The ES strikes a balance between smoothness and spunk with the ECO, Normal and Sport driving modes. The ES 350 is powered by a 268-horsepower V6 engine while the hybrid ES 300h combines an electric motor with a four-cylinder gasoline engine for a combined output of 200 horsepower. Both versions of the ES offer optional Touring and Executive Packages, the latter including a 15-speaker sound system and a panoramic sunroof.
