the combustion chamber with a low-pressure system supplying fuel to the intake ports. Additionally, Variable Valve Timing-intelligence Wide (VVT-iW) allows the engine to seamlessly switch between the Otto cycle for spirited driving and the Atkinson cycle for optimal efficiency during low power demand.
Generating 302 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 267 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm, the 3.5-liter V6 delivers impressive performance. With an EPA-estimated MPG rating of 22/32/26 (city/highway/combined), it strikes an excellent balance between power and efficiency. The engine is paired with an 8-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission, further enhancing the driving experience.
For those seeking enhanced traction and all-weather capability, the ES 250 AWD offers the ideal solution. This model features a 2.5-liter L4 engine combined with all-wheel drive. The torque is distributed to all four wheels, providing improved acceleration and minimizing tire slip during low-traction conditions. The Dynamic Torque Control AWD system ensures effective traction while minimizing the impact on fuel economy. It can direct up to 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels, responding to acceleration or slippage at the front wheels. When AWD is not required, the system disengages the propeller shaft to prioritize fuel efficiency, seamlessly re-engaging when needed.
The ES 300h takes a different approach with its hybrid powertrain. It combines a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine operating on the Atkinson cycle with a smaller, more power-dense electric motor and a hybrid transaxle. This results in a combined total system horsepower of 215 and an impressive EPA-estimated MPG rating of 43/44/44 (city/highway/combined). The ES 300h features a lithium-ion battery located underneath the back seat, optimizing trunk space and improving front-to-rear weight distribution for enhanced handling.
To provide a more engaging driving experience, the hybrid control system in the ES 300h aligns engine speed closely with vehicle speed, delivering a linear acceleration feel. Engaging the Sport drive mode further enhances acceleration by boosting torque at lower speeds, while paddle shifters allow drivers to shift through six simulated gears for precise control.
The engine options in the 2024 ES offer a perfect blend of power, efficiency, and driving dynamics, ensuring an exhilarating and eco-friendly driving experience for Lexus enthusiasts.

In the realm of aesthetics, the 2024 ES offers an impressive range of wheel designs that serve as the perfect complement to its exterior styling. The standard 17-inch wheels feature spoke ends arranged in twin v-spoke formations, creating a sporty impression heightened by a Dark Metallic and Machined finish. For those seeking an even more striking look, the Base model with Premium Package and Luxury trims come with a larger 18-inch wheel.

Meanwhile, the ES F SPORT models showcase exclusive 19-inch split five-spoke alloy wheels, finished in Gloss Black.
