If your priority is serene, comfortable travel above all else, the Lexus ES is your car. I switched from an SUV, and I've never felt more relaxed in Dubai traffic. The ride is unbelievably smooth, soaking up bumps on even the rougher roads with ease.

The hybrid system is the real star here. It's whisper-quiet in traffic, saving a fortune on petrol, yet it has instant power for confident highway merging. The cabin is a library on wheels, beautifully built and isolated from the city's noise. The air conditioning is a champion, cooling the spacious interior almost instantly—a true luxury in our summer.

It’s not a sporty car, and the low stance means being careful with curbs. But for a daily commute that feels like a first-class lounge, whether you're crawling on SZR or cruising to Abu Dhabi, the ES is an incredibly smart and comfortable choice.
