Deliveries of the new ES 300h
have already been scheduled across the country, over the next three months,
with each car being delivered in signature Lexus style - arriving on a flatbed
with a full tank of fuel, and delivered in an event crafted by Lexus based on
their knowledge of the guest.
The new ES has a longer and
lower stance with distinctive design elements starting with the latest
iteration of the brand's signature spindle grille. The design takes inspiration
from the LC coupe and LS flagship and
adds individual cues that are unique to the ES, like the vertical grille
pattern. This theme is repeated at each corner of the bumper to give the ES a
wide look that promotes strength and stability. Slim LED headlamps, distinctive
L shaped marker lights and sharply chiseled LED tail lamps give the ES an eye
catching appearance. In profile, the ES has a dynamic yet fluid shape, made
possible by the GA-K platform. This design flows from the low hood line, to the
long and uninterrupted shoulder line, culminating in the sharply slanted
C-pillar.
A wide range of nine colors
make up the exterior paint palette, including a new shade of beige, designed
specifically for the ES. This shade, called Ice Ecru, was designed to mimic
golden light reflecting off fresh snow. The interiors of the ES feature four
color schemes, and three types of trim, including a new Rich Cream interior,
that offers a striking contrast to the deep brown dash and roof trim. The ES
also offers two shades of Shimamoku wood trim (black, and brown), as well as
light-colored Bamboo.
The ES 300h is powered by a
Euro 6 compliant new hybrid electric system coupled with a {our-cylinder petrol
engine that delivers a mileage of 22.37 km/1 and a combined 160 kW of total
power. Comfort and convenience is
delivered by the console mounted climate and audio controls along with the
heated and adjustable semi-aniline seats, and the longer wheelbase, which
offers extended legroom for all passengers. The redesigned ES features a
refined and tranquil in-cabin experience, which enriches the audio from the 17
speaker Mark Levinson Pure Play system. The ES 300h also features 10 airbags.
Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Control, and an Anti-theft system, with
break-in and tilt sensors.
