CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Lexus ES

Summary
With 100 currently listed for sale near Tampa, FL and an average price of $38,724, 55.0% 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.
100.0% of 2023 ES models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Lexus ES stands out as a luxury sedan that prioritizes comfort, quietness, and an easygoing driving experience over flash or aggression. 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 is more expressive than before, with a large spindle grille, sharp body creases, and a coupe-like roofline.
For 2023, Lexus introduced the F Sport Design, which dropped the adaptive dampers and sportier suspension tune. The ES 350 came with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 producing 302 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, while the ES 300h hybrid paired a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a CVT for a combined 215 hp. Standard equipment on the base ES included synthetic leather upholstery, heated power front seats, LED headlights, a power moonroof, and a full suite of safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, traffic-sign recognition, and high-beam assist. Available options included a Mark Levinson stereo, a head-up display, a panoramic glass roof, surround-view cameras, a power rear sunshade, triple-beam LED headlights, a digital key, and a wide range of driver-assistance features.
That mix of comfort, equipment, and safety helps explain the ES’s appeal, especially for buyers who want a refined sedan with strong value. At the same time, the ES remains tuned primarily for smoothness rather than aggressive acceleration, and it is not especially inspiring to drive or look at.

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!

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 luxury sedan that prioritizes comfort, quietness, and an easygoing driving experience over flash or aggression, and it offers a refined cabin with a strong value proposition for buyers who want a premium daily driver. That makes it especially appealing if you care more about serenity and everyday ease than sporty handling. With 39.3% 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 presented as a comfort-first luxury sedan with a quiet cabin, a refined driving character, and a strong emphasis on ease of ownership. Its standard safety equipment and calm, well-rounded design support that reputation. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about drama and more about making sure the specific car has been maintained well and hasn’t been neglected.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Lexus ES?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 87% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the condition of the cabin, electronics, brakes, tires, and suspension, since those areas matter most on a luxury sedan. Focus on overall condition and maintenance records so you can separate a well-kept example from one that only looks good online.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Lexus ES?
This is a moderate market, so you can buy now if the right car shows up, but you should still compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 39.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,052 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices are up 3.15% year-over-year.
- Clean inventory: 87.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $36,691, 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 $39,126 sits slightly above last year's $37,930.
That upward move suggests the market is still willing to pay for this model year, which is a positive sign if you plan to sell later. The ES’s comfort-first reputation and premium positioning help it stay relevant with shoppers who want a refined sedan rather than a sporty one. Because prices are already above last year’s level, a well-kept example should remain easier to market than a neglected one.
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:
- 39.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 87% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices are up 3.15% year-over-year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $35,107, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $39,126 average.
- It offers a broad powertrain lineup for buyers who want more choice.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of inventory, condition, and buyer demand, the 2023 is the better starting point. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2022 is the smarter alternative to compare first, especially if you find a clean example with the equipment you want.
