As the only Lexus sedan oriented to front-wheel-drive (FWD) format, ES 330 returns for 2005 as an elegant mid-size model featuring fresh exterior styling and new trim and appointments in the cabin. The sleek form of the ES reveals a sculpted hood defined by bold triangular headlamp clusters and a severely raked windshield offset by flat flanks and gracefully curved windows. It looks aggressive but streamlined and stylish -- and downright expensive. Climb inside to discover a luxurious compartment trimmed in fine leathers and wood. Editions of 2005 contain new golden bird's eye maple or burled walnut wood trim inside with options for a six-disc CD changer, a navigation system with voice activation and a bumper camera that displays images of the vehicle's reverse-moving view on a dashboard video screen. Power comes from the Lexus 3.3-liter V6 rated at 225-hp with a 5-speed electronic automatic transmission. Many safety features go into the ES 330, including side curtain air bags above side front and rear windows plus frontal and seat-mounted side air bags. A vehicle skid control system (VSC) is available, plus an adaptive suspension.
