Is the Lexus ES a good car?
Yes — the Lexus ES is a strong used-car choice if you want comfort, refinement, and a calm luxury-sedan character. The all-generations owner rating is 4.62/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the Lexus ES for its luxurious feel, smooth ride, and reliability. They also highlight the quiet cabin, comfortable interior, and overall value, especially for buyers who want a dependable luxury sedan with an upscale atmosphere. Expert commentary reinforces that same identity with recurring praise for comfort, quietness, and a polished, easygoing driving experience.
Expert reviews rate the 2015 and 2014 models among the highest across all years.
The main tradeoffs are the ES's modest performance, older infotainment in some years, and styling that leans more understated than exciting. Even so, those compromises are part of the model's appeal if you care more about comfort and everyday ease than sporty driving.
31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

The all-new ES 350h unofficially assumes Lexus' flagship luxury sedan role
The midsize Lexus ES is fully redesigned for 2026, with a larger footprint, modern styling, and both hybrid and all-electric variants. Among the few remaining rivals, it's the sensible and affordable choice, with very few drawbacks.
Verdict: While the Lexus ES 350h may not be all that exciting to drive, it more than makes up for it with a glassy-smooth ride quality, a quiet cabin, and a starting price that undercuts its German rivals by a sizable margin. As good as the ES 350h hybrid may be, we suggest checking out the all-electric ES 350e as well.
