Coupe-like in style with sedan capability, the 2020 Lexus ES is a lavish car that artfully balances sport and luxury. Available with a gas engine, the ES 350, or in a hybrid version, the ES 300h, you’ll be introduced to smooth performance over incredible fuel economy. That’s all not even to mention the Lexus-specific technology and safety features like Enform and LSS+. One of the best values in the mid-sized luxury sedan segment, the Lexus ES always comes at a great price, and especially so in the latest 2020 version, which you can explore here at Lexus of Royal Oak, your local Lexus Calgary dealer.
Design
The ES was made to look like a coupe but maintain all of the four-door utility of a sedan. Designed on the Global Architecture K platform, which is all-new for Lexus, it introduces a longer and wider ES. Still, its gorgeously sloped lines contribute to that aerodynamic coupe look while maintaining all the space and versatility of your regular Lexus sedan. These lines connect from the specifically crafted rear end all the way to the slim front, and create spacious room in-between. Finishing off these sculpted accents are headlight technology like the Triple Beam LED and LED cornering variations, which beautifully wrap around the body of the vehicle.
Available F SPORT packages (F SPORT Series 1, F SPORT Series 2) step up the exclusive style even more with luxury sport features like 19-inch alloy wheels, sport steering wheel and seating, interior trim in aluminum, specialized black satin grille and Adaptive Variable Suspension.
The inside of the Lexus ES is modern every way you look at it. The driver’s side has everything oriented toward them, including the display screen, head-up display and instrumental panel, and all easily navigated from the comfort of the 10-way power adjustable seat, which is heated and ventilated. Leather and wood trim coordinate together to provide a sumptuous look and feel, with Nuluxe and leather styles available in Black, Chateau, Flaxend and Striated Black, while the wood comes in Linear Dark Mocha or Linear Espresso. Stepping things up even further is the premium semi-aniline leather seating options found on the Ultra Luxury package on both ES 300 and ES 350 models. Also on this package is the Mark Levinson Audio System, which includes Clarif-Fi 2.0 and Quantum Sound Logic features for the height of audio quality in your car.

Performance
Gas or hybrid, the power from the ES is incredibly responsive and efficient. The gas powertrain maintains a direct injection V6 that is matched to an 8-speed direct shift transmission. For those interested in a self-charging variant, the ES 300 hybrid electric model comes with a 2.5L Atkinson gas and electric motor system. The ES hybrid features mean incredibly smooth driving coupled with an outstanding fuel efficiency rating that produces only low-level emissions. Additional features to provide you your best ride ever include Drive Mode Select, letting you pick your driving mode to suit your mood, whether that’s the ECO mode when you’re concerned about efficiency, or the Sport mode when you want to ratchet up the fun.

Through this 8-inch display and 10-speaker set-up, you can easily link your phone with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Lexus Navigation is available to easily get you where you need to go, helping you navigate through traffic, weather and whatever else may be in your way.

Safety
Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) 2.0 is found on both the 2020 ES 350 and ES 300h. Collected here is a litany of safety features that serve to make your drive more convenient and, most of all, safe. It’s highlighted by a pre-collision safety system (with bicycle and pedestrian detection) to keep you and all those around you secure, Lane Tracing Assist, keeping you in your lane, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, perfect for highway cruising and automatic high beams, brightening up even the darkest of nights. Vehicle Stability Control ensures you’re always in control, even over the slipperiest of road conditions, where as soon as one of your wheels loses traction the system corrects to maintain stability for a smooth ride. Forget having to guess if you’re properly situated in a parking space, the rearview backup cameras and Intuitive Park Assist gives you guidelines to help you into a spot.
What's Changed From the 2019 ES?
The 2019 Lexus ES model saw a slight redesign for its new generation that was introduced, so in the wake of these changes, the 2020 ES saw little change from the previous year. What has been a staple and remains a focus year-to-year, is the constant updating and availability of tech features to match the changing landscape and driver desires.
