I like the fact that they added ambient lighting.. although i am a bit dissapointed about the interior.. they could've designed the interior better by making it look like the LBX. But oh well.. there is always sacrifices
Not a fan of the new grill, it feels too bare - the previous grill was better. Big question is when a completely new model is coming, this 7th generation model is already 8 years old. I've driven a 2023 model and it's a nice car, very quiet inside. Although while it feels good it still reminds me of a fancy Camry, or what the Camry should be. In Australia, the ES is dominating the private limousine / hired car / premium taxi market - easy to see why, it's ultra reliable, hybrid version has excellent fuel economy, it's quiet inside and resale value is good - perfect for that role.
I suspect there will be substantial updates (more than displayed here) for the US 2026 ES350. This seems more of a minor refresh rather than a redesign. Otherwise, I'll take the 2025 ES with the V6.
Mid facelift huh. Well, you can't expect too much I guess. Japanese manufacturers are stingy with their updates. I hope chinese cars get their reliability up and show the japanese some competition.
@@shinrasenpai33 Honestly isn’t much to fix with lexus, currently driving the previous model (going on 12 years now), and honestly couldn’t be happier. This seems like a pretty good update to me.🔥🤝🏾
if this is the spec that comes to Indian market, good luck selling any units at all. this is a face-lift at best when the market is asking for a next generation. truely disappointing as to how Lexus is conducting its business and loosing its customer base. SAD
The new grill is a step down, but not a deal breaker. It’s the interior dash where it really is a let down. Ambient lighting is nice!
@@fiftysteps I also consider the previous grille looks better.

Ambient lighting is nice!
Thanks for the video
Toyota and Lexus are built solid.
好好看，设计很协调，内装就是日式高贵风

Bigger screen with no physical buttons is a downgrade in quality.
the interior dash is so outdate man
Genesis is better
Besides the last-gen tech and cheap plastics, the Camry, I mean EX is a great car! 😅
I don’t like the 2 colors interior I hope it’s not for other markets
@@iDriveiWalk jokes on you. It's called ES
Wow.
Grill looks meh... headlights look weird and out of place, and a bit too radical, not in character with the ES, sadly.
In typical Japanese fashion, if it ain't broke don't fix it
❤❤❤

Even Mazda salon looks more luxuous now... and they offer new gen 6 cylinders, Lexus goes down... 🫤

You think of yourselves too highly. The Indian market is irrelevant.
Still looks cheap asf
It's awful
