The Top 10 Things You Need To Know About The New 2019 Lexus ES 

Lexus is doing something right. These cars are GORGEOUS. Wish I had my own

Lexus is definitely on the right track. I owned 2 RX's, 1 GS, and 1 Audi A4. At the time I purchased those luxury vehicles... I test drove all the other brands... Mercedes as nice as they...they just don't appeal to me and too over price and depreciates quickly over the years. My A4 was bought brand new w/175 miles on it. Great for the first 5 years and all down hill after that... My wife's RX's and my GS performed absolutely and I sold my GS after 4 years for $22K and bought a 1794 Edition Tundra because I moved from Wash DC to the mountains of TN. I know everyone has their favorite brand in the luxury arena but Lexus vehicles just perform, re-sale is great and you get more for your money. I'm a Lexus guy...I work hard for my money and I'm not paying 15k - 30k more for a BMW, Mercedes to see them depreciate to lower cost in 3 to 4 years than a Lexus. You don't even want to talk about the maintenance cost and problems after 4 years with these vehicles. Lexus will eventually offer the ES in an AWD version but not in the introduction of a model change year...more power and AWD will probably come in couple of years. That ES is absolutely beautiful.

The ES does NOT compare to a 3 series, A4, etc. it compares to an A6, 5 series, etc. Idek why Lexus claims this but Lexus builds a car for that class (the IS)

This is a fab video, thanks for sharing!

To all the AWD comments... the ES sells so well because it's FWD! there're too many competitors in the AWD segment and to be honest, it doesn't need it, and this is from an ES owner living in Canada. AWD just uses more fuel, more maintenance, and more upfront cost. I also own a Subaru with full time AWD, so I know the perks of having AWD, but I wouldn't have my ES hybrid any other way.

I'd be interested to see how the interior options stack up against the new Avalon. Right now Lexus hasn't given away any real information regarding features and options. For instance, the Avalon comes with a 14 speaker 1200 watt surround sound option, and I'm wondering if the ES will somehow best that.

Roman You’re the best person to review my favorite Lexus car

Nice looking car! 0:59 Lexus is not only introducing a new sedan in a market craving for crossovers, it's also the only brand that sells two mid-sized sedans (ES & GS).

Doesn't the eco/sport option exist in the non-sport trim model as well? Are the suspensions actually any different? Please let me know.

Woah, the quality of this video is very good guys. Very cinematic. Great job guys

Definite YES re: cars with CD players

excellent presentation

Lexus did a great job on the new ES.

The ES isn't supposed to be a sporty car. Its supposed to be a comfy car. Lowwer the cost for everyone and get rid of the Sport and Sport plus mode. Expecially for a front wheel drive vehicle. This only makes any sense if they axe the GS. Also, if you say the ES is a compact competitor, what is the IS?

4:11 There are even younger people who still prefer the sound quality of a CD, instead of an MP3 track.

It’s beautiful

No Nathan, Lexus couldn't have said the ES competes with those cars. The ES competes with the E Class, 5 series and A6..it's the IS that competes with the 3 series, A4 and C Class...And i will take the Lexus equivalent except for the Lexus IS which has that ugly looks like it's melting front.

I love it👍👍👍👍👍

Looks Muscular! Sportier!. I'd love to own one over any entry level premium brand family car segment.

Beautiful car! :-)

I don't play CDs often but I miss having one in my car because I'd liked to get books on CD at the library and play them on my commute.

I have a 2007 Lexues es and I love it. I bought it as my first car. I think I’ll get this one next.

Definitely will consider scooping me one of these when my lease is up... once it's been used and price goes down. Hope they put AWD in sometime soon but that probs wont happen

ES beautiful 👍🇯🇵❤️

I wonder whether all those who bash this car for being based on Avalon know that Audi’s are based on VWs , and RRs are based on BMWs.

This should have come with AWD.

Does it also get Android Auto play? You only said only Apple & Alexa. Hopeful, wishing...

Fantastic car looks absolutely amazing

It actually _SHARES_ the hood and fenders from the LS? That can't be true. Did you mean to say that the ES shares the _FACT_ that the hood and fenders are aluminum in both the LS and ES?

Please test out its new lane tracing assist(LTS) and see how it is vs propilot, autopilot, supercruise, etc.

Car marketeers have actually ruined the car manufacturing criterias. Every single manufacturer aims for sporty edgy, sharp and actually in daily life useless cars. Meanwhile Lexus goes for soft touch materials, sound deadning, physical buttons, matt finishes instead of scratchy gloss black interiors. Supple ride, comfort first and nice touches such as windows slowing down just before hitting the edge when closing and opening. Things like that are LUXURY not the damn harsh ride, 20 inch flat wheels on runflats, M-sport badges with a massive spoiler and exhaust note. Luxury is something that makes you lift your thoughts from things that you have to do and make you be able to think about the next step on your journey already and that is what Lexus has done with this one. Well done Lexus, cant wait to have these in our Luxury chauffeur car fleet instead of audi A6 and other german cars.

Great Review Roman. I am curious as to why they did offer AWD on this vehicle to truly justify the cost over the platform mate Avalon

great car......

Such an elegant and sophisticated vehicle. Honda/Acura fanboys blood boils when the best of Luxury shines. Plus they tend to troll Toyota/Lexus videos 😂😂🤣🤣 I guess they think Lexus will become devalued like Honda/Acuras lineup lol

where is the followup video with driving impressions??

There will be an ES 350 F-Sport AWD in a few months, plus new engine options further down the road.

there should be a 400 horsepower AWD or RWD car between the ES and LS.

.......that they need to do a new chassis not refresh it! I've got the es300h which is nice cruiser but a little lacking in the mpg a little bit if you ask me. Combine 40mpg in my 2014 is ok then and not so great now.

An ES350 & Toyota Avalon comparison would be helpful and appreciated (for a future video).

He's wrong about one thing. He says the F - Sport comes with the sport knob and the ES doesn't. Well, yes it does! What is amazing to me is when you are turning at low speeds there is a side light that comes on. It is to the left or right of your head lights. Really casts a wide beam of light.

When will Toyota & Lexus add Android Auto integration?

I'm 53 and have Zeppelin greatest hits in my CD player

Its not on the same frame as the Camry, its stretched, so there is more legroom and the wheelbase is longer

Pretty awesome car! I think that ES will take buyers away from Cadillac, Mercedes and definitely Acura. By the way is that Chris still around? LOL!

Front and side sexy Tail lights reminds me of hyundai

Those 3.5l V6s with roughly 300hp have been in production for past 10 years.....it's a nice and super reliable engine but Lexus needs something with at least 350-380 to compete with others. Also 6+ second 0-60 is considered slow today when family sedans are capable of accelerating under 3 seconds!

The ES competes with the 3 series, C Class, and A4? Also, the ES was the entry-level Lexus? Where does that put the IS?

Doesnts compair how it's rivals but it sure would outlast it's rivals tho!

Hmm this was abruptly deleted yesterday morning, why? 🤔

AWD is no there?

It can't be 6.6 secs to 100, i guess he meant 5.6 secs, that's the old time he's quoting for the 5th gen and 6th gen es. This new Es is faster by some margin. You guys should also remind us whenever you do Audi reviews of how the A4 and A6 share similar platform and parts with the Jetta and Passat respectively.

Why not AWD??

TFL ... is it worth waiting for the 2019 ES, before buying a 2018?

lexus should offer turbos for their NA engines make them more exciting toyota.

your missing one thing that this generation lexus es is the replacement of the lexus gs. lexus gs has been discontinued because the gs has less selling unit than before because of the es has great amount of selling unit and another reason is because of SUVs and Crossovers! RIP Lexus GS 😔

For about another 5 years car should all have CD players, lots of people still have cd players and want to play them in their cars because they haven't switched over.

It will not compete with Audi A4, Mercedes C-Claas and BMW 3 Series. It will compete with A6, 5-Series and E-Claas. The reason is, that they delite the GS. The ES replaces it and the old ES. So there is the IS (midsize), ES (upper midsize), LS (fullsize / Luxury-Claas).

Is it me or does the back looks similar to the Mazda 6.........

Does anyone else not like the side mirrors? They look like they cut down on visability

How tall you are?😊

I own a Lexus, but next car will be an Avalon. Just can’t pay 10k more for a badge.

Just about every auto maker makes platforms that are shared, stop pointing that out like they are the only one that does that!

0-60 in 6.6 seconds Fsport??? YAWN!!!! It does look good.

Thank you - for some reason I like Nathan, and Roman compared to Sarah. N and R just bring more maturity to the video. On a side note I had a dream that I sold my s8 and bought a ls500 lol

6.6 to 60 is quick however I will note the Canry is faster which makes no sense and I wont begin on how much quicker the Accord is.

I’m afraid this will kill the GS sales... oh wait

? How much is priced in US dollars

Lexus and Acura are really good at making cars that look fast but aren't at all.

Maybe it's me but I feel like all the current Lexus models look the same ( IS 250 350 LS 300 etc.)

0-60 mph 6.6 seconds that's slower than a Kia Cadenza , Buick Lacrosse and a Hyundai Elantra smh etc

Sorry Dude,, I'm 39 years old And still use CDs !!!!!

Wait, starting price for a 40,000 US dollar for ES? you got to be kidding me

3rd upload 🤔🤔

Great video.. I prefer the infiniti.. Greetings from Yemen

My lexus ls430 has a cassette player and it's a 2006 model, that CD player probably be there until 2030 when world moved onto itunes cranial implants

1. should of been AWD. 2. should have 365-400 HP. 3. should get ride of all plastics. 4. shouldn't have FAKE EXHAUST TIPS.

Stop using the word EMBARGO. Embargo pertains to restriction or ban of goods/trades/commodities with a particular country. The same restriction that the US put on Cuban goods.

Um, you talk about the _inside_ of the trunk and the size yet you don't even show us the inside of the trunk! Instead we get a shot of the underside of the trunk lid. WTF. It would have been great to actually see the inside of the trunk and even how it is with the rear seats folded. Maybe that will be in the full review.

Meh, rather buy the new Avalon. Seriously.

Please give us a new GS this car does nothing for me inside or out, give us something that competes with the A6, E Class and 5 Series, this ES does not come close to competing with those German Products.

A Rebadged Toyota Avalon Same Engine, same Center armrest. In Lexus clothing. Probably worth the extra $10,000 Over the Avalon.

Yet again, the F sport trim is just a ricer trim. No different engine or transmission. They should have went with a 2JZ successor. Sigh

ES="new GS". 🤔

i was planning to buy ES sport badly but since i know that its rear signal rear lights arent dynamic which i want badly im just lost now :( i believe it will be fixed 2020 version i would kill myself if i bought 2019 and 2020 came with it lol RIP

quit w the craving for crossovers! not everybody wants one and why are civics and corollas still the top sellers?

I don't know what the argument is about horsepower and 0 to 60 times. This car with what it has will eventually make the others, some with more power, eventually become extinct. If the regular Joe got to decide what they want in a car, we would all be driving an lifted F450 on 45's with three rows of seating, panoramic sunroof......and everything else that will drive it to extinction. You have to look and see that Toyota and Lexus have to plans to stop selling the conventional sedans...because this and theirs are winners in their classes.

0-60 in 6.6 with 300hp and its lighter than the GS? slow. FWD? no. sporty agressive styling but handles like grandmas Buick? rice. nice car for people who don't care about cars, but the new Avalon and Camry are just as nice inside for less money. You're literally paying for the badge, which is douchey. I don't understand this car or Lexus. Compared to their respective competition, half of their lineup(ES,NX, RX,GX) is absolute crap for the money, and the other half (GS,LS,LX,LC) is very nice for the money, if not best in class. RC and IS are just middle of the road good enough.

3rd reupload? Wth is going on

40k for slow ugly fwd car? So many other options. Even more when you factor in used market.

top 10 things u need to know about 2019 lexus es. 1 - 10 : it is a toyota avalon!!!!

It doesn’t compete with any European rear wheel drive cars...

No Android Auto? Boooooo! Bad Lexus. Luckily all their rivals (except BMW) has it :)

Buy the is its cheaper

An F-sport ES ??!!!

07:49 you should wear some bras with that! jk!

6.6 doesn’t deserve F badge.

Nice car but I prefer the new Acura RDX A-Spec.

the back kinda looks like a chrysler 200

There is no way in hell that someone shopping for a German sport sedan is going to cross shop the Lexus ES. Also don't you think the BMW equivalent to the MB C Class is actually the 4 Series and the Lexus IS and BMW 3 Series are closer to the MB CLA? Lexus is grasping at something that isn't there.

Over priced for a rebranded Camry. Should be all wheel drive with at least 360hp
