Coupe-like in style with sedan capability, the 2021 Lexus ES is a lavish car that artfully balances sport and luxury. Available with a gas engine, in the new ES 250 AWD and 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 this latest 2021 version, which you can explore here at Lexus of Royal Oak, your local Lexus Calgary dealer.

Exterior Design Features
Coupe-Like Style
The ES was made to look like a coupe but maintain all of the four-door utility of a sedan. 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.
F Sport Packages
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. F SPORT Series 1 is exclusive to the ES 250 AWD, while the F SPORT Series 2 is available on the ES 350 FWD.
Black Line Edition
An ES 350 exclusive, the Black Line Edition adds on even more to the F SPORT 2 package with dynamic black accents. Featured on this all-new addition is 19-inch aluminum alloy F SPORT wheels, along with mirrors and a rear spoiler, all in black. A stark and bold spin on your ES, disappear into the night thanks to the Black Line Edition.

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.

Dynamic Torque All-Wheel Drive
The ES 250 AWD model is the one truly built for life in Calgary and the surrounding area, with its advanced Lexus Dynamic Torque All-Wheel Drive system. You’ll maintain ultimate control, whether cornering, or dealing with the slick ice and snow conditions that winter in Alberta deals out.
Drive Mode Select
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. The dashboard even lights up with a specific colour dependent on the mode.
