2020 Lexus ES 350 Trims Comparison

2020 ES 350 trim level differences

The 2020 Lexus ES 350 is a midsize luxury sedan available in four trims. The base ES 350 features an extensive features list. The Luxury trim, as the name suggests, adds more luxury items, while the Ultra Luxury model adds even more amenities. The F Sport trim offers a sportier look and feel. A hybrid model, the ES 300h, is also available and reviewed separately.

Powering every ES 350 is a 3.5-liter V6 (302 hp, 267 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Note that some of the following options and configurations may be limited, depending on where the car is purchased.

Thanks to its extensive standard features, the base ES 350 may be enough for many shoppers. It comes with highlights such as LED headlights, a sunroof, simulated leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, an 8-inch central infotainment display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10-speaker sound system, among other items.

Standard safety tech includes forward collision mitigation, lane keeping assist and lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and parking sensors. An optional Premium package adds a handful of other luxuries, such as heated and ventilated front seats and a power-adjustable steering wheel.

The Luxury trim equips the Premium package features along with leather upholstery, additional front-seat adjustments and noise-reducing side windows, while the Ultra Luxury offers a more advanced suspension, upgraded leather and a hands-free trunk release. The ES 350 F Sport offers a little different flavor, building on Premium package features with larger wheels, sportier suspension tuning, sport front seats, and a handful of unique exterior and interior details.

Buyers might consider a few other options, including a navigation system (which includes a 12.3-inch display) and a premium Mark Levinson sound system. These can be optioned together or individually. Other options include a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charging pad, and safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and a surround-view camera system.

Which 2020 ES 350 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base 2020 Lexus ES 350 comes nicely equipped if you want luxury on a budget. But if you can stretch to the Luxury trim, you'll appreciate the leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, wood interior trim, and ambient interior lighting. Audiophiles should consider the Navigation/Mark Levinson Audio package not only for its integrated nav system but also for its large 12.3-inch display and one of the best sound systems available in any car.
