What’s New in the 2024 Lexus ES

The top-selling Lexus sedan is back for 2024 with a tech-centered refresh. Continuing to cater to a variety of lifestyles with three powerful engines, all-wheel drive capability, and two F SPORT models, the 2024 Lexus ES sees minor changes throughout the vehicle to bring you the best in Lexus innovation. The Lexus ES rides on the Global Architecture-K (GA-K) platform, an exceptionally rigid front-wheel drive chassis made from several grades of high-strength steel. The front suspension features a strut angle that aligns at the ideal angle to improve ride quality. Better still? We’re receiving 2024 models now. 

Under the Hood

The ES 350 is the perfect combination of luxury, efficiency, and performance, with a 3.5-liter V6 that features the D-4S fuel injection system. Together with the addition of Variable Valve Timing-intelligence Wide (VVT-iW) for the intake valves, the engine is capable of operating on either the traditional Otto cycle during sporty driving or the more efficient Atkinson cycle when power demand is low. Rated to produce 302 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 267 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm with an EPA-estimated MPG rating of 22/32/26 (city/highway/combined).

The ES 250 AWD gives you torque on all four wheels, enabling the 2.5-liter L4 engine to power through conditions when traction is low to allow better acceleration with less tire slip. Dynamic Torque Control AWD keeps your ES in control during inclement and slippery weather, while helping to minimize the typical drag on fuel. When AWD isn’t needed, the electromagnetic controlled coupling on the rear drive axle disengages the propeller shaft to help prioritize fuel efficiency. 

The ES 300h is another upgrade in Lexus Electrified, with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine running on the Atkinson cycle, coupled with a smaller, more power dense electric motor and a hybrid transaxle. A combined 215 total system horsepower and an EPA-estimated MPG rating of 43/44/44 (city/highway/combined) achieved with a lithium-ion battery under the back seat for ultimate cargo space and weight distribution to help with better handling.

The F SPORT is available on all three powertrains and adds F SPORT 19-inch split five-spoke alloy wheels with a Gloss Black finish and F SPORT exterior styling, including a unique front bumper, grille surround and rear spoiler. Intuitive Parking Assist comes standard with other available features that include a Mark Levinson sound system, power rear sunshade, panorama roof, triple beam LED headlamps and power trunk with kick sensor. 

On the Outside

A dynamic stance with sleek, a coupe-line silhouette adopted by the flagship LS, and the Lexus Signature Grille surrounded by Bi-LED headlights. You’ll be able to enjoy a power tilt-slide moonroof on all models, with an available panorama glass room on select models. Finishing the exterior design with an array of wheel designs, such as the standard  17-inch wheel featuring spoke ends layered in twin v-spoke formations with Dark Metallic and Machined finish produces a sporty impression. Or perhaps, the 18-inch wheel, featuring a split 10-spoke design with two-tone Dark machined finish. 

The 2024 ES offers 11 exterior colors including Eminent White Pearl, Iridium, Cloudburst Gray, Obsidian, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Moonbeam Beige Metallic, Sunlit Green, and Nightfall Mica. Ultra White and Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 remain exclusive to F SPORT with both colors only available on F SPORT Design and F SPORT Handling. 

On the Inside

A driver-centric cockpit with a streamlined instrument panel design to embrace a seamless cabin. For 2024, the Technology Package features a 12.3-inch touchscreen  with Lexus Interface, a Head-Up Display, and SmartAccess Card Key. 

Base ES models include NuLuxe®-trim options standard in Palomino, Acorn, and Black interiors with Striated Black film. Adding the Premium package, ES base model interior options include Macadamia NuLuxe-trim paired with a choice between Ash Bamboo, Open-Pore Brown Walnut, and Open-Pore Black trim. Luxury and Ultra Luxury models offer semi-aniline leather-trim options of Palomino, Macadamia, Acorn, and Black with a choice of Open-Pore Black, Open-Pore Brown Walnut, and Ash Bamboo-trim.

F SPORT Design customers have their choice between Palomino NuLuxe trimmed interior with Open-Pore Brown Walnut trim or Black NuLuxe trimmed interior with Open-Pore Black. F SPORT Handling is available with NuLuxe-trimmed options that include Black and two F SPORT Handling-exclusive colors – Circuit Red and White – all three of which are paired exclusively with Hadori Aluminum trim.

Lexus Interface comes standard on the 2024 ES, which keeps your vehicle as updated as possible with Over-the-Air updates. Touch screen and voice activation controls allow you to interact with the interface, as well as Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation and Destination Assist with an active Drive Connect subscription.
