2009 Lexus ES 350
The 2009 Lexus ES 350
Lexus has two entry-level luxury sedan series on the market, thus giving them an edge over their competition by providing a vehicle that can suite anyone's needs! The IS is the edgier, sport sedan cousin of the comfortable luxury cruiser sedan represented with the ES series.
The 2009 Lexus ES 350 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift capability in order to crank out an outstanding 272 hp and 254 pound-feet of torque. The ES 350 can achieve 0-60 MPH in just 7.1 seconds, while the fuel economy is rated at 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.
The Lexus engineers do not spare on any detail, especially in regards to safety in their luxury performance sedans. Antilock disc brakes, stability control and a full array of airbags (including dual front knee, front-seat side and full-length side curtain) are all standard on the 2009 Lexus ES 350. Another safety option available with the vehicle is a pre-collision system (PCS) that comes packaged with adaptive cruise control, which uses a radar sensor to detect obstacles in front of the car. If the computer determines that a collision is inevitable, it pre-emptively stiffens the suspension, provides pretension in the front seatbelts and initializes brake assist so increased braking can be applied the instant the brake pedal is pressed.
The Lexus engineers devoted themselves to making the interior cabin of the Lexus ES 350 as plush and luxurious as possible. The ES 350 also offers a roomy backseat and a 14.7-cubic-foot trunk with a cargo pass-through for those pesky lengthy items.
All in all, the 2009 Lexus ES 350 truly satisfies the consumer demand for a quality luxury performance sedan that offers great value and affordable pricing.
