Pre-Collision System
When the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera sensors detect a vehicle ahead, a pedestrian during the day or at night, or a cyclist during the day*1 and determine that a collision is likely, it alerts the driver and activates pre-collision brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If the driver cannot depress the brake pedal, it activates the pre-collision brakes to help avoid a collision or mitigate the impact force.
Interior Design
The interior provides a comfortable, human-centered space. Controls in the snug cockpit have been laid out so that drivers don’t need to change their line of sight or posture, while passengers enjoy a calm, relaxing space with ample legroom.
Multi material body
The ring-shaped body structure helps to reduce body torsion. A V-shaped brace behind the rear seats contributes to coupling rigidity for excellent stability. In addition, body rigidity is enhanced by the extensive use of advanced technologies including laser screw welding and structural body adhesives. Optimizing the use of hot-stamp and high-tensile steel in key body components also reduces weight while contributing to excellent collision safety.
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.
Power rear seats
The reclining power rear seats provide up to 8° of recline to create an even more relaxing space.
Trunk-through
Trunk-through functionality enables the carrying of longer items that won’t fit in the trunk.

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. In addition, the shock absorbers on both the front and rear suspension incorporate swing-valve shock absorbers that respond to even minuscule movements, to provide an exceptionally flat feel when starting up, as well as excellent straight-line stability when driving at speed.
Panoramic View Monitor
To help check areas surrounding the vehicle that are difficult to see from the driver’s seat, the system shows a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle in real time on the 12.3-inch or 8-inch EMV displays, using a composite image taken by cameras mounted on the front, sides, and rear of the vehicle.
Overview
After six generations of unprecedented success in the entry-luxury sedan category, the next-generation Lexus ES is forging a new, more ambitious path. Long known for its unparalleled comfort, refinement and luxury appointments, the seventh-generation ES builds on its strengths with an all new chassis that allows for a more dynamic exterior design and the introduction of the first ES F SPORT.
