“The new ES was developed with the aim of redefining the sedan. Traditionally structured with three distinct sections – engine or motor, cabin, and trunk,” said Lexus International Chief Engineer, Kohei Chiashi. “The sedan offers key engineering advantages, including high body rigidity and a low center of gravity. These attributes contribute to the model’s exceptional ride comfort, handling stability, and quietness, forming the foundation of the sedan’s enduring appeal. Building on these strengths, the new ES further evolves the sedan by combining a functionally rooted, flowing silhouette with a spacious interior―achieved through thoughtful design and packaging innovations. With the newly developed TNGA GA-K platform, the new ES supports both HEV and BEV powertrains, offering a wider range of electrified vehicle choices while contributing to the realization of a carbon-neutral society. In addition, nearly every aspect of the vehicle has been reexamined from the ground up, integrating a range of advanced technologies. Through these efforts, the new ES delivers a fresh and unprecedented sedan experience unlike any sedan previously seen from Lexus.”
