One thing I really love about this model is when you get in and out after driving, not only does the steering wheel move up, but the seat goes back making it easy to get out, and when you get back in and start, the seat moves forward. That’s pretty cool. The multiple ways to drive/shift is cool with 8 shifting, Love it. The touch screen and speak option is way better than using the touch pad from the 2021 model. Overall, this is the best model yet. Except one thing, my favorite silver paint option is no longer available. But have to add, the vibrations in the steering wheel if you drive on or over lines is cool, plus it also tracks info and lets you know its time for coffee. I can honestly say that this is the best safety vehicle with comfort around hands down. 👍
I just bought the AWD ES250 - perfect vehicle for what I wanted - also, everyone complaining about the trackpad needs to have a seat - I love the trackpad and it’s more comfortable to use than a touchscreen ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a superb car and I just purchased an ES300h, 2022 model, in North Carolina. It has 18" wheels which are awesome looking. They have Bridgestone Turanza all season radials. But not performance radials, thank goodness; those are expensive and wear out fast. It is not an Ultra Luxury but does have the wide 12 inch screen and Mark Levinson sound. So, it has everything I need including an HUD (heads up display) and yet is around $4000 less than an Ultra Luxury. It even has the feature where I can kick under the rear bumper and open the trunk! Ha, instead of kicking tires anymore, you can just kick the air under the trunk!!!
Just traded an Avalon for a new Lexus ES 350 for two reasons. More insulation for road-noise, and lane tracing assistance with follow-up distance assistance. Both objectives are met better than I expected. The Lexus salesperson did not exaggerate the driving assistance and said that it is not nearly as good as Tesla. However, it satisfies my needs. Tesla is out for me because of service issues. I am counting on the Lexus reputation for service. I understand Lexus is working on new improved driving assistance called "Teammate". I will be in line when this is available.
@@AskJakeit’s awesome, and the best in my opinion, but you have to experience for yourself. I wonder what 2023 will be like, since 2022 had everything in this model.
The full range adaptive control is technically a budget autopilot system. I tried it on my friend's Venza 21, and it makes driving in traffic or long distance so much more comfortable.
One correction on the adaptive cruise control if you stop in stop and go traffic for more than a second or two you do need to hit the gas pedal to get back up to the speed set or speed of the traffic. Also if for some reason you hit your gas when using adaptive and go over what you are set at if the traffic in front all of a sudden drops way below what you are set at the system can’t compensate and you will have to hard brake. The Tesla model S I had always gave a warning that you have the gas engaged when the autopilot was on. Perhaps a good safety feature could be an audible warning. This happened to me as I was set at the speed limit plus 3 and came upon a car going under the speed limit and I moved over into the left lane and normally I always increase my speed to match the left lane as to not become an obstruction as I pass and of course the traffic jammed to a halt as I was passing and got the collision warning and had to brake hard.
@@johnross8614 You just need to hit RESUME in Adaptive cruise control after it stops !! No Gas pedal, No Brake !!! Just hit Resume !! You obviously have not driven the car !1
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you for clarifying on the color of the brown and how the camera makes it look more orange on camera. will definitely find myself there very soon 👍
I test drove this today and love it! My husband not so much! I'm getting it anyway lol. My only negatives are how old school the buttons are under the infotainment screen and the 12in screen itself. I thought it was too big.
Still got an 02 es300 rides smoother than most of these new cars. Built like a tank. Nothing feels cheap about unlike other car brands who make light plastic interior and cut corners
I love how you delivered this, you actually just made me fall in love with this car. I love your quick attention to details, those little things really do matter. Definitely getting this. Consider me subscribed to your channel. Cheers
I just got a 2015 one owner es 350 with only 42k miles and the navigation package from Carvana last month. The car is unbelievably mint...omg. But I do wish the newer models kept the screen recessed. The new touch screens look so like giant iPads just slapped on the dashboard. It's a real minus for me.
I'm still driving the 2007 ES350, it has 140K miles on it and it's still as smooth as ever, not planning to trade it in anytime soon. I suppose 2022 model will last well into 2050 for anyone who buys it. Lol!
You all are very lucky, because as you I have a 2007 ES 350 with 93k miles and I spent so much money fixing it. At the present time, I have to replace the CYLINDER BRAKE MASTER and the ACTUATOR ABS TOTAL COST= $ 4,724.54 because the pedal sinks to the floor. I just changed the ALTERNATOR for almost $ 2,000 at Westminster Lexus shop..
I definitely want to buy an ES350 in the near future. Leaning towards the Ultra Luxury especially considering I will be keeping the car long-term. Never understood why the "Ultra-Luxury" ES350 does not have heated rear seats when the much cheaper Toyota Avalon Limited built on the same production line has it. Nevertheless this is a beautiful car that's my only gripe.
Gorgeous car, except the in built navigation is still outdated. Apple car play helps fill the gap, but Lexus should offer a better nav for 2022 for a >45k car.
Hey Jake can you make new video about what the difference and new features on 2022 Lexus ES 300h, 300h Luxury, 300h Ultra Luxury and 300h F Sport and please review and thank you Jake!
That’s a great idea! Here’s a link to the video I made for the 2022 ES 300h FSport in case you haven’t seen it yet ua-cam.com/video/qUyeid673ko/v-deo.html
I have a nice 2020 ES 300h premium. I will upgrade to the Ultra Luxury model within a year. The #1 thing I hate on my model is the horrible audio 10 speaker system. If the Mark livistion 1800 watt 17 speaker audio system sounds good it will work. Plus I do want the 10 way seat. And the sun shades are nice. Lexus should do a better job on the brakes for the hybrid. My Honda hybrid brakes work better then the Lexus I'm surprised on that. I have considered updating my audio system but rather have the 1800 watt system.
I have a 2019 es300h and brakes are pretty good imo but then again I came from cars that didn’t have good brakes to start off with lol have the luxury package and sound system could use some more bass but other than that everything is crystal clear with sound
IMO I’ll categorize this as Luxury instead of Ultra luxury to which only the 3 headed monsters are the only ones that belong. There still are many hard plastics in some parts.
I have a feeling when Lexus goes to the twin turbo engine you’re going to see a lot of people bringing their cars to the shop. The reliability will be gone.
Nice review! This car is a sweet ride. Did I notice a CD 📀 player under the A/C controls? The Lexus brand is very popular in my area. Greetings from Dallas, TX, USA!!
In the car business, there is a rule of thumb that for every $5,000 you finance it equals $100/mo on your payment. Also, interest rates are pretty crazy so it’s hard to ball park it. But, let’s say you’re financing $50,000 your payment will be about $1000 give or take
Hey Jake. Of all the ES trim packages, which ones feature acoustic laminated windshield and side glass front and rear? I assume ultra luxury does but what about the other trims? Also, note to Lexus: Does the dash HAVE to be all black? The previous generation had seat matching tones on the dashboard.
Thanks for watching! All of the ES models have Ultraviolet (UV)-cutting, acoustic glass front windshield, and Water-repellent, Ultraviolet (UV)-cutting front-door glass and UV-cutting rear-door glass. But you have to go to the Luxury package (and up) to get the Water-repellent, Ultraviolet (UV)-cutting and acoustic front-door glass.
Two different issues. They aren't heated because cheapout. They don't fold down because for 30 years, all ES's have replaced the fold-down seats of the Camry/Avalon with an extra trapezoidal brace for structural rigidity that only leaves enough room for a ski pass-through.
Yes. Also, in my opinion, I think they leave the more luxurious rear seat to the LS 500, since it is the flagship, and must be set apart from the other sedans.
I hate to hear it because of my timetable I can’t get a new ES for about three years but I hear the next GEN one with no longer have a six cylinder 😫 do you have any insight on this Jake? Thx!
You're not the only one asking this. Looks like they give the Lexus and Toyota product planners some autonomy from each other. I think Lexus tried to add features elsewhere in the car while holding the price line from the previous gen, and this feature was a casualty. They offer it in other countries.
Nice, but il keep my 2014 UL es350 anyday. The dash in these are horrible looking. The only thing I like about the 2022 is the front grille and all the new amenities, like the newer pano roof how it's larger and not separated like the older models. I'm not a fan of that sharp body line going down the side.
If the Lexus seats still have the adjustment on the side of the seat, I'll stick with Mercedes. With limited mobility on my left side, reaching across with my right hand to adjust the seat is challenging and sometimes impossible.
Does this ultra luxury ES 350 NOT have heated & ventilated rear seats? My Avalon Limited has that feature. At the 2:54 mark I noticed this luxury car on the driver’s side has only two accessory features but there is a place for four! An ultra luxury car that’s still missing some features? Maybe this model isn’t a fully loaded model and they hoped no one would notice..😉😉 Still a beautiful car though!
That's correct. Not heated and not ventilated, and you're not the only one who finds that omission a head scratcher. Some features were left out for the US that are available in other countries. Not only this, but also rear seat limo-style controls. I think they were trying to stay close to the previous gen's price point ($40k to start, $54k loaded) while adding other features, but it is odd.
Yes. Good observations. I'm thinking that they also left some to be desired so that they could differentiate the ES from the LS. Where as the Avalon is the largest/top model for Toyota, the LS is the bad boy for Lexus.
The Avalon (on which the ES is based) has fold-down rear seats. Competitors like the E-Class and the BMW 5-series have fold down rear seats. Especially as the sedan market is cooling off a lot in America, adding this feature would only make sense.
I was about to purchase a ES350 from you guys in April but you are not a part of Capital One Auto Navigator. I ended up getting one from CarMax 2017 ES350. My next Lexus is going to be as LS500. Once the Recession hits and these prices come down. I wish Lexus would make some of these features Standard. 😕
Overall it was a good video however you did not specify if the rear seat is heated and ventilated also can we open the trunk with a cake if you have your hands full
Thanks for the critiques. I’ll make sure to cover that next time! This one does have a Kick Sensor on the trunk, but no ES models have heated or ventilated rear seats
That’s a great question. I have seen Lexus use that same 4 button system on the NX and the UX. The best answer I have for you is that this ES has every option I can think of, so those blanks really are just place holders. On the NX, that’s where you would see the Auto High Beams, locking differential, heated steering wheel, and pano view. But the ES doesn’t have locking diff, and the other features have different locations throughout the ES
One thing I really love about this model is when you get in and out after driving, not only does the steering wheel move up, but the seat goes back making it easy to get out, and when you get back in and start, the seat moves forward. That’s pretty cool. The multiple ways to drive/shift is cool with 8 shifting, Love it. The touch screen and speak option is way better than using the touch pad from the 2021 model. Overall, this is the best model yet. Except one thing, my favorite silver paint option is no longer available. But have to add, the vibrations in the steering wheel if you drive on or over lines is cool, plus it also tracks info and lets you know its time for coffee. I can honestly say that this is the best safety vehicle with comfort around hands down. 👍

What’s the monthly payment for 5 years with no down payment with excellent credit score for this model? Just a ball park figure.
In the car business, there is a rule of thumb that for every $5,000 you finance it equals $100/mo on your payment. Also, interest rates are pretty crazy so it’s hard to ball park it. But, let’s say you’re financing $50,000 your payment will be about $1000 give or take
Only thing this doesn’t have is heated rear seats. Don’t know why they don’t include that as an option.
I hear you. I believe it has to do with setting it apart from the LS 500... or maybe to keep the price point lower.
This is not a review this is a showcase....
You're right! It's an overview. Thanks for watching!
The ES should be made to look more like the IS.

Yes. Good observations. I'm thinking that they also left some to be desired so that they could differentiate the ES from the LS. Where as the Avalon is the largest/top model for Toyota, the LS is the bad boy for Lexus.
Side window sunshade but no fold-down rear seats? Huge disappointment.
Thanks for the comment!
It has the pass through. I've looked at several ES350 at my local dealer and the trunk is quite big. If you need more, get the RX?
The Avalon (on which the ES is based) has fold-down rear seats. Competitors like the E-Class and the BMW 5-series have fold down rear seats. Especially as the sedan market is cooling off a lot in America, adding this feature would only make sense.
@@jasonfurtado3758 Great suggestion
Why would they go backwards with the key fob.
Not sure what you mean, but thanks for watching!
This video looks like it was shot with a filter on?
All natural sir! The new iPhones may have an automatic setting that I don’t know of… but I didn’t add anything
I was about to purchase a ES350 from you guys in April but you are not a part of Capital One Auto Navigator. I ended up getting one from CarMax 2017 ES350. My next Lexus is going to be as LS500. Once the Recession hits and these prices come down. I wish Lexus would make some of these features Standard. 😕
I hear you. I'm glad you're part of the Lexus family!
Overall it was a good video however you did not specify if the rear seat is heated and ventilated also can we open the trunk with a cake if you have your hands full
Thanks for the critiques. I’ll make sure to cover that next time! This one does have a Kick Sensor on the trunk, but no ES models have heated or ventilated rear seats
Hi jake, how do you like it compared to the hybrid model?
I love the MPG on the Hybrid, but there is something nice about that time tested V6
Hey Jake ... Is that a CD player? Thanks
Sure is! Single-disc
@@AskJake good for Lexus! Rare item on a vehicle now. Glad they still have one. Thanks
What’s the MSRP of the model you reviewed?
$55,725 Thanks for asking! Most of the time I’ll post the MSRP in the description.
Does the 2022 ES Ultra Luxury come with fog lights?
Great question. Actually the Lexus ES doesn't have fog lights on any trim level.
If this is Ultra, what is LS?
The LS is a whole other level💯
Can I get white with black rims? And the pano roof?
The ultra luxury always comes with the brushed sound dampening wheels, so you’d have to get black wheels separately
Awesome car. Good review
Thanks so much!
Is there an ultra luxury model without panoramic roof? I don't like the pano roof.
Yes, the pano roof is an added option
@@AskJake thank you.
What options were missing on the left side of the dash? Blanks are so 2nd rate.
That’s a great question. I have seen Lexus use that same 4 button system on the NX and the UX. The best answer I have for you is that this ES has every option I can think of, so those blanks really are just place holders. On the NX, that’s where you would see the Auto High Beams, locking differential, heated steering wheel, and pano view. But the ES doesn’t have locking diff, and the other features have different locations throughout the ES
It's very nice, but add some horsepower and torque.
Thanks for the comment!
Where can I find one? I’m tired of going to empty lots
I hear you! it's hard to find. Just keep looking and call ahead
Please Mr. Jake, what about the Lexus LS2022
Hey there, I still don't have any new info on the 2022 LS. Keep watching tho!
