2011 Lexus ES 350 is Virtually the Same
After a minor refresh last year, the 2011 Lexus ES 350 is virtually the same, but for one change. The only change in store for the specifications is the V6 engine’s new calibration for regular octane gas. As far as entry-level luxury sedans go, the 2011 Lexus ES 350 remains a top choice, but it’s not the only choice.
Built on a platform that’s shared with the Toyota Camry, the 2011 Lexus ES 350 does a lot with modest roots. While its profile is very conservative, almost plain, the rear styling is appealing and tasteful, and very different than the Camry.
Comfort and luxury are top priorities in the Lexus ES 350 2011, which probably gives you some idea of how this sedan drives. Lexus ES 350 is in some ways the epitome of a classic luxury car–serene and soft, but not at all bouncy.
The Lexus ES 350 2011 is a midsize luxury sedan that is offered in a single well-appointed trim level. The redesign is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 268 hp and 248 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard for this front-wheel-drive 2011 Lexus ES 350.
The lowering of fuel requirements from premium unleaded to standard 87-octane fuel has also dropped power output slightly (from last year’s 272 hp and 254 lb-ft), but the 2011 Lexus ES 350 0-60-mph acceleration should still be right around 7.0 seconds, which is average for this segment. The 2011 Lexus ES 350 EPA-estimated fuel economy remains the same at 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.
In some Lexus ES 350 2011 review, the Lexus ES 350 2011 isn’t designed to be a sports car. In fact, even its optional sports package lacks aggressive on-road excitement. However, the it does offer a cabin that’s jam-packed with luxury and comfort. Plus, 2011 Lexus ES 350 has a smooth, effortless ride that laid-back commuters like and rivals like the BMW 3-Series and Infiniti G37 can’t match.
The 2011 ES 350 prioritizes comfort, luxury and smooth sailing over aggressive performance, creating the perfect car for city and highway cruising. With standard leather seats, a moon roof, dual zone automatic climate control and a great sound system, the 2011 ES 350 may be the most comfortable car available in its price range.
2011 Lexus ES 350 Price List
In addition to a robust list of standard features, there’s a lot more to be added for those with tech appreciation. Top options are rolled into the Lexus ES 350 2011 Ultra Luxury Package, including Intuitive Park Assist, perforated leather with heated and ventilated front seats, a panorama glass roof, a power rear sunshade, and HID headlamps with AFS to help in dark corners.
Unfortunately, the cheapest package costs about $2,000, and the most expensive is about $5,000, making the Lexus 2011 ES 350 price reach almost $40,000. Shoppers receive a lot of high-tech convenient options, but once some buyers calculate their monthly payment they might look elsewhere other than the 2011 Lexus ES 350.
