Exterior and Interior:
On the outside, this 2021 Lexus ES350 F Sport finished in Obsidian black gets F-Sport-specific exterior styling, including a unique front bumper and grille. This sportier mien is completed with a set of F Sport 19-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with a Dark Graphite finish and an optional rear spoiler. However, the ES350 F Sport isn’t a fully blacked-out machine indicating extreme sportiness. It is accented by several exterior chrome elements, denoting its inherent luxury side. On the inside, the car is graced with a slew of F-Sport-specific components. For starters, the car gets 10-way powered, bolstered, heated, and ventilated front seats with memory settings. This particular car is further outfitted with the optional F Sport heated and leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddle shifters along with the standard F Sport leather-trimmed shift knob. The interior flaunts a Hadori Aluminum trim, complemented by a black headliner and aluminum pedals. An F-Sport-specific performance-inspired instrument cluster is part of the standard equipment while the optional Navigation Package adds a large 12.3-inch infotainment display.
Engine:
Powering the 2021 Lexus ES350 F Sport is a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 motor, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain churns out 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 is achieved in an admirable time of 6.1 seconds. F Sport enhancements include front and rear performance dampers with an F-Sport-specific suspension tuning. Even with the sportier suspension and larger wheels, the 2021 ES350 F Sport still manages to deliver compliant ride quality. However, these components enhance the handling characteristics of the ES350, resulting in a more engaging driving experience.
