Dependable Luxury, Dated Edge: Inside the 2025 Lexus ES350 F SPORT sedan

For this episode, we conduct a full review of the Lexus ES350 F Sport Handling sedan. The ES still delivers what made it a bestseller: quiet confidence, rock-solid reliability, and a price that feels fair. On-demand drive modes, smooth V6 power, and a whisper-quiet cabin make long trips easy. Yet we call out misses that matter—rear seats that don’t fold, iffy speed limit sign recognition, and stodgy styling that has lost some spark. If simplicity is the new luxury, the ES still shines, but it could use a bolder edge to win hearts as well as minds.
