The 2022 Lexus ES 250 will most probably be available in the same four trim levels, including Base, Luxury, F Sport, and Ultra Luxury. It is nice that Lexus names the trim levels appropriately to make it as easy as possible for customers to choose a special one that suits them. If the trim retains its structure then it is most likely that each trim will be equipped with the same powertrain, which is a 2.5L Inline-4 engine. Every trim level will also have the same AWD drivetrain.
The only thing distinguishing the trims will be the level of comfort and infotainment features that are speculated to be kept in continuation in them. Features on the base model include leather seats, automatic dual-zone climate control, adjustable power seats, and much more. A little information technology upgrade is then offered on the following Luxury trim. Moreover, the F Sports goes on to host the exclusive F SPORT NuLuxe Seat Trim along with 19" x 8J Split-5-Spoke Aluminum Alloy Wheels that signifies the meaning of its nameplate.
However, the Ultra Luxury trim is the one with the most premium features. It will be equipped with heated and ventilated front seats, memory-equipped mirrors and steering wheel, a 12.3-inch screen, and a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system. These variations are of the 2021 model which we firmly believe are going to be replicated in the upcoming model.

Just like the variations, some standard assists have left such an impression on the customer base that scraping them off will be the last thing the engineers will do. Such names include the mention of the Apple CarPlay integration, Android Auto compatibility, Speed Compensated Volume Control, and the HomeLink Garage Door Transmitter. The safety prowess, if in the same status as that of its predecessor, will be no less than a benchmark for others to get inspired by and to follow the lead as the presence of Lexus Safety System+ with Collision Mitigation and Lane Departure Alert is just exemplary.
Which Trim Should You Buy?
Among all the siblings, the features on the topmost trim level, Ultra Luxury, are the most luxurious and appealing. As a high-end luxury sedan, it comes with a wide range of features. However, since the price of more than $49,000 is so high, we wouldn't recommend purchasing it for its features alone. It could have justified its price if the powertrain of the Ultra Luxury trim was slightly more powerful and upgraded from the rest of the trims. However, we recommend that you buy the base trim since it will save you a ton of money and provide you with all the necessary features as well as high-end luxury options that will be enough for daily commuting and ambiance.
2022 Lexus ES 250 Release Date
Though Lexus has released the imagery of the 2022 Lexus ES 250, the official specifications and dates are yet in the shades of gray. Still, we have a tentative prediction in this regard that the release date would be somewhere closer to its on-sale date only for keeping the flow of sales in linearity with the craze it is brewing as per its past performance.
