The Lexus ES is a Japanese sedan that is related to the Toyota Camry.
Many motorists even say that it makes no sense to overpay for the Lexus brand when the Camry is not much different from the ES.
It is noteworthy that Japanese Lexus ES sedans can still be found at official dealers in Russia, despite the crisis.
In our country, the car is offered with three different power plants, although everything is on gasoline.
The cost of the basic version starts from an incredible 4.3 million rubles.
Whether it is worth buying this model and overpaying a substantial amount of money for it when there is a cheaper Camry, the reviews of the owners of a premium business sedan will help you figure it out.
The most common pros and cons of the model are collected in this article.
Low quality plastic. In the context of comparing the ES with the Camry, one cannot fail to mention the trim materials, namely plastic.
And here, many owners point out that in some places in the Lexus there is oak plastic, which is no better than in the Camry.
This is a little bewildering as the cost difference between the two cars is significant.
Bad soundproofing. Another disadvantage, in relation to the model positioned by the manufacturer as Premium, is poor sound insulation.
And here the whole point is not in the wheel arches, as it happens on the same Camry, but in the roof, where, according to the owners, there is no sound insulation at all.
This is especially noticeable when it is raining overboard and there is a feeling, again according to the owners, “as if you are under a sheet of corrugated board”.
Comfortable salon. But in this parameter, the ES noticeably outperforms the Camry, without taking into account elements with oak plastic.
Firstly, because of the layout inside the Lexus sedan, it is much more spacious, especially at the rear.
The upholstery of the leather seats is also top notch. In addition, there are piano lacquer and wood effect inserts.
Gorgeous pendant. This plus is an integral part of the Lexus ES.
The suspension is very smooth and soft, but at the same time energy-intensive.
If someone thinks that the suspension in a Lexus sedan is the same as in Toyota, then he is deeply mistaken.
Despite the fact that the cars are built on the same base, the suspension in the ES is set up completely differently, for different purposes.
