Interior Build

 

The 2022 Lexus ES interior features high-quality materials with an asymmetrical and stylish dash. The 2022 Lexus ES interior has a cabin that gives a plush environment to the people seated inside. The rows provide ample legroom for the long-limbed, and the seats give good support. The 2022 Lexus ES interior is silent, even when the car is being driven at high speeds. Both hybrid and gas-only models give a good amount of space in the trunk. This helps the 2022 Lexus ES to surpass other rivals in the midsize luxury sedan segment. But the car does not have folding rear seats. This makes it complicated to take in large cargo items.

 

Utility

 

The 2022 Lexus ES interior and exterior have some minor styling upgrades. This includes a refresh to the design of the center stack and a new grille on the front of the car. If you still feel that the car's appearance is a little drab, the F Sport trim will help you get a dazzling exterior. The updates include a lip spoiler, large painted black wheels, and a dark mesh grille. The 2022 Lexus ES also provides visual touches of a sporty interior. So, at a decent price point, the redesigned 2022 Lexus ES gives a good premium experience. The upholstery is plush and supple. The cabin highlights the brand's attention to detail. It has intricate stitching, high-quality control, and narrow panel gaps. The warranty coverage is also good for the class. The car does not cost much more than some of the cars from its rivals. It is not a bad idea to splurge a little and get the 2022 Lexus ES.

 

Technological Changes

 

The company has given the 2022 Lexus ES many upgrades. The one that stands out is the new touchscreen. In the past, the lineup had an infotainment system that could be controlled by a remote controller only. The 2022 Lexus ES has a touchpad for controlling the system. The previous model had a touchscreen, but it was very cluttered. This made it tough to choose one of the various virtual buttons correctly. The 2022 Lexus ES has a touchscreen closer to the driver, and the interface has been simplified. It will greatly improve the usability of the system. Also, the brand has made some updates to the driver assistance systems. The adaptive cruise control function can increase the car's speed before going for a lane change. The lane-centering features have better recognition of road edges and lanes.

 

Driving Experience

 

You cannot expect a lot of verve or vigor from a midsize luxury sedan. But the 2022 Lexus ES has good handling. It handles the corners well and has overall better body control than other cars in this class. The 2022 Lexus ES is not created for sudden sprints, but the acceleration is satisfactory. The car got to a speed of 60 miles per hour in nearly eight and a half seconds. The vehicle's steering has a similar light and numb feel that is found on many hybrid cars. But the sport mode makes things a bit lively. The braking is not so good. There is a rough sensation when the car switches between its friction and generative brake modes.  But the car is a pleasure to drive due to the smooth acceleration of the automatic gear and the engine. The 2022 Lexus ES feels like it is gliding even in city traffic.

 

Comfort Factor

 

A sense of isolation and comfort are the main features of this car. The front seats are supportive and firm. There are no extra side bolsters to hamper exit and entry. The rear seats are also comfy, but they are a little flat and broad. Passengers can easily sit in the back or upfront for long periods without tiring. The car has not lost its ability to absorb road rash and bumps either. There is a little wind noise at high speeds, more than what is expected from this car. But maybe it is more noticeable because the tire and road noise is completely silenced. The engine noise is also non-existent. It would be good to get some more warmth from the seat heaters.

 

Conclusion

 

The 2022 Lexus ES is a robust choice if you need a fuel-efficient, premium, and spacious midsize luxury sedan at a reasonable price point. The car has a sporty appearance package and upgraded tech features that give it greater appeal.
