Lexus has mildly revised the styling and features content of its ES 350 luxury sedan for 2010. New styling cues front and rear join a handful of safety upgrades and tweaked interior trim for the mid-cycle refresh.

Despite hot sales since its luxury-laden arrival nearly 20 years ago, Toyota&#8217;s premium division, Lexus, isn&#8217;t content to rest on its laurels. Having really only dabbled in more performance-oriented hybrids, the brand has decided to capitalize on its parent company&#8217;s successful Prius by offering an eco-minded hybrid of its own: The HS 250h.
