The NHTSA has not yet completed crash testing the new Lexus ES 350, we expect good overall scores for the car. The IIHS has given a decent score to the ES 350 with three “good” scores, one “moderate” score, and one “poor” score. It did get a Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS. That being said, the Lexus comes with many safety features, some of them are:

• Anti-locking braking 
• Electronic brake force distribution
• Brake assist
• Vehicle stability control
• Traction control
• Safety connect

The Lexus ES 350 comes with a good amount of space and slightly modifies looks from the previous year. The engine is good, but the competition makes more power from similar engine set-ups. However, the interior is the selling point and it is comfortable and luxurious with plenty of technology, making this a good car to buy.
