Thinking of buying the 2020 Lexus ES?
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2020 Lexus ES for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2020 Lexus ES, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the ES
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 5.3 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 16 litres of fuel. A 300 km weekend costs about $24.66 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the ES makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 396 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the ES for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the ES tells you more than any review. If the ES is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.22 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $82.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
