Lexus Updates the 2023 ES With New F Sport Packages-January 2024
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 $50,000, Should This Alfa Get Its Freak On?
For $50,000, Should This Alfa Get Its Freak On?
The compound word Prototype comes from the Greek prototypon which means primitive form. Today's Alfa GTV is described as such a proto type, but is its price far from either pro or typical? When it was completed, Tod Browning's 1932 film Freaks was banned from exhibition due to its lurid...

For $2,500, If The Shoe Fits, Drive It
The lyrics to the metalcore band On Broken Wings' song Six Hundred Cubic Centimeters includes the line- I've got some questions, and I want them answered. That song is obviously about today's Honda Z600 coupe, and the question they want answered is undoubtably whether or not its price is a...

For $3,200, Is This S-10 a Ten?
The fact that today's Chevy S-10 has a 500 CID Caddy V8 in back means that the only thing it'll haul is ass. Does its price however, mean a buyer would also be taking it, well, you know where? Confession time, I was trolling with yesterday's freaky . Of course...

For $8,000, Will This Jeep Be The Torque Of The Town?
For $8,000, Will This Jeep Be The Torque Of The Town?
While there's nothing more American than a Jeep, diesel engines seem more the predilection of our funny talkin' friends overseas. Today's Wrangler attempts to link those worlds, but is its price a bridge too far? In the Mission Impossible movies the protagonists frequently pulled off their schemes with the help...
