If you are looking for a new luxury car, you have probably also considered models like the Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series. But how do these formidable sedans stack up to the ES in a head-to-head matchup? Here is how these vehicles compare.

Lexus ES vs. Audi A6

• The Lexus ES comes standard with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission for easy acceleration on any road. The standard seven-speed automatic transmission of the Audi A6 has fewer gears, which means its acceleration isn't quite as seamless as the ES's.
• Unpredictable gas prices make every drop of gas in your tank count. The Lexus ES comes standard with an outstanding EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon. The Audi A6 comes close, but its highway fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon still falls short of the ES.
• When your rear-seat passengers climb into the Lexus ES, they will appreciate the 39.2 inches of rear leg room. The Audi A6 only offers 37.4 inches of rear leg room. That difference of nearly two inches can make a significant difference for passengers who want to stretch out and get comfortable.
• The Lexus ES offers an available 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, which provides intuitive control over vehicle settings, navigation, audio, apps, and more. Every Audi A6 comes standard with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, with no options to upgrade to a larger display.
• Do you want to save money on gas without sacrificing performance? The Lexus ES offers an available 2.5-liter hybrid I4 engine that produces an impressive 215 horsepower while providing an impressive EPA-estimated 44 miles per gallon combined. While every Audi A6 has a mild hybrid powertrain, they max out at a combined fuel economy of just 26 miles per gallon.

Lexus ES vs. BMW 5 Series

• If you are interested in getting a new luxury car, the ES is priced right, making it a fantastic option for first-time luxury vehicle customers. The BMW 5 Series starts at more than $16,000 more than the Lexus ES.
• When it comes to providing ample leg room, the ES easily surpasses the BMW 5 Series. With 42.4 inches of front leg room and 39.2 inches of rear leg room, you can have plenty of room to rest your tired limbs no matter where you sit. The BMW 5 Series doesn't stack up in this department, with 41.3 inches of leg room in the front and 37 inches in the back.
• Do you want to save money on gas as you drive? Then, a Lexus ES hybrid might be your dream car. The Lexus ES offers a 2.5-liter I4 hybrid engine that produces a stellar EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 44 miles per gallon combined. Every BMW 5 Series engine is a mile hybrid, and none has a better combined fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon.
