What model engine is used in the Lexus ES?
2 Answers
The Lexus ES uses engine models M20AFKS, A25AFKS, and A25BFKS. The pure gasoline version is equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Lexus ES hybrid version is powered by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Lexus ES has a length, width, and height of 4900mm, 1820mm, and 1450mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. The vehicle is equipped with a series of intelligent and forward-looking active safety configurations, including a pre-collision safety system and a blind-spot monitor for lane changes. The pre-collision safety system helps actively detect obstacles ahead during driving and automatically applies brake assistance and pre-tightens seat belts when a collision is unavoidable.
What engine model does the Lexus ES use? I've driven the 2023 ES350, which comes with a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine, model name 2GR-FKS, delivering around 300 horsepower. The power output is smooth, throttle response is quick, and there's hardly any noticeable jerkiness when driving. This engine has been in use for over a decade, and Lexus has continuously optimized it, with excellent noise control—it remains very quiet even at highway speeds. Some newer models have shifted to the 2.5L four-cylinder ES250, model A25A-FKS, which is more fuel-efficient but offers less horsepower. Personally, I think the V6 is more classic and reliable, with simple maintenance—just regular oil changes and no major issues. Given the ES's positioning as a luxury sedan, the engine matches well, providing a strong sense of driving comfort, suitable for daily commutes or long trips. If performance isn't a priority, the ES300h hybrid version with a 2.5L hybrid engine, model A25A-FXS, is also worth considering. In short, choosing an engine depends on your needs, and Lexus offers reliable quality.
