In a general sense, the ES’s ride and handling balance fits the brief, if less so for the former and more for the latter. Given the highlight reel of changes centres mostly around stiffening the rear suspension structure and not much else, it’s fair to expect that the mid-sized Lexus hasn’t suddenly transformed into a 3 Series hunter. On the RoadĮngineers have thrown a spanner or three at the GA-K platform that debuted in the seventh-generation ES, which managed to massage a semblance of dynamic alacrity in a five-metre-long front-driver encumbered with lugging around hybridisation’s hefty technical excesses. Worth noting here, too, is just how quiet the ES is on the move, mostly down to the amount of physical sound deadening applied to the sedan’s structure, but also via the active noise cancelling smarts facilitated by the sound system.
