Lexus ES250 FAQs

• Is the ES250 the same size as the ES350?

  While the two models share a similar body width, the E250 actually edges out its sibling in terms of length. Mind you, it's just a few centimetres in it, but it certainly adds to the spaciousness of the cabin in the ES250. On the other hand, the ES350 is slightly taller - if we're splitting hairs really - but it has a smaller ground clearance compared with the ES250. So as you can see, the two models differ in a small way, but one that might change your experience.

• What is the Lexus ES250?

  The ES250 is a mid-size luxury executive car that has been around for the best part of more than three decades. It is sold with a number of different trims. The current version of the ES250 features petrol and hybrid options, with a level of driving finesse that will leave you picking your jaw up from the ground. One of the most-recognised names from the Lexus range, the ES250 is a great value car for those eyeing a car that is priced at a relatively fair level for a luxury unit.

• What year did the Lexus ES250 come out?

  You'll need to turn back the clock all the way to 1989, as that was the year the first Lexus ES250 hit the market. In fact, it was one of two models sold by Lexus as part of its debut year! That means there is a lot of history in the ES250 name, and it even spawned the creation of a second-generation upgrade just a couple years later in the ES300. From there, we've been seeing new ES models come through on a regular basis over the years, and this is one range that isn't showing signs of looking tired.
