2025 Lexus ES Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Lexus ES is available in three versions: ES 250, ES 350 and the ES 300h hybrid. Each model is offered in five trim levels: base, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, F Sport Design and F Sport Handling. The ES 250 comes standard with all-wheel drive, but the ES 350 and ES 300h are only available with front-wheel drive. Keep reading for a more detailed breakdown of this luxury sedan's powertrains and features.

Each model is powered by a different engine:

  • ES 250: 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (203 horsepower, 184 lb-ft of torque)
  • ES 350: 3.5-liter V6 engine (302 hp, 267 lb-ft)
  • ES 300h: 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a hybrid system (215 hp)

The ES 250 and ES 350 use an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the ES 300h's hybrid system uses a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The trim levels below are ordered by starting price. Feature highlights are the same for each model and include:

Base
Standard equipment for the base ES includes:

  • 17-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry and start
  • Sunroof
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • 8-inch center touchscreen display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • 10-speaker audio system

All Lexus ES models come standard with these advanced driver aids:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the ES and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

A Premium package is available for the base trim. It adds:

  • Power-folding exterior mirrors
  • Interior wood trim
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated, power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

F Sport Design
The F Sport Design trim includes features from the base trim and adds:

  • Features from the Premium package
  • 19-inch gloss black wheels
  • Sportier exterior design enhancements
  • Rear spoiler

Luxury
The Luxury trim includes the standard features from the base model and adds:

  • Features from the Premium package
  • 18-inch wheels
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Leather upholstery
  • Additional driver's seat adjustments
  • Wood- and leather-trimmed heated steering wheel
  • Power rear window sunshade

F Sport Handling
The F Sport Handling (not available on ES 250) builds off the F Sport Design and improves interior styling and handling with:

  • Unique interior styling
  • Heated sport steering wheel
  • Heated and ventilated sport-bolstered front seats
  • Performance-tuned adaptive suspension (for improved handling and comfort)
  • Special instrument panel
  • Additional sport and custom drive modes

The F Sport Handling trim is available with the Black Line package that includes:

  • Obsidian outer mirrors
  • Black rear lip spoiler and lower rocker panel
  • F Sport puddle lights and door switch plates
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen and head-up display

All of the above trim levels are available with the Technology package that includes:

  • 12.3-inch center touchscreen display
  • Navigation system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Card key access (card key that replaces the key fob)

Ultra Luxury
With the Ultra Luxury trim, the ES builds on the Luxury trim's equipment with:

  • Features from the Technology package (minus the card key)
  • 18-inch wheels designed to reduce noise
  • Hands-free power trunk release
  • Manual rear-door window sunshades
  • Voice assistant
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the ES and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Many features on the upper trims can be added to the lower trims as stand-alone options. Other notable options include:

  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • Panoramic glass roof (only available on ES 350)
  • Wood trim with interior ambient lighting
  • Power rear window sunshade
  • 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system

Which ES trim does Edmunds recommend?

As much as we like the added flair of the F Sport Design and the improved agility of the F Sport Handling, most buyers will be happy with the Luxury trim. It's priced similarly to the F Sport trims and includes the Premium package. But instead of sporty looks and handling, you get more comfort features like real leather upholstery, interior ambient lighting, wood trim, additional adjustments for the driver's seat, and a power rear sunshade.
