From the world-class luxury amenities inside to the state-of-the-art innovations outside, discover what makes the ES and first ever ES hybrid a stunning work of technology.
Among its exclusive touches, the ES Hybrid offers sustainable bamboo accents, including steering-wheel trim that is bowed from a single piece and sanded by hand.
The genuine contrast stitching that accentuates the elegant lines of the dash represents more than a mastery of design. Stitching the material so that it lies flat along the contours requires tremendous skill, patience and a test so unique that only 12 craftsmen in the world have been deemed qualified.
Offered exclusively on the ES 350, espresso bird's eye maple accents are selected by hand for consistency throughout the cabin.
As innovative as it is comfortable, seating can be trimmed in available denim-resistant leather, semi-aniline leather or a unique Eco Friendly material called Lexus NuLuxe. This material is lighter than genuine leather and its manufacturing process generates no VOCs and 65% fewer CO2 emissions.
Making the most of the additional space provided by an extended platform, the rear seat offers generous headroom and enough legroom for passengers to easily cross their legs. And, to help reduce unwanted glare, rear-side window sunshades and a power rear sunshade are also available.
A longer platform and a sleek front seatback design provides class-leading rear-seat legroom.
Available carbon heaters warm the front seats faster and more evenly than conventional wire heaters. And, for optimal comfort, they offer three unique settings.
Located where your hands naturally rest, an available heating element continually monitors and adjusts the heating levels to maintain a set temperature.
To help melt the snow and ice from your windshield during those cold winter mornings, an available windshield deicer features embedded heating wires around the edge of the windshield.
The Ultra Luxury Package features world-class luxury in every direction-even overhead. Offered exclusively on the ES 350, a panorama glass roof provides a broad swath of light to rear-seat passengers.
All seats are trimmed in available semi-aniline leather and the front seats can be adjusted 10 different ways. The driver's seat cushion can also be extended at the press of a button, providing added thigh support.
To help reduce unwanted glare, the ES offers manual rear-side window sunshades and a power rear sunshade that can be operated at the push of a button. For added visibility, the shade temporarily lowers when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
Accentuating the lower edge of its wood accents, available ambient lighting adds intrigue to the ES cabin's contemporary design.
With the ability to hold more than 15 cubic feet of cargo on the ES 350 and more than 12 cubic feet on the ES Hybrid, the ES is ready whenever you are. And, whether you're headed to the market or the airport, a concealed hinge design provides unimpeded clearance for your cargo [*], making it easier to load and unload.

High-tensile steel and lightweight aluminum components are paired with additional bracing and optimized weld points for added rigidity and more precise handling.
New opposite-wound front coil springs help improve straight-line control while new rear-suspension geometry helps provide better agility and overall control.
A longer wheelbase offers a more striking stance, generous cabin space and provides additional legroom to rear-seat passengers.
Whether you're looking for added exhilaration or taking a relaxing drive through the neighborhood, Drive Mode Select enables you to make your ES more responsive or efficient with the simple turn of the switch.
In ECO mode, a calming blue light surrounds the gauge cluster while the throttle response and engine power output are moderated for increased fuel efficiency. The climate settings are also optimized by periodically activating recirculation mode to reduce ventilation loss and using the heated seat function for more efficient warming.
Sport mode changes the gauge cluster lighting to a fiery red and alters the powertrain for faster gear changes and more dynamic throttle mapping. In the ES Hybrid, the Hybrid System Indicator is also replaced with a tachometer and the electric motors' voltage is boosted to the maximum, helping to improve acceleration response
Featured exclusively on the ES Hybrid, EV mode enables you to drive for short distances at low speeds on battery power alone. Because the gasoline engine is not engaged, no fuel is consumed, noise is minimized and emissions are eliminated.
Normal mode provides the optimal balance of fuel efficiency and engine performance.

Introducing the first-ever ES Hybrid. Providing impeccable refinement, an extended rear valence and exclusively available bamboo trim, it offers the finest in luxury. But its captivating design is only the beginning. It also features a better fuel economy rating than most subcompact cars and has earned the stringent SULEV emission status.
While the sleek lines of the ES may appear to be shaped by the wind, it's actually the other way around. Innovative measures were taken to redirect airflow closer to the body, contributing to a remarkably low coefficient of drag, improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise and vibration. Combined with structural design enhancements, the result is a ride that's as smooth as it is engaging.

Available Lexus Enform [*] and Safety Connect® [*] offer more than the convenience of live, 24-hour navigation assistance and the peace of mind of knowing emergency services can be requested at the press of a button. With the App Suite [*], you can use your ES to make dinner reservations and order movie tickets on the fly.
With available Fuel Prices [*], you can search for stations by price, brand, distance or grade. And, once you make a selection, it can display the destination on your navigation screen.
Available NavTraffic™ [*] provides real-time traffic information, including speed, estimated travel time and can reroute you to avoid accidents or construction.
Available NavWeather™ [*] provides continuously updated local weather reports, five-day forecasts for specific cities and can even automatically alert you of severe weather ahead.
Available Sports and Stocks [*] offers access to the schedules, scores and news of your favorite sports teams, as well as personalized stock quotes and related information.
Creating the pristine three-dimensional sound of the available 15-speaker, 835-watt Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound Audio System [*] didn't happen by chance. Lexus and Mark Levinson engineers worked hand-in-hand from the initial sketch of the ES to plan, develop and place every component for the most accurate reproduction of the artist's original recording possible.
Backing into or out of tight spaces is much easier with the available backup camera [*]. Place the vehicle in reverse, and the view from a small camera located above the rear license plate is displayed in full color on the multimedia display. To assist with parking, guides indicating the vehicle's width and orientation are also displayed.
Without removing the key from your pocket or purse, SmartAccess [*] can sense your approach, illuminating entry points from the exterior puddle lamps to the interior lighting. You can unlock the doors and trunk with the touch of your hand. And, with the available remote keyless entry-linked memory system, the ES can detect which of the two supplied keys is present and recall the seat, side mirror and steering wheel positions to that driver's preprogrammed preferences.
A USB jack conveniently located in the center console offers complete control of your iPod™ [*] and charges the device as you drive. Lexus Bluetooth® [*] audio technology goes one step further by offering the added convenience of wireless control of your compatible player's entire music library and the ability to stream audio from websites wirelessly.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio [*] offers more than 130 channels of commercial-free music, world-class news, exclusive entertainment and talk, and more than 5,000 sporting events per year. Best of all, you'll enjoy the same digital channels wherever you drive, coast to coast.
Gracenote® [*] lets you use voice commands to search your music collection by artist (including nicknames), album, genre or the year a song was released. You can also use it to search for similar styles and create mixes on the fly.
With HD Radio™ [*], you will experience CD quality sound on FM stations and improved, crystal-clear reception on AM stations. Like the song that's playing but don't know the artist or name? You can easily tag songs for consideration the next time you connect to iTunes® [*].
Accidents can happen anywhere, from parking lots to major highways. Fortunately the ES offers ways to help you prepare for both.
While an ordinary crash test dummy can provide 119 data points, Lexus uses digital models comprised of millions. The result of this innovative approach to safety: a class-leading 10-airbag system [*] and an available Pre-Collision System [*] that, in some cases, can automatically apply the brakes to reduce impact speed.
More than 30 digital models and multiple prototypes were created and crash-tested in the development of the ES upper body. By pairing additional reinforcements with increased bracing areas, stability and handling are enhanced and the roof structure is strong enough to withstand an impact load more than three times its own weight.
A thicker, redesigned cowl connects the left and right suspension for added rigidity and more dynamic handling.
High tensile strength steel components help to disperse impact force from one side, across the roof, to the other side where it is effectively absorbed.
Rear reinforcements offer enhanced stability and can help the driver maintain a more consistent path on uneven roads.
To help provide added visibility for drivers, even those not in an ES, available intelligent high-beam headlamps [*] offer added illumination when the road ahead is clear and temporarily switch to low-beam when they sense another vehicle ahead
