Lexus Premieres New ES


  • Enhancement of the exceptional quietness and comfort that form the origin of the brand
  • Pursuit of linear response that is faithful to the driver's intentions for a driving sensation unique to Lexus
  • Evolution of the ES's elegant #design for an even more modern flair
  • Achievement of excellent preventive safety, such as through the adoption of the latest #lexus Safety System +

Lexus held the world premiere of the new #lexus ES today. The ES is a key model in the #lexus lineup, having first appeared with the launch of the first-generation LS flagship sedan in 1989. The ES has been well received by many customers around the world for its high level of quietness, high-quality ride comfort, and spacious cabin. Cumulative sales of the ES since its initial debut so far total approximately 2.65 million units in more than 80 countries and regions.

The new ES achieves further enhancements to superior quietness and ride comfort, which form the origin of #lexus, as well as further refinements to its high-quality overall comfort. As can be experienced through the comfort in the car's seamless connection between acceleration, deceleration, and steering in any driving situation, development pursued a linear response that is faithful to the driver's intentions. A proprietary #lexus method was employed to increase the rigidity of the rear suspension-member braces for superior steering stability in situations such as high-speed lane changes. Also, the adoption in the F Sport version of the new ES of a leading-edge adaptive variable suspension (AVS) system that uses a new actuator achieves both high-quality ride comfort and sharper steering response by reducing the damping force and expanding the variable range. Furthermore, actively employed in the new ES are advanced safety technologies, such as an evolved #lexus Safety System +, with the aim of enabling drivers to enjoy even safer driving. A newly designed front grille and newly designed headlamps, together with the use of a newly developed interior color, result in an overall #design that is more refined.

Lexus International Chief Engineer Tetsuya Aoki

"Our goal was to deepen the high quality of the ES and to add new value. In addition to further improving quietness and ride comfort, we pursued linearity in vehicle movement, in response to steering wheel operation, that is faithful to the driver's intentions. When it comes to styling, we refined the elegance that is characteristic of the ES, and we have created a new modernity. In development, to exceed customer expectations, we identified elements that could be improved, and we thoroughly raised every detail to the highest levels of completion. I would like people to experience by ride in the ES the thoughts of the development team, which closely adhered to the idea of 'Always On' with the aim of making ever-better cars."
