We all need a sanctuary, a break from everyday stress, from work and routine. The world says you have to step out of your comfort zone to experience magic. But sometimes a comfort
zone is where amazing already exists. A flagship reimagined. The Lexus ES merges traditional grace and elegance with future vision, without compromise. Emotion has been harnessed and
reflected in a brave new design that is lower, wider and sleeker, a sedan that has adopted a coupé-like silhouette. The seventh generation Lexus ES ushers in an era of performance, made
possible by the all-new GA-K (Global Architecture-K) platform and mirrored by design that stirs the soul.
THE EXCEPTIONAL BODY RIGIDITY ALLOWS FOR INCREDIBLE DESIGN FREEDOM, RESULTING IN DESIGN
THAT HAS THE CONFIDENCE TO STAND OUT.

Performance is about feelings, about the intense stirrings of your
senses, of your being. The Lexus ES range places all available
performance in the driver’s hands for an intimate experience. It is
performance that can be heard and felt.
The Lexus ES 250 uses a four-cylinder, 2.5-litre petrol engine to
produce a maximum of 152kW of power at 6600rpm and 243Nm
of torque at 4000-5000rpm, and can achieve a top speed
of 210km/h. An eight-speed automatic transmission with AI
(Artificial Intelligence) shift control, maximises driver enjoyment
and comfort, while still maintaining a combined fuel consumption
of 6.6 litres per 100km.
The Lexus ES 300H uses only 4.6 litres of petrol per 100km,
and produces absolutely no emissions in Electric Vehicle mode.
The advanced petrol-electric hybrid system uses the breakthrough
Self-Charging Hybrid system for maximum efficiency. Combined
maximum power from the 2.5-litre petrol engine and the
nickel-hydrogen battery system is 131kW at 5700rpm, and
combined torque is 221Nm at 3600-5200rpm. An ECVT
(Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission)
drivetrain maximises both efficiency and performance.
Yoshiaki Ito, the Lexus ES chief test driver, explained: “We want
every kind of driver to feel a sense of complete control when they
are inside the ES. It’s a level of comfort that goes beyond merely
delivering a smooth ride.”

PRESENCE
The seventh-generation Lexus ES is designed for a passionate and emotional
connection, starting with a profile that is impossible to ignore.
The striking signature chrome spindle grille is a significant feature of the Lexus ES
appearance, a sculpted form that speaks of inherited architecture and meticulous
craftsmanship. It is the embodiment of provocative elegance, of finesse and
sophistication. As central to the design of the Lexus ES as it is, it is just one element
of the evocative design. Every curve builds from the grille and relates to the overall
design language. Athletic headlights and daytime running lights flow from the
spindle grille, emphasising the sleek lines of the three-dimensional front-end,
tracing the outline of the lowered roofline with the tilt and slide moonroof. From
the acoustic-enhancing front glass with rain-sensing window wipers, to the LED
tail-lights and high-mount brake lights, there is no mistaking the lithe silhouette of
the ES.
The Lexus Takumi craftsmen embody the quest for perfection by carefully
refining design elements, for exquisite holistic balance. Boldness is balanced with
elegance and innovative design characteristics are made possible by the new
chassis platform that allows the New Generation ES to be longer, wider and more
spacious than ever before, but with a sleeker and lower silhouette. The fastback
roofline captures the glamour of a coupé and emphasises the low stance, while the
interior roominess is all premium sedan.
Befitting its status as the leader of the range, the Lexus ES 300H is further
embellished with features such as colour-coded, auto-retractable side mirrors
that are memory programmable, dynamic headlamp levelling with LED Adaptive
High-Beam Headlights and 18-inch alloy wheels.

INTERIOR
THE
CRAFT
OF
COMFORT
The meticulous attention to detail of the Lexus Takumi craftsmen is evident in every inch
of the Lexus ES interior, having added a refined human touch to all aspects of the design
and development. In a physical manifestation of Omotenashi, the Japanese philosophy of
warm hospitality where your every need is anticipated and catered for, the Lexus ES offers
a personal comfort zone, an escape from the ordinary. Where other cars talk of luxury, the
Lexus ES embodies it.
The ES seduces you with details such as embossed stitching on semi-aniline leathertrimmed* seating and real wood trim* on the doors and steering wheel. The door panels
flow into the instrument console, creating a sense of spaciousness, and at the same
time placing all controls for the Lexus Navigation*, Multi-information display and Lexus
Premium audio systems within your grasp, while all driving related functions, as well as
those for communication, are controlled from the heated* leather-trimmed steering
wheel. For convenience, there’s a wireless smartphone charger* in the console box. Define
your own personal climate with automatic dual zone climate control (three-zone in the ES
300H, with a humidity sensor).
For further individual comfort, the front seats of all ES models have adjustable lumbar
support, seat heaters and are electrically-adjustable. In the Lexus ES 300H, the driver
seat has a memory function and heating extends to the rear.
At Lexus we understand that all passengers deserve the same levels of luxury, so special
attention has been given to the rear spaciousness and comfort, with quilted seats and a
more relaxed seating position. Rear passengers are welcomed by illuminated entry and
wider legroom, with ample interior storage space and a 420 litre luggage capacity.

THE ADVANCED PETROL-ELECTRIC HYBRID SYSTEM
USES THE BREAKTHROUGH SELF-CHARGING
HYBRID SYSTEM FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY.
Lexus is the defiant innovator of hybrid technology, and the ES Hybrid is proof of
that mastery producing nearly 70% fewer smog-forming emissions than
comparable petrol engines. The new generation hybrid system provides
outstanding efficiency and an exhilarating drive. The new hybrid transaxle
provides the lowest fuel consumption and highest driving performance in its class.
A Lexus-first Hybrid Acoustics silencer provides noise absorption and insulation
for further quietness in the ES 300H, while the compact and lightweight nickelmetal hydride battery (Ni-MH) is stored under the rear seat, allowing for more
luggage space.
One of our most advanced and efficient hybrid systems to date, the ES Hybrid
offers exquisite comfort and unparalleled reliability that can only come from
a Lexus.

THE COMFORT OF SAFETY
SAFETY
At Lexus safety is of paramount importance, which is why the new Lexus ES features the most advanced passive and active safety and driver support systems available. Fundamental safety
is taken care of by the anti-theft system, smart entry and start system, auto-door lock and child-locks, as well as all-round seatbelt warning.
A
COLLISION PREVENTION
The safety technology of the Lexus ES works to prevent collisions, with intelligent
systems such as Pre-Crash System* with synchronised braking as well as LaneDeparture Alert* with Lane-Keep Assist*, which warns the driver of an inadvertent
lane departure or potential departure due to swaying, and can even take corrective
measures to help keep you within your visibly marked lane.
B
SAFE CRUISING
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control* uses radar and camera technology to maintain a
pre-set speed and following distance from the vehicle ahead. If you get closer than
the pre-set distance, the throttle is automatically reduced and the brakes may be
applied. As soon as the road ahead clears, your Lexus returns to its pre-set speed.
C
ENHANCED VISIBILITY
Intelligent LED Adaptive High-Beam Headlamps* provide greater visibility for
you as well as other drivers. When the road ahead is clear, the system defaults to
high-beam mode, then temporarily switches to low beams when it senses the
headlamps or taillamps of vehicles ahead.
D
TOTAL CONTROL
An ABS system with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), combine with
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Hill Assist Control (HAC), and Traction Control
(TRC) for the utmost confidence behind the wheel. The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)*
and front and rear Park Distance Control (PDC) detect all-round obstructions
in adjacent lanes or when manoeuvring in to parking bays.
E
SAFETY FOR EVERYONE
For the unfortunate event of an accident, every Lexus ES is fitted with a
comprehensive suite of airbags: driver and front passenger front and knee airbags,
side and curtain airbags, rear outboard seat-mounted side airbags, as well as
two ISOFIX rear seat anchors.

This is the most technologically advanced Lexus ES ever, with traditional measures of comfort merged with cutting-edge technology for all-encompassing driving pleasure.
A
HEADLIGHTS - LED-ADAPTIVE HIGH-BEAM SYSTEM (AHS)*
Ultra-compact triple-beam headlamps cast a striking presence. The intelligent high-beam
system automatically switches from high to low beams when it detects vehicles ahead.
It’s a new approach to headlamp design, with unrivalled light distribution.
B
HEAD-UP DISPLAY (HUD)*
The largest-in-class high-resolution colour display projects critical information in the
driver’s field of view, allowing for maximum on-road concentration.
C
MARK LEVINSON 17 SPEAKERS SOUND SYSTEM*
The Lexus ES is a visceral experience of the senses, which is why a 17-speaker*, 835-watt
Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound Audio System* was developed specifically for
this vehicle.
D
REMOTE TOUCH INTERFACE
A smooth touchpad surface provides a smartphone-like operation for slick command of
the audio and navigation* systems.
E
PANORAMIC VIEW MONITOR (PVM)*
Keeping you in tune with your surroundings, the Panoramic View Monitor makes use
of a complement of cameras to view a composite image, even keeping you safer
around corners.
F
LEXUS NAVIGATION SYSTEM*
Providing convenient access to multimedia, climate controls and navigation, which
integrates with the cloud to give you up-to-date navigational information.
G
AIR CONDITIONER – AUTO-3-ZONE WITH HUMIDITY SENSOR*
The Auto-Three-Zone air conditioner monitors the temperature of three separate climate
zones and adjusts the ventilation system and the temperature of the front and rear seats
individually, so that each zone achieves its preset level of comfort for each passenger as
quickly as possible and at the touch of a button.
