2021 Lexus ES 250: Road-trip extraordinaire

The Lexus ES 250 is a quiet, comfortable cruiser and is all the better for it.

With premium materials, comfortable seats and plenty of tech, this Lexus' cabin is a pretty pleasant place. 

The biggest weakness of this car is the dastardly infotainment system and its kludgy trackpad.

There's plenty of comfort and space in this Lexus' backseat. 

Unfortunately, the rear backrests do not fold down, significantly reducing this car's versatility.

ES 250s are powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is, unfortunately, a bit overmatched, providing just 203 horsepower. 

But hey, at least this powerplant is efficient, returning a stellar 32 miles per gallon after a trip of some 700 miles. 

All-wheel drive is standard in the ES 250, a boon for customers living in snowy climates. 

Even though it's a bit sleepy, the ES' design is unmistakably Lexus.
