Lexus sedans are always popular choices in our new vehicle special inventory, and the Lexus IS and ES are fully-equipped with some of the top technology across all trim levels. For example, the Lexus Safety System 2.0+ includes advanced technology like low-light pedestrian detection, daytime bicyclist detection, road sign recognition, and more. And while the Lexus ES has a slightly higher price point, the ES also includes slightly more premium features:
The Lexus IS offers three engine options with either rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, while the Lexus ES offers two engine options of its own with fuel-efficient front-wheel drive. Compare the engine specs and mpg ratings here.
Between the two models, the Lexus ES has the advantage when it comes to interior cargo capacity, and the Lexus IS has a little extra headroom and legroom overall.
