While many automakers are streamlining their lineups to accommodate the SUV craze, Lexus knows the appeal of a luxury sedan. There’s still a substantial market for sedans, especially among those who value a refined and sophisticated car that offers a transformative and opulent experience behind the wheel. The 2024 Lexus ES for sale on our showroom floor promises as much, rising in the ranks as the best-valued sedan in the segment.
The ES has a long tenure in the Lexus fleet, debuting as a compact car in the late 1980s and then as a midsize executive sedan in the 1990s. Today, the 2024 Lexus ES is in its seventh generation and offers one of the segment’s most expansive lineups that caters to every driving style and performance need. Available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, the Lexus ES offers over a dozen configurations, from opulent trims like the ES250 Luxury and ES300h Ultra Luxury to the performance-oriented ES300h F Sport Handling.
While the ES’s expansive lineup is awe-inspiring to those who appreciate having plenty of options, there’s something far more remarkable about the 2024 Lexus ES. Lexus designs the ES to offer tangible value with its expansive suite of standard and available comfort and convenience features. These lay the groundwork for an exceptional experience in the driver’s seat and stretch the entire spectrum of upscale interior details and plush seating to advanced technologies that keep you safe, informed, and connected.
Interior Design Details
One look inside the 2024 ES, and there’s no question it’s a luxury sedan. Lexus outfits the ES with a patented NuLuxe interior trim or quilted and perforated semi-aniline leather. The NuLuxe is the standard upholstery in the ES lineup and is touted for being eco-friendly, durable, supple, gorgeous in color, and easy to maintain. Alternatively, higher-tier trims like the Luxury and Ultra Luxury get the real deal, with the semi-aniline leather pigmented in a beautiful shade and offering exceptional longevity and durability that guarantees the ES ages gracefully without compromising your comfort.
ES F Sport models blend luxury and performance, swapping the high-end semi-aniline leather for Circuit-Red trimmed sport seats with enhanced bolsters to give it that high-performance feel. Lexus also exchanges the standard wood trim elements with integrated ambient lighting for a Hadori Aluminum trimming. Inspired by the traditional Japanese sword-making technique, this trimming showcases Lexus’ impeccable attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Appreciating these details and the luxuries of the ES’s elegant interior is even more enjoyable when you opt for the panorama glass roof. Its seamless design blends into the sedan’s roofline so that it doesn’t take away from the overall aesthetic or alter the ES’s distinct profile. Inside, it lets more natural light into the cabin than a conventional moonroof, making it feel more spacious and extending the ES’s headroom that complements the sedan’s class-leading legroom across the front and second rows. Other perks, like the F Sport models' heated and ventilated front seats, offer next-level comfort and sweeten the ES’s packaging.
Digital Displays, Connectivity, and Navigational Tools
Lexus recognizes the importance of keeping drivers connected to their lives beyond the driver’s seat and the crucial balance of maintaining that connectivity without adding distraction. The interface of every vehicle on the lot of Lexus dealerships strikes the perfect balance and is designed as an extension of the driver, offering a personalized multimedia experience via an expansive center touchscreen display. The standard 8.0-inch or available 12.3-inch display features Drive Connect with Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assist, Destination Assist, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. You’ll also enjoy seamless integration with hands-free access via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning apps like Waze, Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Audiobooks are also readily accessible.
As you tap into the ES’s connectivity features, you’ll find that listening to your favorite podcast and streaming your music is an immersive experience because of the sedan’s incredible sound system. Lexus gives drivers an in-cabin concert with the optional Mark Levinson Pureplay Surround Sound System. With 17 speakers strategically placed throughout the cabin, the 1,800-watt system is extraordinary.
Convenience Features
You’re navigating rush-hour traffic, which means your focus needs to be ahead of you and not anywhere else. However, you’d like to adjust the cabin temperature and turn the heater on. Fortunately, you can with the ES’s Intelligent Assistant. With a quick “Hey Lexus,” the Intelligent Assistant can control almost all the in-car functions, from adjusting the temperature in the cabin and changing the channel on the radio to navigating a different route or adjusting the audio volume.
The Intelligent Assistant is an incredible convenience feature designed to enhance your experience behind the wheel. Fortunately, the ES also offers plenty of other tools that add convenience when you aren’t in the driver’s seat. For example, the Lexus App with Remote Connect lets you remotely start the ES, schedule service, monitor diagnostics, and more from an app on your smartphone or smartwatch. The tool guarantees the ES is always ready for your next adventure and offers added peace of mind by putting you in control even when you’re away from the luxury sedan.
Safety and Driver-Assist Technologies
The ES is a sophisticated sedan with an upscale interior, refined aesthetic, and plenty of conveniences that make your life easier on the road. It’s also equipped with advanced safety and driver-assist technologies that heighten your confidence in the driver’s seat. This confidence is integral to your experience, giving you the peace of mind to navigate your weekday commute, run errands, or venture beyond the city limits with your significant other.
The 2024 Lexus ES comes with the renowned Lexus Safety System+ 2.5. The suite equips every ES in the lineup with a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist, Intelligent High Beams, and All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. While tools like the Pre-Collision System monitor ahead of the ES, the lane-oriented technologies help you control the sedan and ensure it's safely centered in its lane. Other features, like Road Sign Assist and All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, are designed to improve your cruising experience on the highway. Since the tools work at highway speeds and in stop-and-go traffic, you have more opportunities to enjoy every drive.
Lexus enhances the ES’s safety suite with additional features, like a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Intuitive Parking Assist with Auto Braking, and Rear Pedestrian Detection. These features work behind the scenes, alerting you to potential obstacles at the rear or helping you maneuver the ES into a designated parking space to make parallel parking a breeze. Additions like the Panoramic View Monitor complement these tools, with the monitor using four cameras to offer expansive views around the sedan that heighten your situational awareness.
Beyond the ES’s expansive suite of standard and available safety and driver-assist features, you can enjoy additional technologies that put everything you need within immediate view. Lexus offers a 10.2-inch full-color head-up display as part of the ES’s available package options. The display projects your speed, mileage, safety alerts, navigational cues, and other critical data on the windshield, optimizing your focus and safety wherever the road takes you.
The Best-Value Sedan in the Segment
From wireless smartphone changing and integration to advanced driver-assist tools, a premium leather interior, remote start features, and countless other conveniences, it’s easy to see why the 2024 Lexus ES is the best-valued sedan in the segment. It’s luxurious and sophisticated, well-equipped, and incredibly versatile. It’s everything you expect and more in a midsize executive sedan, making it a top find on our showroom floor and a must-have for customers who value sophistication and opulence without compromise.
