2 Answers
Lexus ES200 and ES260 differ in the following aspects: 1. In terms of power: The ES200 model is equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the ES260 model features a 2.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. 2. In terms of price: The ES260 is more expensive than the ES200. The Lexus ES is one of the most successful and best-selling models in LEXUS history. The body dimensions of the Lexus ES are 4975*1866*1447 MM, with a wheelbase of 2840 MM and a ground clearance of approximately 14 CM. The Lexus ES offers high value for money.
From my recent test drives of the Lexus ES200 and ES260, the core difference lies in their powertrains. The ES200 is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing 177 horsepower, delivering smooth but relatively gentle acceleration, making it ideal for city commuting or family use. The ES260 features a 2.5L engine with 207 horsepower, offering quicker starts and easier highway overtaking. In terms of fuel consumption, the ES200 is more economical, saving about 1L per 100km, which translates to lower daily fuel costs. Other configurations like interior and seat comfort are nearly identical, but the ES260 is priced several ten thousand yuan higher. My recommendation: if your budget allows, go for the 260 for a more thrilling drive; otherwise, the 200 is a cost-effective choice with excellent driving experience.
