TORONTO, ONTARIO – OCTOBER 28, 2020 – Envelop yourself in striking style and unforgettable luxury. The Lexus ES Series exudes elegance and delights you with exhilarating performance. For 2021, Lexus offers its popular luxury sedan with even more choice – including a limited production Lexus ES 350 Black Line Edition and three all-new, all-wheel-drive models.

“The Lexus ES series is a perennial favourite with our guests and this year we’re offering Canadians 11 model and trim combinations to make it even easier to find the perfect, elegant sedan,” said Robert Tsang, Director of Lexus in Canada. “Our exclusive Black Line Edition styling gives the ES 350 even more commanding presence, while three new models built around our Dynamic Torque All-Wheel-Drive system are ready to help guests tackle any weather and road condition with confidence and style.”

Artfully designed and exceptionally engineered, the Lexus ES Series is built using the Lexus Global Architecture K platform. This creates a more rigid body and lowers the centre of gravity to improve handling and reduce noise, vibration and harshness. The ES Series features a long, low, wide body and a dramatically slanted roofline to create a coupe-like silhouette. Distinctive Lexus grilles and headlights announce the ES Series’ presence, while the sharply chiseled rear features LED lamps that wrap around the quarter panels to create a continuous styling line when viewed from any angle.

Inside, the ES Series is modern, with a spacious cabin that rewards every glance and touch. The driver-oriented cockpit features instrumentation ideally positioned in the driver’s field of vision, while controls are placed naturally to hand. Materials and colour combinations are carefully selected to create the feeling of premium, hand-crafted comfort.

Under the hood, the ES Series features a choice of three powertrains, all tuned to create a profoundly responsive driving experience by balancing power, performance and efficiency. Powertrain choices include a front wheel drive V6, a four-cylinder all-wheel drive, and the advanced and efficient Lexus Hybrid Drive. All models feature Drive Mode Select systems to tailor the vehicle’s responsiveness and handling to the driver’s mood and the current road conditions, and suspension systems carefully calibrated to balance control and feedback with supreme ride comfort.

Every ES Series model is a technology showcase, featuring Lexus Display Audio systems with Remote Touchpad Interface, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a suite of Lexus Enform connected services.

As a Lexus, everyES Series model is impressively equipped with state of the art safety features, headlined by Lexus Safety System + 2.0. This portfolio of active safety technologies supports the driver’s awareness and decision-making under a range of traffic conditions and contingencies. Other safety systems include a backup camera with back guide monitor, 10 airbags, and vehicle stability control.

The 2021 Lexus ES Series lineup includes the ES 350, ES 250 AWD, and ES 300h.
