The multimedia system includes Navigation services, and comes with USB Type-C ports. The new models also now come with a Nanoe-X negative ion generator that improves cabin air quality.
Even the classy light-emitting analogue clock on the dashboard has its own unique L-shaped graphics, while the meter has an electric movable metal ring with a 3D effect.
Also available exclusively in the ES250 F Sport is an F Sport leather steering wheel, dimpled leather-trimmed shift knob, and sporty aluminium pedals.
All three versions of the new Lexus ES 250 are powered by the same 2.5-litre DOHC A25A-FKS petrol engine producing 204 hp and 247 Nm of torque, which is paired to a Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the front wheels.
Capable of achieving a top speed of 210 km/h, the new Lexus ES 250 does the century sprint in 9.1 seconds.
Safety wise, all versions feature Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) as standard, which includes the enhanced Pre-Collision System (PCS), Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) with Stop & Go Function, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), and Adaptive High-beam System (AHS).
