Deliveries of the new ES 300h have already been scheduled across the country, over the next three months, with each car being delivered in signature Lexus style – arriving on a flatbed with a full tank of fuel.

Externally, the new ES has a longer and lower stance with distinctive design elements starting with the latest iteration of Lexus’s signature spindle grille.
ES 300h comes with nine colours options which make up the exterior paint palette, including a new shade of beige, designed specifically for the ES. This shade, called Ice Ecru, was designed to mimic golden light reflecting off fresh snow.
Under the hood, the ES 300h is powered by a Euro 6 compliant new hybrid electric system coupled with a four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers a mileage of 22.37 kmpl (company claimed), and a combined 160 kW of total power.
