Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the ES 250 Premium at RM320,888. The ES 250 Luxury costs RM356,888 and the ES 250 F Sport costs RM371,888, but all three share the same 2,487 cc petrol engine, 204 hp output, conventional automatic transmission and five-seat layout. On paper, the RM36,000 and RM51,000 jumps do not buy more power, so check the equipment list carefully before paying more.

Verdict
The ES 250’s appeal is in the old-school luxury-sedan brief: design, build quality, material selection and driving experience are the areas where the model has shown its strength. The base ES undercuts the Volvo ES90, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class entry prices listed here, but the F Sport is pricier than those entry variants. A new hybrid successor is already on the way.
