Lexus ES 250 2.5 F Sport (A) Facelift Review
The refreshed Lexus ES now comes with an F Sport variant to spice up its aggression and sport front. Can it drive as sporty as it looks?
Facelift (What's New)
Tweaked daytime running lights
First time ES is equipped in F Sport trim
Menacing-looking mesh grille
Aesthetic go-fast bits such as bucket seats and F Sport badges that enhance the car's aggression
Stiffened rear suspension

Reputation precedes it's quality `
Bought the 2.5 luxury edition and nothing fantastic on the features. The torque is pretty sluggish, comparable to a 1.6l saloon, don't expect to over take any 2.0l cars and pick up is slower than a toyota pruis. When stopping, the noise level is compact but when travelling on uneven surfaces. Road noise is terribly loud comparing to continental cars. U-turn turning radius is near 3 lane of turn, which is even more than a 14ft lorry. Lexus could have done better. Don't believe the test drive vehicle in the show room. It's totally different when you own one.

Rear seat buyer must seriously consider LEXUS ES `
Owned a ES300H (2014) earlier. Sold 1,5yr ago & current ride on MB. Went showroom during Labour day holiday to have a look but nice experience. Comfortable especially at the rear seat. Sofa feeling. Test drive on this car. Built on the GA-K platform, nicely done! Chasis was lowered than 2014 model, was enhanced the aerodynamics. Assumed the LSS+ is another highlight, but didn't get a chance to test. 2,5L N.A. Do not have the turbo lag but do expect smooth but not so quick response (0-100km in 9.1s). Can make do with paddle shifter which comes in standard. However, reverse camera/panoramic view monitor image is utterly disappointing (unclear). Overall, nice car to have if you have the cash.

Best car I have owned `
I have owned 18 cars before I finally purchased the new Lexus ES250 Luxury. The cars I owned in past include Audi A6 (C6 and C7), BMW 320i (E90), Audi Q7, BMW 740i (E65), Volvo V50, Lexus RX450H, Audi A4 Avant, Mercedes S300L, Audi A5, Audi Q5, VW Golf, etc. Lexus ES250 is a very comfortable car. Just like my BMW 740i and Mercedes S300L. It is very roomy. It is more sporty than the Mercedes S300L which is very reluctant to accelerate. It is less sporty than BMW 740i but more petrol efficient - BMW 740i is VERY thirsty! Equipment-wise, it is very generous. Forget about the Lexus ES250 Executive. Go for the Luxury version! It has SO MANY more equipment than the Executive version. I was considering the E-Class and 530i but I chose Lexus ES250 because it is a better package overall. E-Class does not even give you keyless entry! But it is a standard in Lexus ES. The drive is superb. Very quiet and very comfortable. It feels so luxurious. The most comfortable car I have owned. Looks-wise, it can be subjective but I love the aggressive look. BMW, Audi and Mercedes are too conservative. Their looks don't change much. Also, forget about the LS. The Lexus ES250 is 80% An LS at half the price and probably running cost!

Impressive exterior and interior `
After owning this car for about 9 months I feel that the car is worth for the money I spent. I have owned or driven a number of different brand cars. Be it brand new or 2nd hands. Past owned Mercedes, BMW, Mini Cooper and Toyota. I have decided to come back to Lexus. This is the 4th Lexus I have owned so far. Previously owned RX300BMR, CT200H, GS300. Everything is good about this car. Except the turning radius is very poor. I actually wanted to get the ES300H for its initial power drive however the moonroof model only equipped for ES250. Ended up I purchased the ES250 Luxury. Comparing with the normal version ES250, I would say pay a little more for the Luxury as it comes with many more features that is worth the money. The fuel consumption for reasonably good. I have driven about 15,000 Km and getting about 8.9 L/100 Km for 30 / 70- City/ Expressway ratio.
