Known for its unparalleled comfort, refinement and luxury appointments, the next-generation Lexus ES hits the road in the Philippines. The ES builds on its strengths with an all-new seventh generation car that is the gas-powered ES 350, which follows the latest design trends. The result: a longer, lower, and wider coupe-like silhouette, paired with a new platform and suspension system that provide more dynamic handling with intuitive responsiveness.
Here some things we love about this new luxury sedan from Lexus:
Provocative Design
Eye-catching inside and out, the Lexus ES is an elegant sedan, with bold design elements that will challenge the traditional expectations of buyers and captivate a whole new group of customers. A key element of the redesigned ES is the all-new Global Architecture – K (GA-K) platform, exclusively developed for this model, and which results in a lower sedan with wheels that have been pushed closer to the corners thanks to a 50 mm longer wheelbase and a wider tracks front and rear. In profile, the ES has a dynamic yet fluid shape that starts with the low hood line made possible by the GA-K platform. From there, the roofline remains low and sleek, giving a feeling of “smart, sportiness.”
Palette of perfection
A fresh color palate has been developed to give the car a different appearance depending on lighting conditions and time of day. Customers can choose among eight colors, including two new shades, the Ice Ecru and the Sunlight Green. The interior features four color schemes, three types of trims, and semi-aniline leather upholstery for the seats.
Interior motives
With a more spacious interior, the car blends a driver-centric cockpit with a larger and comfortable area for the front passenger. The interior features intriguing details that capture the essence of Takumi craftsmanship, such as the embedded depth and pitch of the stitches. In this comfortable and elegant ambience, passengers can have an immersive listening experience with the 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium surround sound system, which adds the new QLS (Quantum Logic Surround) sound technology.
Dynamic Responsiveness
The All-New 2019 Lexus ES is built to deliver a higher level of driving dynamics than any of its predecessors. It just feels responsive and easy to drive, no matter what kind of road it is on, and this has only been achieved with a solid foundation, the Global Architecture – K chassis. It has an exceptionally rigid front-wheel drive chassis, with reduced weight, resulting in better than ever aerodynamics. The new platform also reduces noise and vibrations, making the ride quiet and comfortable.
Powered up
The ES 350 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that is designed to deliver commanding acceleration along with impressive efficiency. Enhanced efficiency also comes with the direct shift 8-speed automatic transmission, a Lexus first. It is a key feature for smarter, sharper gear shifting. It automatically selects the optimum gear based on speed, acceleration and the individual’s driving habits.
The Lexus ES will be available starting August 14, 2018, at a range price of Php 4,308,000. Customers can book a test drive by clicking this link.
