Lexus IS vs. Lexus ES

  • Hybrid availability. If you're craving a new, luxury Lexus sedan and you want an efficient and smooth hybrid engine powering it, the Lexus ES is the way to go. This car is available in the optional Lexus ES 300h version, which is powered by a 215-horsepower hybrid inline-four engine. It earns an average of 44 mpg combined and is the only hybrid alternative found in this comparison, as the Lexus IS is strictly a gas-powered sedan.

Comparing the Lineups

  • Cargo space. Side by side and looking at these two cars from the outside, the Lexus ES measures a little more than 10 inches longer than the Lexus IS. When it comes to practical space, this longer design helps the Lexus ES give drivers from King of Prussia to Valley Forge more room for cargo in the rear trunk. In fact, where the smaller Lexus IS sedan has 10.8 cubic feet of space available in its trunk, the Lexus ES has up to 13.9 cubic feet of space available. Both are great for groceries, golf clubs, suitcases, and more, but the Lexus ES will hold a little more of what you need than the Lexus IS.
  • Front seat passenger space. While the Lexus ES has a larger trunk and more room for your cargo, the Lexus IS offers a passenger cabin that's slightly more spacious with more room for you and your front seat passenger to stretch out in. Sitting in the front seat of the Lexus IS, you will enjoy more than two extra inches of legroom in comparison to the Lexus ES, as well as more headroom.
  • Backseat passenger comfort. While the front is more spacious for you and your front seat passenger in the Lexus IS, the Lexus RS offers more room for your backseat passengers to stretch out in. Look for 32.2 inches of backseat legroom in the rear seat of the Lexus IS, but up to 39.2 inches in the rear of the Lexus ES. That's seven inches of extra legroom for the back of the Lexus ES when compared to the smaller sedan.
