Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus ES 350 than the Audi S4, due to its greater head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi S4, drivers may find the Lexus ES 350 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.
