Lexus ES New-Gen Sedan to Launch March 20 With 14-Inch Touchscreen, Hybrid and EV Options
New Lexus ES: Lexus is launching its new ES sedan in India on March 20th. This car will compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, and Audi A4 in the luxury segment.
The Lexus ES sedan is planning to launch its new model on March 20. The front of the Lexus ES has thin Z-shaped lights with daytime running lamps and indicators installed in them. The main lights are placed a little lower and are bordered by shiny black strips. Unlike the older model, the new Lexus ES does not have a large spindle-shaped grille, and in its place, a small air dam is installed at the lower end of the front.
The Lexus ES has strong lines on the sides, similar to the shiny black stripe installed on it. The vehicle also gets new alloy wheels. The Lexus ES has a thin LED light installed at the back, covering the entire width of the vehicle. The lower portion of the Lexus ES has an L-shaped design with chrome installed in it.
The interior of the new Lexus ES no longer features numerous buttons, but instead features a large 14-inch touchscreen. Most of the car's features are controlled from this screen. It features OTA updates, allowing the car's software to be updated from the internet at home, just like a mobile phone. The center console also features touch-sensitive buttons. The steering wheel still features physical buttons for easy operation while driving.
