My first experience with Lexus was a very short ride in a buddy's 2015 GS350. I was blown away by how incredibly quiet and smooth it was. I personally drive a 2002 GMC Yukon XL, which in all fairness, there are many vehicles that'd be smoother and quieter than that. The driver aids were a bit annoying, but those can be turned off. I had my bag in the backseat and the car was dinging because the seatbelt wasn't buckled where my bag was. Weight sensitive. The GS350 was even the sport sedan. If the sporty car rides that well, I can't even imagine how well the ES rides. The ES350 Ultra Luxury will absolutely be my daily in the near future.

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

Lexus has very good Ride Quality. I get most brands to review and Lexus impresses me still amongst it's competition. Glad you got to check out the gs!

[@Tommy-Eagle-USA]

You didn't even touch on how ridiculously good the Mark Levinson surround system is, it completely changes the game. I have the 2023 of this model and they further improved it by removing the touch pad and made the screen entirely touch. I will say the 8 speed auto does suffer a bit from hunting for the right gear in slow speeds but any other drivetrain would be too weak to move this boat. The cherry on the top is the fact it takes regular gas too.

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

I've done a bunch of Lexus Reviews, I usually touch on it, but I don't listen to my music that loud so I forget sometimes to mention it. 😅 thanks for watching

The nice thing about this car is the interior, I love the blend design of both luxury and sport combined in one vehicle. The Toyota Camry looks pretty similar to it on the inside, however the Lexus ES350 just imagine you are sitting in a 5 star hotel lounge.

[@MrNathan07]

Lexus vehicles have to be some of the most comfortable I’ve ever sat in a while back me and my Dad looked at a ES 300h the hybrid version of the ES 350 (mainly just because it was on the lot and we were curious about it) and wow I couldn’t believe how nice the interior was your statement about it being like a 5 star hotel is spot on.

[@JeffreySmith1967]

Well done, you pick up a sub, you captured my enthusiasm with my new purchase. I picked up a 19 UL low miles in July. This car blows me away, you can't hear most semi's when they are right next to you on the highway. So comfy, good power, the Levinson sound system is excellent. Owned a 13 ES350 and this is so beyond that. Stupid reliability and low cost of ownership. Nice review, honest.

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

Appreciate the kind words, and enjoy your ride! Super nice car!

Premium is a package on the Base trim.

Great video

[@OldDood]

Well informed video Sir. Very well done. Thank You. I have been toying with the idea of getting my wife one of these. My wife simply adores her 2007 Camry XLE (6 Cylinder). Top of the Line back then. 15+ years old and still runs like new. It does not 'Float' over bumps as well as it use to but still pretty good. It still does 0-60mph in 6 seconds though. LOL Plus the Camry XLE has a 6 Disk CD Player that my wife does not want to give up. Does this Lexus have a CD Player? A Single Disk would be fine. However like you have stated that Lexus is a True Luxury Car.

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

I appreciate it. Yes it has a CD player located above the heated/Cooled seats buttons on the 2022. (Idk if it's multi disc or single) Not sure if the new ones have one or not. I should be getting a 2024 to review in the next few months.

[@Recklessboyz-]

Great video man I would say upgrade your camera equipment in the future tho

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

Thanks! I use DJI mini 3 drone. Go pro hero 10. And canon T6I. Only thing possible to upgrade is the Canon T6I, but I've got thousands in my setup now. Last year upgraded to MacBook pro laptop to edit as well. Once I make enough in return I'll upgrade the T6I. Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@marcverdi665]

Thanks for the review. I am debating on getting one of these or the IS350. The only thing I “worry” about it is the lack of AWD with the V6. If it had AWD, it’d be a no-brainer.

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

@marcverdi665 same for me! The is350 I've reviewed as well with AWD. Little smaller, not quite as smooth but still very good.

[@hoderharris]

It’s Jeeves not chives…great review , I have this car and concur with your thoughts…

[@youngworld6646]

Love it. Now it just needs all around soft close doors, larger Gas tank and full air ride suspension (2023)

[@tonysterbenc]

Kiss your affordability goodbye. And, remember a larger tank has its own compromises to both roominess and gas mileage/performance because of the extra weight and space. With the new model's pretty good gas mileage (even with V6), I personally haven't found the smaller tank to be any kind of practical inconvenience.

[@carsoncunningham7993]

Thanks for the video. If it was your money for an ES, 300H or 350?

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

Depends on your use honestly. If you need good gas mileage cause you drive alot I'm taking the 300h. If you want a faster car with the super reliable V6, I'd go 350. Appreciate you watching

[@RyanDoonan]

I just saw your video absolutely love and love the Lexus brand been wanting to get one I work in the car dealership also and we have a used Lexus ES300H 16 year and definitely would love to take it home anytime I have to go anywhere I take the Lexus

[@tonysterbenc]

You'd probably like the new one even better. With its brand new platform introduced for 2019, it still rides well and now handles better.

[@MVRWC]

Yes i would have liked an infotainment system review.

[@tonysterbenc]

I'll help: I own a 2022. It's the same as 2019-20-21, except it added desperately needed touch capability to the screen. In 2023 Lexus completely changed over to the new system used in the current RX and NX, complete with new faster software and completely different menus. Both touchscreen systems are reasonably intuitive to use. The biggest difference is that the new system supports wireless CarPlay.

[@MVRWC]

@@tonysterbenc yes I think that is a big drawback on the 19-21. Sounds like the 22 is a big improvement.

No issue with front wheel drive. Just always nice to have AWD as an option.

[@tonysterbenc]

Only under acceleration, when it's too easy to break the tires loose, especially when turning the wheel on on wet/icy pavement. See Savagegeese's 2019 and 2022 reviews of the ES 350 for details.

[@matthewweber1832]

You mentioned you own a VW Arteon, which is actually a car that I'm cross-shopping against the Lexus ES 350. How would you compare the two? I understand the ES 350 is likely a little more expensive than the Arteon, but is that additional cost worth it?

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

ES350 has better ride quality. Arteon feels sportier. ES350 has nicer materials, like soft leather. Arteon has hard plastics in many places but the tech in the Arteon is updated more then ES350. So all depends what you're looking for

@@TheCarReviewGuys how does the g90 ride in comparison too the lexus es350? Better ? Smoother?

[@tonysterbenc]

@@mikexcanxjerk I think you could reasonably expect the G90 to have a softer ride. It's bigger, heavier, has costlier suspension components, and costs an extra $30,000. A fairer comparison is the G80, which is about $10,000 pricier than the ES when comparably equipped. Its non-sport versions have a very comfortable ride as well.

[@tonysterbenc]

Then try to get your hands on $10,000, because that's how much more the Genesis costs when comparably equipped with leather and a V6.

[@tonysterbenc]

It'll spin the tires all day accelerating from a standstill. But if you replace the awful MPG Special original equipment tires with Michelin CrossClimate II or Vredestein Quatrac Pro, you'll basically be safe with a light throttle foot.

[@Bnizzofashizzo]

@@tonysterbenc thank you SO MUCH for this !!

[@tonysterbenc]

@@Bnizzofashizzo Glad I can help. Also, switching to Eco mode (the right-side "Shrek horn" dial) mutes the throttle response, which helps some on slop.

[@unlearningcommunism4742]

European here. I came to USA 3 years ago, and before that I had 2007 Alfa Romeo 159 (paid 3000 USD) and Alfa 156, 2002, paid 2500 USD. Both cars had waaaaay better leather than standard Lexus ES, worth 30.000 USD. I also had stitching on the door panels on both Alfas, which is, apparently, something that is Bentley level of luxury today. Why are cars so ugly in America.

[@Ramnugg]

Only thing missing is AWD.

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

Rumor is the 2024 may be fixing that 🤞

[@tonysterbenc]

The Lexus GS had it, but nobody was willing to pay for the extra sophistication. At the end, the FWD ES was outselling it 20 to 1. Do avoid the current AWD ES, which has a low-rent Camry four-banger engine. The '25 ES will offer AWD with more power, but the tradeoff will be the loss of the current smooth and ultra-durable V6.

Lights: LEDs standard, superb triple-beam LEDs as a $1,500 option. Sunroof: Regular sunroof standard, pano roof optional on non-hybrids. Rear seats don't fold down, just as they haven't on any ES for 30 years, because Lexus puts a brace behing the seatback for structural rigidity that only leaves room for a ski pass-through.

[@S_Paoli]

I sat in the right seat(behind the driver) a few months ago. It was a 2021 ES350. Going down the freeway, it felt really harsh to me and I felt every bump. Strangely, on the way back, my friend sat in the rear and I sat in the front passenger seat... and it was buttery smooth like in this video. Does anybody know why? Was it the rear seat cushion or perhaps the rear suspension? Thanks!

[@TheCarReviewGuys]

That does seem odd for Lexus. Honestly I can ride in the rear on press cars as I'm the only authorized driver. So I can't really speak on the ride in the rear. However the people riding with me did not complain so I'm not sure of the differences. Appreciate ya watching
