The seventh-generation four-door was updated by the Japanese in 2021 and 2022. But apparently this was not enough. This year Lexus ES is waiting for another light restyling. Such a machine will first appear in North America and then it will be the turn of other countries.
Sadly, the only design change is the new 18-inch wheels with Vapor Chrome finish. And of the innovations in the cabin – only the Technology Package. It includes a Lexus Interface multimedia system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a projection on the windshield, a voice assistant and a smart key. Most of this equipment was previously offered, but separately. Now the options are combined into one whole.
The range of power sources has not changed. Recall that the base here is a 2.5-liter engine with 207 horsepower, and the top one is a 3.5-liter V6 with a return of 306 forces. There is also a hybrid with 218 hp, but it is not popular everywhere.
It seems that the Japanese intend to make the most of the proven design. After all, the car has not fundamentally changed since 2018. You cannot wait that long, otherwise you can lose several markets at once. Competitors in the face of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class have already been seriously updated. So in Europe and the US, the “Asian” will have a hard time. In Russia, Lexus is also very sad for obvious reasons. If the new Lexus ES comes to us, then only via parallel import. There is no mention of past sales volumes.
