Thank you for this video! The video quality is excellent! I ordered this exact color combination and hopefully it will be in tomorrow or the following day.
My mom is the target buyer for this car. She’s 71. Definitely doesn’t want to hear exhaust sound or care about 350hp. People who buy this car want reliability and a cushy ride. She thinks 70 is fast. This car delivers what the typical es buyer wants in spades.
I’m 32 and me and my two of my other friends, all same age, have the same car so it definitely is for younger people who enjoy luxury smooth rides as well.
Agree! I bought the car for reliability and low maintenance. The 302 hp is plenty for me. I know I didn’t buy a sports car and it’s luxurious enough for me.
@@HawkeyeRides Okay, thanks for your input. I kinda figured the cream would get stained and dirty very easily. However, I must say the walnut trim looks awesome with the Palomino interior.
Hi from Tampa! Looking at one of these in the moonbeam color. In some shots it looks silver and then some shots it looks more champagne. Its very interesting!
I test drove both 250/4cyl and 350/6cyl yesterday. 250 is noticeably loud. And it felt very non lux. 250 will be better on gas but I can't really get over the noise and lack of power.
The BMW 5 series will be the more quiet cabin but Lexus is close, the new E-Class is not as quiet, 2021 and up has increased a little in road noise. Nice to hear from you Joe 👍🏻
I’m 26 and I wanna buy my own first car. I have about 25k saved up and I’ll save up another 15k. I didn’t wanna go cheap or buy used and I was debating buying a new Lexus ES 350 2023 F sport with some new amenities. Thanks for the video, the only cons I see for far for this car is that it’s not AWD and that the Hp and performance isn’t up to par with the competition. Atleast the 2023 added ambient lighting. Will def consider factory ordering one. Thanks for the video! Hopefully you do a video with the 2023 Lexus
Don't discount getting a used Lexus. An L/Certified Lexus must pass a 161 point inspection and comes with a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty and 2 years of scheduled maintanence included. My local dealer has several late model IS and ES models with under 20k miles. I agree the prices could be lower but they will drop if they sit on the lot for 20 plus days.
@@Karma-hy6ki I guess it depends on where you live. In Houston I'm seeing L/Certified 2018-2022 IS 300's for between $31,500 and $38,700 with under 20k miles. 2019-2022 ES 350's are ranging anywhere from $37,000-$52,000 depending on packages. Majority of these cars have under 20k miles.
When you push the auto button it should turn the a/c, if not you can though the climate setting though the touch screen on the lower left of the main menu. Congratulations with your new vehicle they are great vehicles 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides If you don't use auto, just dial that temperature down and increase blower speed; you'll get cooler soon enough..also check direction of your air flow which is done manually if you don't use auto setting...
Just go the climate settings it will be there.. If you use the auto like mention it will turn on and off automatically based on the outside temperature and the inside temperature of the cabin.
If you drive them side by side you will but otherwise its not a huge difference beside the seating. A little more road noise but still overall a smooth suspension with bitter steering for the F-Sport.
302 HP and only 260 lb-ft torque still?? Same engine as a Camry. And on this size car, they really need to up the HP and torque. Also why does Lexus have full leather wrapped steering wheel, but the heating only is at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions and not all 360?
The heated steering if it has wood on it, Lexus says that they do not put it on there because they use real wood. They use the same component for the full leather wheel.
@@HawkeyeRides - The F-Sport steering wheels are _fully wrapped,. Or better question… why do they use the same heating component for both steering wheels (wood or full leather wrapped)?
Because luxury needs performance too, why would you buy a luxury vehicle with a higher price tag that takes 2 hours to get up to the speed limit. When you drive on the interstate or highway you wouldn’t be able to make it with slow speeds 👍🏻
@@philiporourke7896 I never said it’s a race car but you would be surprised on some luxury vehicles you can’t pass a semi truck, specs help everyone understand.
just bought a white one with all black interior. love it for exactly what it is. got too old for huge performance had that in spades wanted luxury.
They are awesome congratulations 👍
Thank you for this video! The video quality is excellent! I ordered this exact color combination and hopefully it will be in tomorrow or the following day.

I luv it, I just bought one and am waiting for delivery which should be the first week of June, ultra luxury package too of course.

Great point 👍🏻
This is exactly the model of car that I like; I have a 2017 ES 350...rides like a dream.
Yes they do

Nice!! I luv this Moonbeam Beige Metallic…just wondering which Interior I should go with or which looks better. The Palomino or Rich Cream interior. 🤔
The cream is nice but keeping it clean can be tough and the Palomino is more classic 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides Okay, thanks for your input. I kinda figured the cream would get stained and dirty very easily. However, I must say the walnut trim looks awesome with the Palomino interior.
@@HawkeyeRides if you have no kids or pets the cream is perfect…I have the cream .
I really like the Palomino, I couldn’t get that Colour inside with the colour option I chose.
I have cream color in my ES..I'm the only driver and just can't go with dark interior in hot, South Georgia summers where I live...

Hello and thanks for sharing
Nice review! Would be lovely to do a comparison on 250/350/300h in terms of driving dynamics, ride quality, noise level & fuel consumption!
Thank you, next time around I would add this to the agenda 👍🏻
I test drove both 250/4cyl and 350/6cyl yesterday. 250 is noticeably loud. And it felt very non lux. 250 will be better on gas but I can't really get over the noise and lack of power.
Thank you for the update, I appreciate that, I did another 350 (it’s coming soon) they didn’t have any other trim.
I test drove this car with the 3.5 L V6 and the IS350 also. I liked both cars but the ES feels too big and the IS feels too small…
Maybe try the RC
Thanks for the awesome review. How would the cabin noise compare to the BMW 5 series or the Mercedes e class? Greetings from London
The BMW 5 series will be the more quiet cabin but Lexus is close, the new E-Class is not as quiet, 2021 and up has increased a little in road noise. Nice to hear from you Joe 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides Thanks for the reply 👍
Big cons for me is no optional AWD and back seats don't fold down. Other than that, rides like butter!
The drive is differently butter smooth Lexus does a great job with that 👍🏻
I have GS350 FSport and the back seats don’t fold down either. Real bummer so I feel you on that.
They make an AWD variant of this, albeit with the smaller 2.5 engine.
I don’t care about the seats folding down but I care about AWD and ambient lighting
@@Karma-hy6kiYou can have ambient lighting added for a low cost. My car guy added it to mine and it’s super nice
what is the name of the car color? it looks awesome
The first 17 seconds I go over that but it’s a Moon bean metallic 👍🏻

@@steveglave35 with a chop shortage it’s near impossible to get a used one, and used cars are almost as high as new cars

@@steveglave35 I live in NYC and all the Lexus dealerships don’t have used ones and I don’t wanna buy it from a no name dealer tbh
That interior is so good looking.. exteriorr too!
I agree 👍
Just purchased a 2022 ES350. The sad part is, can’t figure out how to turn on AC! Was never shown how that system works…
When you push the auto button it should turn the a/c, if not you can though the climate setting though the touch screen on the lower left of the main menu.

Price point? What's the difference between price and price point?
It’s the same
Just a cool way of saying the same thing...
Basically the same thing, but "price point" implies its place within a competitive set.
Is it true? Are we getting a refreshed ES for 2025?
@@storyofmylife7080 the 2026 model will get the updates
Beautiful ride! I love Lexus!
They are nice 👍
is the ride of the es350 fsport that much different than the base es350 will i notice a big difference in ride quality.
If you drive them side by side you will but otherwise its not a huge difference beside the seating. A little more road noise but still overall a smooth suspension with bitter steering for the F-Sport.
Thank you for watching today’s review let me know what you think in the comments.
Silver exterior! Tan interior??? Doesn't match!!! But a sweet looking ride!
They are nice vehicles 👍🏻
Good luck finding the options/color combination you want. Supplies are down.
That’s a great point but if you have time to search, don’t just buy any spec, take a month and fine what you like👍🏻
Does it comes with a heads-up display?
Yes you can option a 10.2 full color HID (head up display)
I’m more interested in price than price point 😉
It was around 50k
How tall are you? Trying to get an indication of headroom. Thanks.
6’3 or 190.5 centimeters
WOW that’s a lot of mustard colour inside. Too much with the roof in that colour.
You get use to it quickly
302 HP and only 260 lb-ft torque still?? Same engine as a Camry. And on this size car, they really need to up the HP and torque. Also why does Lexus have full leather wrapped steering wheel, but the heating only is at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions and not all 360?
The heated steering if it has wood on it, Lexus says that they do not put it on there because they use real wood. They use the same component for the full leather wheel.
@@HawkeyeRides - The F-Sport steering wheels are _fully wrapped,. Or better question… why do they use the same heating component for both steering wheels (wood or full leather wrapped)?
Same money
You don’t drive a Lexus to hang with sport cars you drive it and chill
Why don’t they build the screen as part of the dash and not like a billboard towering out bold and ugly.
Easy to put them in different models
The ES350 Lux or Ultra Lux is inexpensive, compared to a G80, optioned up.
That is a good point 👍
Why do all these guys think im interested in 0 to 60, this is a friggin luxury car. If I want to buy a vett, then I want to hear about 0 to 60.
Because luxury needs performance too, why would you buy a luxury vehicle with a higher price tag that takes 2 hours to get up to the speed limit. When you drive on the interstate or highway you wouldn’t be able to make it with slow speeds 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides yes but these are not race cars. If your paying 50 g's for this car, it will get up and move just fine.
