DESCRIPTION

**EX DEMO MODEL** **BALANCE OF 7 YEAR / 105 000 KMS MAINTENANCE PLAN** **HEATED SEATS** **XENON LIGHTS** **KEYLESS** **SUNROOF** Sporting a new 2,5-litre, four-cylinder engine under its fluted bonnet, coupled with a new eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, the ES250 makes steady rather than stirring progress. However, there is enough in-gear punch at oxygen-rich coastal altitudes to suggest the engine won’t feel breathless at the Reef. It’s not the quietest of powertrains, sounding strained above 4 000 r/min and penetrating the calm in the quiet cabin, but at steady velocities the din quickly fades into the background. That said, if you’re used to the low-rev muscle of a turbocharged engine, the 2,5-litre’s rate of response will disappoint.
