Lexus ES Facelift: Lexus recently unveiled the facelifted ES luxury sedan at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show, with updates that brighten up its appeal. The revised design makes some subtle but impactful styling differences to enhance the car’s elegance. Added sophistication has been achieved through advanced lighting signatures integrated into the headlamp clusters for a more modern appearance. Additionally, the front bumper sports a freshened up design to augment the updated grille pattern.
While in the rear, the ES boasts a connected taillamp setup, a design choice where it intends to live life on the dynamic stance. The improvements go beyond looks as the interior layout now prioritizes comfort and functionality. Inside the cabin, Lexus emphasized a premium experience by thinking into upgrades.

The climate control settings integrate into this system, allowing for reduction in physical buttons to less crowded layout.
Electrically adjustable driver and passenger seats are now standard, making for greater personalization and comfort. Ventilated front seats enhance comfort levels on long drives. Lexus also added ambient lighting for a sophisticated cabin ambiance.
