Lexus ES Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1989–1991) — First Generation
The first-generation Lexus ES offers an early take on the brand’s luxury sedan formula. If you’re considering one today, condition and service history deserve close attention alongside your preferred transmission.
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.
