Wow! My 2021 Camry SE FWD has the same engine and transmission so this is super interesting seeing how the transmission is behaving on this model, being AWD and a larger luxury car. It holds higher RPMs longer and delays shifting into higher gears longer than on my car. It also shifts a little quicker. I can see a difference in it being a little more refined. Very cool!
Awesome video as always. I really enjoyed the new route/road at 15:16 min mark where I can acoustically hear what the car is doing and how the chassis and suspension handle a rough road. Sounds like the ES250 is quiet except for the loud engine. Thanks.
@@MilesPerHr Definitely try your best finding these kinds of rough roads, maybe even better rough freeway roads. It really puts the car's ride quality, cabin noise, and comfort to the test. I love using your videos to compare the cabin noise of luxury cars and normal economy cars (i.e., Toyota Corolla) to laugh at the difference.
You made a typo in the powertrain in thr description section of the video. It’s not a turbocharged 4 cylinder. This has the same 2.5L I4 as the camry and rav4
Why they didn’t just make the hybrid ES eAWD is absolutely beyond me. An NA 4 cylinder alone just doesn’t cut it in the luxury segment anymore. 🤦🏼♂️ Go ask Acura how that went with the previous generation TLX.
You buy this car for a quiet cushy ride, not to 0-100km in 5 secs..... some people assume everyone wants a huge engine, when im stuck in a bumper to bumper traffic, all i care about is comfiness
@@SdoubleA Nah, BMWs B series engines are solid. You wouldn’t know that since you didn’t do the research that they were tested by Toyota themselves, so they could be put in the Supra. 🤭

Unfortunately, I don’t get to drive that road all too often, but I’ll try to find something similar. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for that catch. Definitely a mistake. Fixed it.

I'd buy the ES300h first, then ES350, ES250s are way at the bottom of my list. It's not that hard to drive FWD in the snow.
strange they didn't just do an eAWD version of 300h, but I prefer the 300h for sure.
I love the exterior
good morning Miles, Nice car.
Good morning!

For $51,855 I can get a well optioned BMW 330i which is 3 sec faster 0-60, RWD based, better infotainment system and imo looks better.
ok
And the BMW also breaks down more often.
@@SdoubleA they are pretty reliable for the first 5,6 years and for most people that buy/lease new luxury cars is enough
@@SdoubleA and still I would get a bmw infact I own one no issues yet

I think 52k is a little bit to much money for what is offered but otherwise a good car.
52k is F Sport money. How they optioned up a base ES that high is a mystery as those usually top out below 48k.
Beautiful car 👏👏👏 well done
Очень комфортный автомобиль
Very nice
Lexus should be ashamed of this engine choice. On the ES, AWD should be mated to the V6.
apparently there's even a 2.0 liter ES 200 in other markets!
Very much like it so much
The engine is way too noisy.
🤩
Who pays $40K for a ES 250 when they used be V6.
the interior is no way near 2021. More like 2011
Hahaha.
Interiors from the 2010s are generally better, less screens and more focused on physical controls.
