Lexus ES 2013: Not Exceptional, But It Does Everything Well


The year 2013 was a redesign for the Lexus ES 2013 sedan. This redesign ring and the arrival of the sixth generation. The Lexus ES 2013 does everything well and is luxurious, it displays a price actually quite reasonable for the equipment it offers and has a great warranty coupled with a customer service quite exceptional. Unlike past years, the Lexus ES 2013 no longer shares the platform of the Toyota Camry, but rather that the new Avalon.Thus, it is expected to more space and comfort than the old model.

Mechanical of Lexus ES 2013

If the Lexus ES 2013 platform change for 2013, however, the mechanical model from previous years, which, incidentally, is far from being a criticism. Lexus ES350 therefore uses a V6 3.5-liter dual overhead cam head that always develops 268 horsepower at 6200 rpm and produces a torque of 248 lb-ft at 4700 rpm. The gearbox is a 6-speed electronically controlled automatic. Being larger and heavier than last year, the Lexus ES350 is slightly less efficient to 0 to 100 km / h, but a time of 7 seconds is enough for a car of its class. Regarding the fuel consumption, you earn 10% on last year with scores of 11.2 and 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers.
Regarding the Lexus ES 2013 300h, it always uses the same engine consists of a 4-cylinder engine 2.5-liter DOHC Atkinson cycle whose power is 156 hp and an electric motor, the combined power both engines reached 200 horsepower. The Lexus ES 2013 300h gearbox uses a continuously variable, like most hybrid cars. Its average fuel consumption stood at around 6 liters per 100 kilometers.

Body and interior of Lexus ES 2013

In terms of appearance, we must admit that Lexus made a small effort in redesigning the Lexus ES 2013 sedan. She looks more dynamic and sportier new grille with its hourglass shape. However, we may have a little trouble to distinguish the GS. If you want a really well equipped vehicle, opt for the 350 high-end there is not much missing: perforated leather detector vehicles in the blind spot, sunroof, sunshade for rear windows, Mark Levinson audio system, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel, lark! In terms of ergonomics, the Lexus ES 2013 is a model of its kind.

In the interior is super comfortable. The driver’s seat is electrically adjustable in 10 directions, heating and air conditioning. Rear passengers enjoy plenty of space for the head and knees.
Despite the similarity with his blood sister GS, Lexus ES 2013 is the most comfortable for the family. It also provides excellent braking and steering is significantly improved. It has three driving modes, Normal, Sport and Eco. Sport mode is unique in that it stretches the reports of the gearbox, Eco mode doing quite the opposite. The Lexus ES 2013 is an excellent car given the price that sells.
