Used Lexus ES for sale

Every ES comes with Lexus Safety System+ as standard, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, road sign assist and more. The Lexus ES scored five stars from Euro NCAP. Some newer versions include intersection assist and enhanced LED headlights.

In the UK, all Lexus ES models use a 2.5-litre self-charging hybrid setup (badged 300h), combining a petrol engine and electric motor to produce 218bhp. It is smooth and efficient but not the fastest in its class. There are no diesel or plug-in hybrid options available.

From 2022 onwards, the Lexus ES includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, sat nav, DAB radio and Bluetooth as standard. Heated seats and dual-zone climate control come on most trims, with higher-spec versions adding a Mark Levinson sound system, head-up display, and extra driver aids.

Official figures suggest between 48 and 54 mpg depending on trim and wheels. In real-world driving, especially on longer runs, many owners see over 50 mpg, making it one of the most efficient executive saloons without a plug.

There are no widespread faults, but it’s advisable to check for outstanding recalls as some early models had minor issues with the brake booster or emergency call system. Ensure infotainment software is up to date and review the service history, particularly hybrid system checks. For extra peace of mind, consider booking an AA Vehicle Inspection.

Yes, Lexus has a strong reputation for dependability, and the ES benefits from proven Toyota hybrid technology. Owners rate it highly in satisfaction and reliability surveys. With regular servicing, it is considered one of the most stress-free executive cars available.
