With the 2023 ES 250, even if you opt for the base model, it will come very well-appointed with loads of luxury features. You'll find synthetic leather upholstery, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and a sunroof.

2. Latest tech

When you are on the go, you need the latest technology to keep you connected. The 2023 Lexus ES 250 gets standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration

, which is accessible through an eight-inch touchscreen display. If you want more screen size, check out the optional 12.3-inch display that comes with built-in navigation and voice assistant (standard on the Ultra Luxury trim). The ES 250 also comes packed with standard driver aids as part of the Lexus's driver-assist suite.

3. Sporty options

The ES 250 is a luxury-focused sedan, but it has a fun side as well. If you go for the F Sport Design trim, you'll find a host of sporty features. It gets standard 19-inch gloss black wheels, upgraded trim-specific exterior trim, and a rear spoiler. There's a lot more to like about the F Sport Design, it also includes the Premium Package, which adds great features like heated and ventilated seats, rain-sensing wipers, and a wireless charging pad.

4. Lots of space

If your next road trip needs a bit more space for friends, family, or baggage, the 2023 ES 250 is up for the challenge. With a respectable 13.9 cu-ft of space in the trunk, you can pack for a long journey. Plus, with seating for five and a generous 39.2 inches of rear leg room, your passengers can stretch out and get comfortable. It's even easy to get in and out of with low seat cushions and wide door openings for easier entry.

5. Ultra Luxury trim

Lexus is known for delivering impressive luxury, and if you want to maximize comfort on your 2023 ES 250, check out the Ultra Luxury trim. The top-spec version gets everything from the mid-level Luxury trim, plus tons of other great features including a hands-free power trunk lid, manual rear door sunshades, tech upgrades like the 12.3-inch display, surround-view camera system, and navigation.
