LEXUS ES

WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW LEXUS ES

The new ES features improvements to its driving refinement, new Adaptive Variable Suspension for F SPORT models, and an evolved Lexus Safety System + on all models. 

OUTSTANDING FUEL CONSUMPTION

The ES 300h hybrid leads the German ADAC’s Ecotest ‘upper middle class’ segment, being the only model to reach 4 stars out of 5.                                                                

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

To mark the launch of the ES 300h Self-Charging Hybrid, we released a one-of-a-kind emotionally intelligent advertisement created to respond to your emotions. 

HIGHLY RIGID / LIGHTWEIGHT PLATFORM

The ES 300h has an extremely rigid platform/body to deliver a ride that is particularly refined and stable. Constructed using advanced Laser Screw Welding and the latest adhesive technology - that, together with extensive use of lightweight materials - has helped minimise weight to improve performance. In addition, the suspension tower brace in the engine bay and the redesigned rear suspension member further strengthen the rigidity of the car.

4TH GENERATION LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE

Thanks to its 4th generation Self-Charging Hybrid technology - that couples an ultra-efficient 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with a powerful electric motor - the ES 300h delivers 218 DIN hp/160 kW of power and fuel consumption from just 5.2 l/100 km. And because the ES 300h operates approximately 50% of the time in zero emissions EV mode, you can expect significantly lower CO2 emissions (119 g/km) than conventional petrol- or diesel-powered executive sedans.

HIGHLY EFFICIENT 2.5-LITRE PETROL ENGINE

The 2.5-litre petrol engine incorporates fast-burn combustion technology that makes it one of the most thermally efficient engines ever built. The result is more power without increasing emissions or fuel consumption. Features that help achieve such impressive results include straight intake ports, increased valve angles and laser-finished valve seats. A variable capacity oil pump, multi-hole injectors, VVT-iE on the intake valves also contribute to the engine’s world-class performance.

5-STAR NCAP RATING / 10 AIRBAGS

On its launch, the ES 300h was named both ‘Safest Large Family Car’ and ‘Safest Electric/Hybrid Car’ by Euro NCAP. Innovative technologies such as Lexus Safety System +, that includes an advanced Pre-Collision System, contributes to its class-leading Euro NCAP 5-star rating. Extending its safety performance even further, the ES has a comprehensive shield of ten airbags as standard. These include driver and front passenger airbags and knee airbags, side airbags front and rear, and curtain airbags covering all side windows.

LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM +

The ES 300h’s Lexus Safety System + (LSS+) incorporates a pioneering Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection at night and bicycle detection during daytime. In addition, advanced safety systems like Intersection Turn Assist and Emergency Steering Assist, take ES 300h safety to an even higher level.

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM

Capable of detecting oncoming vehicles and pedestrians during daytime, the Pre-Collision System can detect pedestrians at night and bicycles during daytime. To achieve this, the camera sensitivity and dynamic range help reduce accidents in the dark, for example, when a pedestrian in front of an oncoming vehicle is difficult to see due to the vehicle’s lights. Furthermore, the millimetre wave radar detection area angle is wider, enabling bicycles to be detected during daytime. If the system judges that the possibility of a collision is high, the ES 300h’s brakes are automatically applied.

COUPÉ-LIKE ROOFLINE, DARING FRONT GRILLE

You’ll immediately notice the daring front Lexus signature grille and triple LED headlights that add a provocative edge to an executive sedan that has style and sophistication written all over it. The bespoke character of the ES owes much to its sleek roofline, inspired by a sports coupé as much as a spacious sedan, accentuating the car’s low stance and enhanced aerodynamics. Distinctive wheels and Sonic Grey paintwork are the perfect complement to the smart sportiness of the latest ES 300h.

F SPORT                                                                                                                        

Provocation finds fullest expression in the thrilling ES 300h F SPORT, with its purposeful 19" wheels, exclusive front bumper design and jet-black mesh grille – a grille which took months to craft using complex 3D modelling techniques. Tempting though it is, this is not a car to sit back and admire for its contemporary styling. The F SPORT is to be appreciated on the open road. 

TRIPLE LED HEADLIGHTS                                                                                                    

These consist of three ultra-small LED units that deliver exceptional light distribution in an appealing design. Equipped with sequential turn indicators, they come with multi-weather lights to help maintain a good field of view in foggy driving conditions. When fitted with Adaptive High-beam System (AHS), the multi-weather lights reduce glare in foggy conditions at night.

DIGITAL SIDE-VIEW MONITOR 

The optional Digital Side-View Monitor system replaces conventional door mirrors with compact, external cameras linked to in-car monitors. This pioneering Lexus technology provides you with a better rear side view in all driving conditions, especially at night and when it is raining. Reducing or eliminating blind spots completely, the system adapts automatically to give an extended view when turning or reversing. The camera quality of this pioneering technology has been refined to deliver a more natural view both during the day and at night.

HEAD-UP DISPLAY

Vehicle data is projected in colour directly onto the windscreen. The Head-Up Display, measuring 260 mm x 97.5 mm, lets you check data like navigation commands, audio settings or safety features without taking your eyes off the road ahead.

17-SPEAKER MARK LEVINSON® PUREPLAY

The design architecture of the breakthrough Mark Levinson® PurePlay system was created to immerse driver and passengers in the most powerful, precise and pure audio experience yet. PurePlay leverages multiple technologies to provide outstanding in-vehicle performance: precision staging, world-class speaker design and placement, and unparalleled tuning and decompression technology. A total of seven Unity™ speakers are placed at shoulder height around the cabin, enhancing acoustics and creating a tonal synergy together with a large subwoofer (265 mm) underneath the rear window.
