Es 300 Vs Es 330

[ZINFANDEL22]

I was wondering what are the differences between the ES300 and the ES330 and what year they changed? exterior and interior? thans

[steviej]

In 2004 the ES300 became the ES330 because the engine increased in size from a 3.0L to a 3.3L. Body remained unchanged. I think the only other amenitiy that was added was memory settings for the passenger seat (but that may not have been until 2005).

2005 saw a redesing of the grill, fog lights, headlights, wheels, taillights and color schemes interior and exterior. I believe in 2005 the steering wheel controls for the audio system were finally implemented.

also, from msn auto website:

" New for 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ES 300 is renamed the ES 330 for 2004 with the addition of a 225-horsepower 3.3-liter V6 engine and a revised 5-speed automatic transmission. In addition, side-impact airbags are larger and the optional satellite navigation system is improved. "

" New for 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ES 330 received freshened exterior styling, Cashmere or Ash interior leather colors, available Golden Bird’s Eye Maple interior wood trim, revised steering wheel with audio and display controls, optional 17-inch wheel package, and available heated/ventilated front seats. "

The passenger seat memory didn't come out until 2005.

In 04 when the car switched to the ES330 the engine obviously was retooled, the nav system was the new generation Toyota/Lexus nav with the DVD drive behind the screen (no more nav drive in the trunk), no more cassette player, the readout for the passenger airbag status was improved, and the seats were slightly reshaped for greater comfort (they're firmer, I like mine better personally).
