2012 Lexus ES 350

The ES 350 entry-luxury sedan is a Lexus favorite with its comfortable cabin and smooth ride. With a plethora of standard amenities, such as 17-inch wheels, moonroof, 10-way power adjustable front seats, leather-trimmed seats and a multi-information display, the ES continues to impress consumers.

The Lexus ES 350 cruises into the 2012 model year virtually unchanged except for the new Nebula Gray Pearl exterior.

The ES 350's aluminum 3.5-liter V6 produces 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. peak torque at 4,700 rpm using 87-octane regular fuel. The chain-driven camshafts employ Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence for optimal performance and efficiency at all engine speeds.

The six-speed automatic Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence provides a sequential manual shift feature for a more involved driving experience when desired. Shifting strategy adapts to driver input, with rapid downshift response.

The ES 350's elegance is reflected in its distinct front fascia that features arrowhead-shaped headlamps, integrated fog lamps, and chrome grille and grille surround. Chrome body side molding further underscores the car's refined character and demonstrates its dynamic design.

Built on a 109.3-inch wheelbase, the midsize ES 350 provides a roomy and inviting interior. The driver and passengers are treated to intelligent, elegant luxury, with touch points that convey quality. The high level of Lexus craftsmanship is immediately evident in the ES 350, with bright, clear Optitron gauges, premium wood, as well as polished metal and leather accents.
