Lexus ES Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1994–1996) — Second Generation Restyling
When choosing a restyled second-generation Lexus ES sedan, look beyond the version name. Service records and a thorough test drive can help you assess how well an individual car has aged.
The 3.0 AT and 3.0 MT are examples of gasoline, front-wheel-drive powertrains in this Lexus ES generation. The automatic handles gear changes for you, easing the workload in traffic, while the manual gives you direct control over gear selection and requires clutch work in stop-start driving.
