Lexus India has introduced the new generation ES 350h in the domestic market, with prices starting at Rs. 66.10 lakhs (ex-showroom). The luxury hybrid sedan is offered in two variants – Exquisite and Luxury – priced at Rs. 66.10 lakhs and Rs. 71.80 lakhs (ex-showroom), respectively.
The latest ES adopts a redesigned exterior with a sharper overall appearance. It features Z-shaped LED headlamps, slim connected LED taillights and electronic door latch releases, giving the sedan a more contemporary look than its predecessor.
Inside, the cabin follows a minimalist design philosophy. The dashboard is centred around a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complemented by a fully digital instrument cluster and a new three-spoke steering wheel. Lexus has also introduced updated interior materials and layouts as part of the redesign.
On the safety front, the ES 350h comes equipped with the latest Lexus Safety System+, which includes features such as a Pre-Collision System, all-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist. The higher-spec Luxury variant additionally offers a Drive Monitor function.
Powering the sedan is a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a hybrid system comprising a new eAxle, an integrated Power Control Unit and a newly developed lithium-ion battery. Lexus has not disclosed the India-spec power and torque figures at launch.
Customers can choose from six exterior paint finishes and two interior colour themes. Lexus is also offering an eight-year/2,00,000 km warranty covering both the vehicle and the hybrid battery, along with five years of roadside assistance.
In addition to the hybrid variant, the latest generation ES is also available with an all-electric powertrain.
