The 2012 Lexus ES 350 is part of the fifth generation of the model, which also marked it as a standout fixture in the Lexus lineup. It's powered by a 3.5-L V6 engine that churns out a healthy 268 horsepower, matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's Front-Wheel Drive, with no option for All-Wheel Drive. It comes in a single trim level that's generously equipped with electronics and other luxury features. Key safety features include stability and traction control, antilock brakes, front and rear side airbags, side curtain airbags, and front knee airbags. The 2012 ES 350 notably features a revised navigation system option and the new Nebula Gray Pearl paint color replaces Smoky Granite Mica. Amenities on the tech front include an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and satellite radio, but unfortunately, it doesn't offer Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility. Its cabin is recognized for its space, comfort, and tranquility, epitomizing Lexus' prominent reputation for refinement.
