Introducing the 2025 Lexus ES: Elegance Redefined
The 250 AWD has an incredible 2.5-liter I4 powertrain that generates 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The initial output of this motor allows the base ES to reach 60 MPH in 8.6 seconds, while the engine’s horsepower helps this vehicle maintain a top track speed of 131 MPH. Along with AWD for ideal all-weather traction, this model also has an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission that can be adjusted with paddle shifters.
In terms of efficient performance, the base ES model sets the standard for the rest of the lineup. The 250 AWD model gets 25 MPG in urban areas, 34 MPG on the freeway, and 28 MPG combined. One of the key engineering features of this model is Vehicle Stability Control, an advanced system that enhances wheel traction during cornering maneuvers or on slippery roads by adjusting brake power for each wheel so you have better handling and control.
