TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Lexus ES deletes “sedate” from its vocabulary.

The 2019 Lincoln MKZ is comfortable, quiet, and quick with the right engine, but lacks a refinement that other brands deliver.

TCC Likes

Best-looking ES ever?
ES350 F Sport’s crisp responses
Apple CarPlay, finally!

Hybrid available across the range
Sedate, comfortable manners
Optional twin-turbo V-6 is potent

TCC Dislikes

No all-wheel drive
Complicated infotainment
A sedan in a crossover-crazy world

Discount-feeling interior
Unrefined base engine
Other sedans are more engaging
