ES 2018 _Features Glass roof

The large glass roof lets in an abundance of light, adding to the spacious airy feeling in the cabin. It has three sections: the front acts as a wind deflector when the center is slid open, the center has a power tilt and slide function, and the rear is a fixed type. For safe operation during closing, the glass roof stops temporarily in a safe position, and requires a further press of the close switch to fully close it.

ES 2018 Performance Suspension

The geometry of the newly-developed McPherson strut front suspension was optimized to realize excellent steering response and turning stance, together with premium ride comfort. The arm positions on the trailing-arm double-wishbone rear suspension were optimized to smoothly handle uneven road surfaces, providing an excellent blend of handling stability and ride comfort.

ES 2018 Performance_Aerodynamics

Aerodynamic performance is seamlessly integrated into the elegantly-shaped silhouette so that air flows from the rear seats to the trailing edge of the trunk. Fins on the underbody cover and rear combination lamps reduce air resistance, contributing to the quiet interior and excellent fuel efficiency. The controlled air flow also enhances driving stability.

By combining the excellent response of the 2.5-liter L4 engine with a compact, small lightweight battery and sophisticated control capabilities, it delivers a smooth natural acceleration feel, responding instantly to accelerator inputs.

ES 2018 3.5-liter V6 engine

Delivering a sophisticated blend of exciting performance and environmental friendliness, Dual VVT-i (Intake side: VVT-iW) contributes to high torque across the rpm range. In addition, the integration of advanced technologies such as D-4S which injects fuel directly into the cylinders at high pressure while optimizing selection of cylinder and intake port injection, further contribute to fuel efficiency.
