1. All about comfort 

If you’re looking for a comfy ride, the 2014 Lexus ES 350 is just what the doctor ordered. Soft, plush seats feel more like the sofa in your family room than traditional car seats. And whether you’re taller or shorter than the average person, there’s plenty of adjustment available to get the driver’s seat exactly the way you want it. 

2. Great fuel economy 

If you’re looking to go longer between fuel stops, the 2014 Lexus ES 350 is a solid choice. The EPA-estimated fuel economy for this sedan is 24 mpg combined.

That breaks down to 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, so it's ideal for road trips or long commutes.

3. No-frills electronics 

The 2014 Lexus ES 350 offers the convenience of Bluetooth® connectivity without all the fuss. The simple controls on the infotainment screen are easy to understand and use. The standard navigation system works with a mouse-like controller, making it easy to navigate.  

4. Classic exterior 

When a 2014 Lexus ES 350 is cruising down the road, it creates a picture of the classic, refined sedan. The spindle grille in the front and the modern shape exude tasteful sophistication. Whether you're aiming to impress your friends or just enjoy a posh, classic ride, this one is a great choice. 

5. Spacious interior 

The driver and the passengers in a 2014 Lexus ES 350 have plenty of space. Rear- and front-seat riders are surrounded by plush surroundings and room to stretch out and enjoy cruising. Adjustable seats and adequate legroom—41.9 inches in the front seat and 40 inches in the rear—make this sedan comfortable for riders in both the front and rear seats.
