2007 Lexus ES Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The brand-new Lexus ES luxury sedan brings new technology and more power.
By "new direction," take that to mean "new Camry." The exterior is dull as can be, and compared to the outgoing model, this ES feels almost as fat and bloated as a Buick. Then again, that's the point of a car like this: Style comes last, while space and comfort go first. It's not ugly, but compared to the excitement drawn into the smaller Lexus IS, the ES is proud to be a boat out of water.
The ES excels inside, because that's where its owners sit for hours on end. Materials are plush, and assembly quality is very good. The three-spoke steering wheel and tall, slim centre stack remove the Buick vibe, and the optional panoramic moonroof lets the light shine into this pampering space. The Premium Package adds gorgeous wood trim on the dash and steering wheel. Choose the semi-aniline leather on the Ultra Premium Package package. The standard-grade leather is good, but it's not as soft. Fine stitching and two-tone colour combinations look rich. It's a shame the exterior isn't as inviting as this interior.
Dual front airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head curtain airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, ABS, traction control, stability control, and a tire-pressure monitor come standard.
The 2007 ES was not tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). A similar Toyota Camry earned the best Good ratings in three crash tests, but this car is not directly comparable. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) did crash-test an ES. It received five out of five stars for driver and passenger in the frontal tests and for the driver in the side crash test; the rear passenger side-crash test fared four stars.
In Canada, the model year 2007 Lexus ES 350’s new car MSRP starts at $42,900. The Premium package adds $3,600, while the Ultra Premium package adds $11,400. Fuel economy is estimated at 10.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city and 7.2 on the highway. For such a comfortable, plush, and tech-driven car, the ES delivers so much more space and refinement than smaller luxury cars costing just as much money. It is only, however, for drivers who prioritize comfort over all aspects of driving.
