Lexus ES 350

The Lexus ES is all-new for 2007. With a new 3.5-litre engine, mated to a six-speed automatic, the Lexus ES 350 became a more powerful ride. Still, the Lexus ES 350 is a luxury sedan that wows with smoothness and quietness rather than handling and speed. This so-called entry-level luxury car is based on the Toyota Camry chassis, with upgraded body, equipment and interior. The front-wheel drive ES 350 does come with an impressive set of standard features that the Toyota Camry can only dream about. The Lexus ES 350 comes as one model, but the buyer can opt for a huge range of equipment. Available features include park assist, a power rear sunshade, ventilated front seats, a wood and leather trim package, and DVD navigation with backup camera. Optional equipment includes a navigation system, a 14-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system, Bluetooth wireless capability for cellphones, a panoramic glass roof, and radar-adaptive cruise control. Safety features that come standard on the ES 350 include dual front airbags, a knee airbag, side-impact airbags, curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, ABS brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, also known as EBD, and a tyre-pressure monitor system.
