With eight standard airbags (including side airbags in the front and side-curtain air bags that cover the front and back) plus standard stability control, the ES 330 fares a bit better in testing than its structural sibling, the Toyota Camry. The ES 330’s 2007 model-year replacement has already gone on sale. It’s even better equipped, more luxurious and gets standard knee airbags as well.
