CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Lexus ES

Summary
With 986 currently listed for sale and an average price of $38,839.00, 31.4% of 2023 Lexus ES models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Lexus ES 5 / 5 stars.
86.7% of 2023 Lexus ES models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Lexus ES stands out as a midsize luxury sedan that prioritizes comfort, refinement, and value over flash. It is based on the same platform as the Toyota Avalon and Camry from this era, and the redesign brought increased structural rigidity, a wider stance, and an overall increase in length of almost three inches. Lexus also moved the seating position lower and further back, which helped create additional rear-seat legroom. The styling leans more expressive than before, with a large spindle grille, sharp body creases, and a coupe-like roofline, but the ES still stays true to its role as a quiet, pampering sedan.
For 2023, Lexus introduced the F Sport Design, which dropped the adaptive dampers and sportier suspension tune. That makes the 2023 ES less about athleticism and more about the relaxed driving character that has long defined the model. The standard equipment list remains a strong selling point, with synthetic leather upholstery, heated power front seats, LED headlights, a power moonroof, and a suite of safety features that includes adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning with steering assist, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, traffic-sign recognition, and high-beam assist. Available upgrades such as a Mark Levinson stereo, a head-up display, a panoramic glass roof, surround-view cameras, and a power rear sunshade add appeal for shoppers who want a more upscale experience.
The main tradeoff is that the ES is not especially exciting to drive or look at, and that is part of its identity. It is aimed at buyers who want a reliable, comfortable, and well-equipped luxury sedan rather than a performance car. For shoppers who value a smooth ride, generous rear-seat space, and a calm cabin, the 2023 Lexus ES makes a compelling case.

Downsized from BMW 540i for more comforts but still decent pop/handling. ALL main cabin features of BMW transferred to Lexus ES though some learning on new systems will be required. Great the control pad on the console has been replaced in 2023. Saved roughly $20K upfront with Lexus plus more ongoing with regular, not premium, fuel. ES hybrid would have saved even more ongoing but I was not ready to take that drastic of a performance drop yet.

This was the second time we purchased a Lexus ES 350 because there’s just NO Better Car Out There! The perfect combination of Safety, Economy & Luxury all wrapped into one beautiful car! There are, of course, many safety features; everything from key controlled alarm systems, maps & voice directions to state of the art braking systems! You get better than expected miles per gallon, and the value of these cars do not depreciate quickly! And the comfort; you don’t feel bumps in the road - shocks are outstanding ! Not only do they have heated seats to keep you warm in winter - they also have cooling seats to kept you cool in the summer! Multiple body positioning options - including lower back support is comfortable beyond belief! And there is oh so much more! With plush body style and rare color mixes like “Midnight Blue” & “Champaigne,” they are really lovely vehicles to look at! Once you drive a Lexus ES - No Other Car Will Do!

There are 1,035 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of shopping room.
If you find a listing below $36,700.85, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2023 Lexus ES a good car?
Yes — the 2023 Lexus ES earns a 5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction.
It stands out as a midsize luxury sedan that prioritizes comfort, refinement, and value over flash. You get a quiet, pampering cabin, a generous rear seat, and a well-equipped standard feature set, so it fits you well if you want a relaxed daily driver rather than something sporty or attention-grabbing.
With 36.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.
Is the 2023 Lexus ES reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2023 Lexus ES is described as a reliable, comfortable, and well-equipped luxury sedan that focuses on ease of use and a calm driving experience. Its identity is built around refinement and practicality rather than complexity or performance, which is often appealing if you want a low-stress ownership experience.
For used buyers, that usually means lower drama over time if you choose a well-kept example and stay on top of maintenance.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Lexus ES?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should start with a history report to confirm accident status, title status, and service consistency. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on cabin condition, electronics, and signs of wear that can matter more on a comfort-first luxury sedan. Pay close attention to how the car presents overall, since condition and maintenance history are especially important when you want a refined used luxury car.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Lexus ES?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on standout listings.
- Deal availability: 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,035 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices are up 1.95% year-over-year.
- Clean inventory: 86.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $36,700.85, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Lexus ES's resale value?
The current average of $38,869 sits slightly above last year's $38,125.
That upward move suggests the market still values this model year, which can help support resale confidence if you buy carefully. A stable-to-rising price trend is usually a good sign for future sellers because it indicates ongoing demand rather than a softening market.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Lexus ES or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 36.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices are up 1.95% year-over-year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $35,517, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $38,869 average.
- It offers multiple powertrain choices for buyers who want more flexibility.
The bottom line:
You should lean toward the 2023 if you want the newer model-year pricing context, strong deal availability, and a comfort-first luxury sedan with broad appeal. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2022 is the better secondary path because it comes in below the current year's average and still delivers the ES's core comfort-focused character.
