Just because you’re headed to the grocery store doesn’t mean your trip should be any less thrilling. Luckily, both high-end sedans are powered by a 3.5L V6 engine . What does that mean for you? An incredible experience backed by power each time you slide behind the wheel.

Although both sedans are powered by a similar powertrain and generate 267 lb-ft of torque , the 2022 Lexus ES 350 offers more horsepower than the Avalon. With this luxury option, you’ll get more oomph with 302 horsepower compared to the 301 horsepower in the Avalon.

One horsepower may not seem like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, it makes plenty of difference. Looking at the ES 350, this is evident with its acceleration time of 6.6 seconds when going from 0 to 60 MPH.

With steadfast acceleration like that, you can easily rev up to speed on your normal routes or overtake other drivers on the highway.

If you’re like many drivers, then you spend quite a bit of time behind the wheel. With so much time spent in the driver’s seat, you’ll need a sedan that feels like a home away from home. This is something that both the Toyota Avalon and the Lexus ES 350 offer. In both models, you’ll find:

• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Available heated and ventilated seats
• Available heated steering wheel

Although both sedans have these comfort features, Lexus ES 350 drivers will have an easier time finding that sweet spot thanks to the standard 10-way front seats or available 14-way power driver seat . The Avalon, on the other hand, only offers 8-way power-adjustable seats.

As you hit the road, go ahead and play your favorite tunes from your smartphone—it’s as easy as connecting your device through standard Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, or Android Auto™ . These features allow you to safely access apps like navigation, phone contacts, and internet radio streaming while you drive.

However, you may find the available 12.3-inch touchscreen display in the Lexus makes it easier to see your media than the 9-inch touchscreen in the Toyota.

When you compare the Lexus and the Toyota side by side, you’ll notice they offer similar builds. Both sedans measure 195.9 inches in length , but the Lexus ES 350 offers extra width and height than the Avalon.

While the interior amenities of your sedan help boost your experience, you’ll also have plenty of room for your whole family. Let’s see how the differing exterior measurements in these models affect the amount of room there is for you and your passengers:
