Cons: Doesn’t handle as crisply as most cars in the class; some drivers dislike available Remote Touch system’s joystick control interface[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: The 2017 Lexus ES gains standard Lexus Safety System+ with adaptive cruise control and lane-departure warning/mitigation. The ES has always been about a serene ride and coddling comfort more than sports-sedan agility. Though the ES’s driving dynamics are athletic enough for most consumers, enthusiast drivers will be better served by the rear-drive Lexus GS, or most premium-midsize class competitors. Still, for buyers who place a high value on comfort, fuel economy, and the Lexus ownership experience, an ES 350 or ES 300h is an excellent choice.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
