If you go to Lexus’s website and look up the available non-hybrid models, you’ll see nine different offerings, ranging from the base ES 250 AWD to the athletic ES 350 F Sport Handling. Expect that array of choices to grow by one for 2025 with the return of the Black Line Special Edition package.
It’s been four years since Lexus offered it on the ES 350. The F Sport-based 2021 version was limited to 1,500 cars and came with black mirror caps, dark F Sport wheels, and a black rear spoiler. This time around, the Black Line Special Edition package will be available on only 1,000 North American-market ES 350 F Sport Handling models in Iridium, Cloudburst Gray, Obsidian, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, or Ultra White with the choice of a White, Circuit Red, or Black NuLuxe interior.
In addition to the ES 350’s 302-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission, standard equipment consists of the F Sport Handling’s Sport+ and Custom drive modes, Intuitive Parking Assist, sport-tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension, heated F Sport steering wheel, Hadori aluminum trim, aluminum pedals, and black headliner.
On the outside, the Black Line treatment adds Obsidian mirror housings, black lower rocker panels, F Sport puddle lamps, and a black rear lip spoiler. Interior features include F Sport door switch plates, Lexus Interface with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, Panoramic View Monitor, and a SmartAccess key card. Sadly, the Mark Levinson Premium Audio System is not on that list, but it can be added as an option.
Prices for the 2025 ES will start at $43,190, which includes a $1,150 Dealer, Processing, and Handling fee. The ES 350 F Sport Handling will have a base price of $49,650. Adding the Black Line Special Edition package’s exclusivity, style, and conveniences raises that by another $3,965. Expect to see 2025 ESs on Lexus lots this summer, but don’t get your hopes up for seeing an ES 350 Black Line. Given its limited production run, you may just have to wait another four years for the next iteration of it.
