Lexus ES Engines and Transmissions

First-generation Lexus ES powertrain examples include the gasoline 2.5 MT and 2.5 AT. The manual transmission lets you choose when to change gears, while the automatic makes stop-start traffic less demanding by handling shifts for you. Both versions send engine power to the front wheels.
