CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Lexus ES

Summary
With 89 currently listed for sale near Raleigh, NC and an average price of $34,988, 70.8% of 2023 Lexus ES models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Lexus ES 5 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2023 ES models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Lexus ES stands out as a luxury sedan that prioritizes comfort, quietness, and an easygoing driving experience over flash or aggression. It is based on the same platform as the Toyota Avalon and Camry from this era, and the redesign brought increased structural rigidity, a wider stance, and an overall increase in length of almost three inches. Lexus also moved the seating position lower and further back, which helped create additional rear-seat legroom. The styling is more expressive than before, with a large spindle grille, sharp body creases, and a coupe-like roofline.
For 2023, Lexus introduced the F Sport Design, which dropped the adaptive dampers and sportier suspension tune. The ES 350 came with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 producing 302 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, while the ES 300h hybrid paired a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a CVT for a combined 215 hp. Standard equipment on the base ES included synthetic leather upholstery, heated power front seats, LED headlights, a power moonroof, and a full suite of safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, traffic-sign recognition, and high-beam assist. Available options included a Mark Levinson stereo, a head-up display, a panoramic glass roof, surround-view cameras, a power rear sunshade, triple-beam LED headlights, a digital key, and a wide range of driver-assistance features.
That mix of comfort, equipment, and safety helps explain the ES’s appeal, especially for buyers who want a refined sedan with strong value. At the same time, the ES remains tuned primarily for smoothness rather than aggressive acceleration, and it is not especially inspiring to drive or look at.

Downsized from BMW 540i for more comforts but still decent pop/handling. ALL main cabin features of BMW transferred to Lexus ES though some learning on new systems will be required. Great the control pad on the console has been replaced in 2023. Saved roughly $20K upfront with Lexus plus more ongoing with regular, not premium, fuel. ES hybrid would have saved even more ongoing but I was not ready to take that drastic of a performance drop yet.

This was the second time we purchased a Lexus ES 350 because there’s just NO Better Car Out There! The perfect combination of Safety, Economy & Luxury all wrapped into one beautiful car! There are, of course, many safety features; everything from key controlled alarm systems, maps & voice directions to state of the art braking systems! You get better than expected miles per gallon, and the value of these cars do not depreciate quickly! And the comfort; you don’t feel bumps in the road - shocks are outstanding ! Not only do they have heated seats to keep you warm in winter - they also have cooling seats to kept you cool in the summer! Multiple body positioning options - including lower back support is comfortable beyond belief! And there is oh so much more! With plush body style and rare color mixes like “Midnight Blue” & “Champaigne,” they are really lovely vehicles to look at! Once you drive a Lexus ES - No Other Car Will Do!

Is the 2023 Lexus ES a good car?
Yes — the 2023 Lexus ES earns a 5/5 user rating, and its appeal is built around comfort, quietness, and an easygoing driving experience. It is aimed at you if you want a refined luxury sedan with a soft ride, a premium-feeling cabin, and a strong value proposition rather than a sporty personality. The tradeoff is that it is tuned more for smoothness than excitement, so it fits best if you prioritize relaxed daily driving over aggressive performance. 37.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2023 Lexus ES reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2023 Lexus ES is described as a comfort-first luxury sedan with a quiet cabin and a reputation for refinement. Its straightforward, easygoing character and emphasis on smoothness over complexity can be appealing if you want a used luxury sedan that feels settled and low-stress to live with. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the specific car has been maintained well and has not picked up hidden wear from prior use.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Lexus ES?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a history report on any listing you like, even if it looks clean at first glance. Put a pre-purchase inspection at the top of your checklist so you can confirm the condition of the suspension, brakes, electronics, and interior wear. Focus on overall maintenance history and cosmetic condition, since a comfort-oriented luxury sedan should feel well cared for inside and out.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Lexus ES?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 37.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,091 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices are up 2.56% year-over-year.
- Clean inventory: 87.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $36,687, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Lexus ES's resale value?
The current average of $39,021 sits slightly above last year's $38,048.
That upward move suggests the market still values this model year well, which can help support resale confidence if you buy carefully. A stable price trend also matters if you plan to sell later, because it signals that shoppers continue to see the ES as a desirable used luxury sedan. Strong demand for clean, well-kept examples should help the best cars hold their appeal.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Lexus ES or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 37.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices are up 2.56% year-over-year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $34,942, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $39,021 average.
- It offers multiple powertrain choices for buyers who want more flexibility.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of inventory, condition, and demand, the 2023 is the better primary pick. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still fits the same comfort-first mission.
