The most tame and serious of all Lexus products is most definitely the ES. Once dubbed a “bourgeois Camry” (they are built on the same platform), the ES actually shares its mechanical components with the Toyota Avalon. The only engine offered for this vehicle is a 3.5L V6 paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which relays power to the front wheels. In keeping with the brand’s tradition, the assembly is flawless.
