The Lexus ES 350 is a mid-size premium sedan that offers a good blend of features and luxury for the price. Based on Toyota's popular Camry model, the ES 350 is by no means a driver's car but does serve up a comfortable ride.

The ES 350 is powered by the automaker's 272-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 with dual variable valve timing and a six-speed automatic transmission remains the standard -- and only -- transmission offering. According to EPA estimates, the ES 350 returns 19 mpg in the city cycle, and 27 mpg on the highway.

The ES was revamped for the 2010 model year onward. Revised headlamps and a new grille design set the updated ES 350 apart from the outgoing model, while a chrome lower body side molding and side mirrors with integrated turn signals set the exterior design apart. Redesigned rear tail lamps and new wheel designs round out the changes outside.

The Lexus ES 350 comes standard with a wide range of content including push button access and vehicle starting, dual-zone automatic climate control, power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, Lexus Memory system for the power driver's seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel.

Inside, the ES 350 gains revised steering wheel controls and new interior trim color options highlighted by a new wood veneer. The optional navigation system gains XM Radio's NavTraffic and NavWeather services. Bluetooth will be standard for the new model year. The ES 350 also features an eight-speaker premium sound system, Bluetooth connectivity and USB access.

The ES 350 also has three major option packages, including the Navigation System/Mark Levinson Package which features a HDD navigation system with voice command, XM NavTraffic and a Mark Levinson 14-speaker stereo upgrade. The less expensive pure Navigation System option package includes the HDD navigation system, XM NavTraffic, and Lexus Enform to offer Destination Assist with a subscription basis.

The final option package is appropriately called the Ultra-Luxury Package which features upgraded semi-aniline leather-trimmed interior, wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear shit, heated and ventilated front seats, driver's seat power cushion extender, Lexus Memory system, panorama glass roof, power rear sunshade, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, Dual-Swivel Adaptive Front Lighting system (AFS), 17 inch wheels, and a full-size spare tire.

On the safety front, rear seat side impact airbags are newly standard, as are rain-sensing windshield wipers. Lexus' Safety Connect telematics system will come with a one year activation, while the more comprehensive Lexus Enform system is bundled with navigation.

Key Competitors
As a midsize near-luxury sedan, the ES 350 competes with the Buick LaCrosse, the Lincoln MKZ and the Nissan Maxima.
