2024-02-19 EST 22:09:20

2023 Lexus ES350 F Sport Design

Lexus has given the a few updates for 2023. There’s no full-on redesign yet, but the luxury brand has expanded its F Sport line to include the ES lineup with new design and handling packages.

has been a looker (in my opinion) since it was first introduced in 2018. No longer the luxury Camry that old people drove, the ES developed to bring . With Lexus , things are also getting shuffled with the ES, and the expansion has come to include the ES lineup.

2023 Lexus ES300h F Sport Design

The updated F Sport Design packages are available on all trims of the ES: ES 250, ES350 AWD, and the hybrid ES 300h. The basis for the F Sport Design is the ES equipped with the Premium Package. From there it builds on it by adding F Sport Design 19-inch wheels in a gloss black finish, a unique front bumper and grill surround with a rear spoiler topping everything off. Inside you get all the luxury features of the Premium Package. Like a pano roof, rear sunshade, and Mark Levinson sound system.

2023 Lexus ES350 F Sport Handling

For those that want a little more fun out of their ES, which would likely be a first, there’s the F Sport Handling package. Only available on the ES 350 and ES 300h, it gets the F Sport Design on the exterior but adds sporty handling, or at least what Lexus says is sporty goodies. There’s custom drive modes that include a Sport+ mode, and an Adaptive variable Suspension tuned by F Sport.

Inside there are aluminum pedals and an F Sport heated steering wheel with Hadori aluminum trim. If you aren’t sure what that is, that’s Lexus’ samurai-inspired aluminum trim it uses in some of its models. The way the aluminum is polished is the same method samurai used to polish the blades of their katana. .

The packages aren’t the only upgrades the ES gets for 2023. There’s a new infotainment system with a larger 12.3-inch display; base cars get a standard eight-inch display. The center console has been redesigned with different cup holder placements and a holder for your cool shades (sunglasses).

If you’re interested in these ES variants, of course it’s going to cost you. While the base ES 250 AWD and ES 350 starts at $42,490 and the ES 300h starts at $43,690, you will have to pay to play. The ES250/350 F Sport Design starts at $47,075; the ES 350 F Sport Handling at $48,950. The hybrid models are the most pricey, with the ES 300h F Sport Design starting at $48,075 and the ES 300h F Sport Handling at $49,985.

The 2023 ES is set to arrive at dealers this fall.

For $3,200, Is This Alfa Prime?
For $3,200, Is This Alfa Prime?
Rossi are Red, Veloce are too, today's Alfa è bello, but does its price say screw you? When the Alfa Romeo Milano appeared for the first time at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, I dutifully visited the display to check it out, new U.S. models from the beleaguered Italian...

For $5,500, Always Know Your Door Count
If you've ever played Portals 1 and 2 you'll know the benefit of having a door at just the right spot. Today's Maserati gives you not one, not two, but four handy portals, but does its price take the cake? Oh Florida, you so crazy these days. First you cock...

For $6,500, Bimmer Bimmer, Chicken Dinner
Cracker Jack is a tasty treat that comes with a toy surprise inside the box. Today's BMW E34 looks pretty tasty, and the surprise 6-speed inside makes it ready to play. Will its price however, make you think the seller is just toying with you? When I get old, I...

For $25,000, If You Can Make It There, You’ll Make It Anywhere
New York is known as the City that never sleeps, and, the Big Apple. Today's '64 New Yorker is painted black which seems appropriate considering the city's unofficial dress code, but will its price have you saying I'M WALKIN' HERE, I'M WALKIN' HERE? Unsurprisingly, yesterday's walked away with a 68%...

For $13,000, This 928’s Wad is Blown
For all its veneration, Porsche's 928 doesn't seem to get all that much respect. As example, today's '82 928S has gone from Weissach to Woodward, but is its price at least respectable? Alfa Romeos, like 2-year olds, require constant attention. Shoes go on, sweater comes off, they're never all the...

For $15,000, This Is A Pro-Tour Contour
While based on Ford's CDW27 World Car platform, today's Contour SVT is set up as a Safety Car for that most American of racing series — Champ Car. Will its price however, make it the most expensive Contour... in the world? The Contour wasn't Ford's first attempt at developing a...
