Our Take on the 1992 Lexus ES300 Base
The 1992 ES300 is an important vehicle to Lexus for the sedan market segment. The Base is a member of a series of one trim levels for the ES300 which include Base. The four-door car with its front-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Lexus. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.
Performance
The ES300 Base is equipped with a Toyota 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 4-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.
The fuel system for the 1992 ES300 is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.
The ES300 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
ES300 Base Statistics
The ES300 is 187.80 inches long, 70.10 inches wide, and 53.90 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 103.10 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $26,550 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.
The standard warranty period for the ES300 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.
Fuel Efficiency
The ES300 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of 17 - 19 in-city driving and 24 - 26 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
In Summary
The 1991 model began the promise of the Lexus ES300. The 1992 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Lexus hopes that the ES300 Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
