Lexus ES
The midsize luxury sedan from Lexus is now available for the first time in F SPORT trim. It also gets better brakes and a more rigid chassis for sharper handling. That’s not all: the Lexus Safety System+ has been upgraded and the infotainment screen is now touch-sensitive for more user-friendly operation. You can still order the ES with a V6 or hybrid system, not to mention a four-cylinder engine combined with all-wheel drive.
