Powertrains
The ES gets three of these, one per model depending on the grade chosen. They are:
- A 2.5L inline-4-cylinder engine good for 203 hp that powers the ES 250 AWD models, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Also here is Lexus’ Dynamic Torque all-wheel-drive system, which adjusts torque from 100 percent to the front wheels to a 50:50 front:rear split.
- A 3.5L V6 good for 302 hp and working with the same 8speed auto transmission, in place for the ES 350 models.
- ES 300h models feature a self-charging hybrid electric powertrain built around a 2.5L 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine and motor-generator system that delivers 215 hp in all. In this case the transmission is a CVT.
