ONE OWNER! CLEAN CARFAX! The 2003 Lexus ES 300 was unchanged, after undergoing a complete redesign for the previous model year. For now, the ES had gained a new status within the Lexus lineup, finally relieved of its entry-level classification. The new ES 300 featured more room and amenities than its predecessors, and the exceptional ride quality was of course unaltered. Sticker price reflected the revisions, as Lexus attempted to establish the ES as more of a peer of the LS 430. For the last time, the ES 300 housed a 3.0 liter V-6. This engine made 210 horsepower and 220 pound-feet of torque. The 0-60 mph mark remained at about eight and a half seconds. The engine utilized Toyota's Variable Valve Timing technology, which improved power, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Fuel economy was observed at 21/29 mpg.
