The ES is one of the most well-known sedans in the world and it has played a crucial role in Lexus’ history. When the manufacturer made its global debut in 1989, it was also one of the first automobiles to be presented with the LS model. The ES has steadily grown into a contemporary executive luxury sedan over the last few decades, as seen by its seven generation cycles. However, Lexus has introduced a revised ES in India, with two models starting at Rs 56.65 lakh (ex-showroom). We’ll tell you all you need to know about this new luxury sedan right here.
Design

The ES also has triple-beam LED headlights with BladeScan and Adaptive High-Beam System for the first time (AHS). There is also V-shaped daytime running lights with sharp points. Lexus has also produced new elegant 18-inch alloy wheels for the saloon, which provide a sophisticated touch to the vehicle.

A seven-inch TFT digital instrument cluster and a slightly inclined 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen are included in the interior. Furthermore, Lexus has added a layer of glass to the new ES to increase the operation of both screens.
Taking the next step Lexus has included electric assist and heating features in the back seats, in addition to electrically adjustable front seats with heated and ventilated functions. The front co-passenger seat, however, may likewise be adjusted forward or rearward from the back.
