Overview
- The new ES moves to the TNGA‑K platform and grows substantially, stretching about 165 mm longer with an 80 mm longer wheelbase than the outgoing model.
- The exterior adopts a sharper look with Z‑shaped DRLs, a cleaner closed front fascia in place of the spindle grille, and a slim full‑width rear LED light bar with illuminated ‘LEXUS’ lettering.
- The cabin shifts to a minimalist, tech‑centric layout featuring a 14‑inch infotainment touchscreen with OTA updates, a 12.3‑inch digital cluster, an optional Mark Levinson audio system and an electrochromic panoramic roof.
- Lexus Safety System+ brings ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control, driver monitoring, blind‑spot monitoring and lane departure alert.
- Hybrid variants are expected to lead the India range, while the globally offered full‑electric ES remains unconfirmed for this market; rivals include the Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class, BMW 3 Series LWB and Audi A4.
