5 reasons to buy the 2022 Lexus ES 250

1. Refined ride

The 2022 Lexus ES 250 offers both drivers and passengers alike a comfortable, luxury experience. All four trims—Base, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, and F Sport—come with a 2.5L, 203-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive. You'll appreciate the smooth handling and a suspension that handily absorbs bumps, jolts, and sharp turns, making it a good option for city driving.

2. Plenty of space for passengers

Both the front and back rows offer ample legroom (42 and 39 inches, respectively) and headroom (just under 38 inches all around), including on the F Sport. This makes the ES 250 an ideal ride for errands, short trips, and cruising around. In the trunk, you have a modest 13.9 cu-ft of space, which might not seem like much but is plenty if you're using this luxury car for commuting and visiting friends.

3. A classy exterior with an interior to match

The 2022 Lexus ES 250 leans into its classic sedan look. On the outside, the streamlined profile of the car is accentuated by a cleverly designed grille and considerate chrome accents. The F-Sport trim comes with a rear spoiler, too. On the inside, a thoughtfully sleek, less-is-more approach to the dash and infotainment system keeps the cabin clutter-free—a nice touch that lends a sense of luxury and spaciousness to the interior.

4. Luxury at all levels

The four trim options on the 2022 ES 250 offer iterative refinements. The Base and Luxury trims, for instance, offer driver-assist features such as blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning, a Pioneer sound system, and a full suite of connectivity options (Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® integration). Keep an eye out for available extras including parking sensors, a navigation system, and a head-up display (HUD). The next level up—the Ultra Luxury trim—has those optional upgrades as standard.

5. Ultra Luxury trim is a treat for drivers

Beyond the driver-assist features and HUD, the Ultra Luxury trim has other comfort-driven features that make it worthy of consideration, including leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and front seats with heating and cooling capabilities. If you're looking for understated elegance, the 2022 Lexus ES 250 is worthy of your consideration. Combined with the elegant interior design and comfortable ride, this makes the ES 250 a great choice.
