Concept

Is it possible to experience extraordinary joy in daily life? We created the new Lexus ES to do just that. To the regular tasks of moving you from place to place, it ads pleasure, comfort, and peace of mind, turning the routine into special experiences. The compact 3-eye Bi-Beam LED headlamps combine a beautiful, sharply-defined design with excellent light distribution.

Interior

Given the beautiful proportions, low center of gravity, and couple-like styling, you would never guess the spacious interior. It delivers an emotional design that excites occupants, while capturing the attention of people passing by. The L-shaped rear combination lamps reinforce the ES's Lexus identity. The three-dimensional design was engineered to combine high visibility with distinctive style.

Technology

Door Sill Protectors

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)

While driving the Lexus ES on highways and freeways, and on roads without white or yellow edge lines, LTA alerts the driver of possible lane or road deviations and helps assist steering to avoid them. If it determines the vehicle may deviate from the lane on a sharp curve or in other circumstances, it displays a caution and encourages appropriate steering inputs.

PKSA (Parking Support Alert)

PKSA in the Lexus ES detects stationary objects such as walls in the direction of travel, as well as vehicles and pedestrians approaching from behind while reversing, and alerts the driver on the displays and with a buzzer in the event that a collision is determined to be likely.

Pre-Collision System

When the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera sensor in the Lexus ES detect a vehicle ahead, a pedestrian during day or night or a cyclist during the day and determine that a collision is likely, it alerts the driver and activates pre-collision brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If the driver cannot depress the brake pedal, it activates the pre-collision brakes to help avoid a collision or mitigate the impact force.

Performance

3.5-liter V6 Engine

Delivering a sophisticated blend of exciting performance and environmental friendliness, Dual VVT-i in the Lexus ES contributes to high torque across the rpm range. In addition, the integration of advanced technologies such as D-4S which injects fuel directly into the cylinders at high pressure while optimizing selection of cylinder and intake port injection, further contribute to fuel efficiency.

Brakes

Engineered for excellent braking force, control and response, the brakes provide intuitive response to the driver's input, feeding driving pleasure by supporting exciting driving with peace of mind. In addition, the Lexus ES is equipped with an electric parking brake, further enhancing easy operation and driving enjoyment.

Multi Material Body

The ring-shaped body structure of the Lexus ES helps to reduce body torsion. A V-shaped brace behind the rear seats contributes to coupling rigidity for excellent stability. In addition, body rigidity is enhanced by the extensive use of advanced technologies including laser screw welding and structural body adhesives. Optimizing the use of hot-stamp and high-tensile steel in key body components also reduces weight while contributing to excellent collision safety.
