Lexus ES Overview

Lexus ES captured from the front

With its streamlined design and luxurious interior, the Lexus ES series is sure to dazzle. This stylish sedan has an almost coupe-like profile and has been exquisitely designed for maximum comfort. The Lexus ES offers two engine options: the petrol model or a petrol-electric hybrid. Both incorporate the well-known Lexus competence in drive dynamics and responsiveness.

This front-wheel drive Lexus model is a great option for those in the market for a luxury vehicle that combines the environmental benefits of a hybrid without the fuss of having to plug it in. From the tip of the spindle grille to the sleek rear design of this elegant sedan, you can make everyday luxury.

Interior Of Lexus ES

The Lexus ES series is one of Lexus' most popular sedans. With a luxurious, high-quality look, the range offers many features and combines comfort and elegance in one. All premium ES models include advanced technical features such as Lexus Infotainment System Interface, which brings wireless connectivity to life, and Lexus Safety System +, an intelligent assistance software system with amazing features such as automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring and pedestrian detection.

The latest ES range is available in 3 models:

  1. The Lexus ES 250 EX
  2. The Lexus ES 300h EX
  3. The Lexus ES 300h SE

Lexus ES interior view

The Lexus ES hybrid appearance has been skillfully designed to look athletic and attractive rather than bulky and clunky. This medium-sized luxury sedan combines the convenience of a sedan with the glitz of a coupe thanks to its lower and more defined shape.

The serene interior of this vehicle is in sharp contrast to its elegant exterior. This saloon does a superb job of integrating the notion of elegance throughout the entire vehicle thanks to its numerous luxurious features. With power-adjustable front seats that can be adjusted to fit a variety of body types, the ES has more than ample inside space. The back seats, however, might be a little too small for three bigger people. The lack of foldable rear seats limits available cargo capacity.

The Lexus ES's spacious and luxurious interior makes it difficult not to feel at home inside this hybrid sedan. The experts at Lexus have been on a mission to find the ideal harmony between assertiveness and grace. It features a driver-centric display and buttons. Even the entry-level model in the ES range comes with adaptive cruise control and a cutting-edge infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Lexus ES Driving In City

The sophisticated technology has been designed to complement the features of this luxury sedan. A cutting-edge self-charging system is used by the modern petrol-electric hybrid system to maximise efficiency and reduce emissions from this vehicle. Due to the low-rev urgency, this luxury sedan makes for a smooth and relaxing drive, perfect for long journeys or unpredictable conditions of the road.

With its luxurious soft-touch finishing and dynamic coupe-like bodywork, the Lexus ES is designed for optimal elegance. This hybrid sedan gives you the impression that you are living in luxury for every trip in this luxury vehicle.

The Lexus ES range has been competitively priced, with the entry model, the Lexus ES 250 EX, retailing for R771 400 and the top of the range, the Lexus ES 300h SE comes in at R1 021 300. The Lexus ES's low operating costs may be its strongest point, especially if you use a corporate car and pay benefit-in-kind tax. If you were worried about lowering expenses, a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric car would be a wonderful choice. Fuel economy is also good for this luxury sedan, on par with its competition, the ES range targets individuals who seem to prefer more of a relaxing luxurious drive compared to a past-passed one.

Engineering Meets Luxury

New Lexus ES Model

The new ES is without a doubt Lexus' most technologically advanced version of their entry-level sedan. The ride is smooth, which is exactly what anyone wants on a long trip or when travelling to work on South Africa's less-than-ideal roads, even though smooth might not be what enthusiastic drivers think they want. This vehicle prides itself on delivering you to your destination calmly and prepared for the next step rather than energising you.
