This feature-rich vehicle is designed for guests who value driving performance, comfort, and safety, while aspiring to be part of the new ES family. The sedan offers key advantages such as high body rigidity and a low center of gravity, contributing to exceptional ride comfort, handling stability, and quietness. With a flowing silhouette and a spacious interior achieved through thoughtful design and advanced innovation, the new ES further elevates the sedan experience. Built on the newly developed TNGA GA-K platform, the model expands Lexus’ range of electrified vehicle options while contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions, ultimately delivering a fresh and unprecedented sedan experience. ‘”
