The Lexus ES sedan was redesigned for 2013 and was joined by a hybrid version: the ES 300h. The ES 350 competes with the Acura TL, Hyundai Azera and Lincoln MKZ.
New for 2014 The available high-intensity-discharge headlights are now accompanied by LED fog lights. The ES 350 gains the choice of Bamboo interior trim like what’s offered in the ES 300h hybrid, and both models now offer heated and ventilated seats with the simulated leather upholstery.
The ES now offers Siri Eyes Free Mode for the iPhone 4S and 5, which enables various voice commands through Siri including placing a call, playing music from iTunes, listening to and composing text messages and emails, getting directions, performing a search, listening to notifications and calendar info, and adding reminders and appointments.
