Lexus ES Premier Takes Its First Stroll in Singapore
Get ready to feel the thrill of a brand‑new sedan. The Lexus ES just landed in Singapore, and it’s not just a pretty face – it’s a full‑blown trio of variants: the ES 250, the power‑savvy ES 300h, and the first‑ever ES 250 F SPORT in the city.
Why the ES Is a Big Deal
Think of the ES as the rockstar of Lexus’s lineup – it first stole hearts with the 1989 launch of the first‑generation LS flagship sedan. Fast forward 35 years, and the ES has sold more than 2.65 million units worldwide. In Singapore, it’s already the best‑selling Lexus sedan – not because the locals love the brand, but because the ES balances luxury and performance like no other.
What Makes the New ES Stand Out
- Sleek, Modern Design: Think clean lines, a bold grille, and a feel‑like‑you’re driving a future car today.
- Advanced Safety Galore: It’s packed with technology that keeps you safe and your peace of mind locked in.
- Unmatched Comfort: From the plush seats to ambient lighting, it’s a ride you’ll never forget.
Feel the Dreamy Drive
Every turn delivers a blend of efficiency (thanks to the ES 300h hybrid magic) and power (the F SPORT model’s extra punch). Whether you’re heading to work, cruising the city, or just steering a lazy Sunday, the ES promises refinement that feels almost magical.
Bottom line: The Lexus ES shows that a sedan can be more than just a sedan. It’s a driving experience, a luxurious escape, and, most importantly, the newest flagship Sneaker in Singapore’s car scene. Get ready to chase that dream – the streets are waiting for you.
Enhanced driving performance
Lexus Takes the ES Train to the Comfort Express
Forget stop‑and‑go driving – Lexus’s new ES is engineered to glide through every corner with the ease of a smooth jazz solo. The key to this effortless glide? Lexus Driving Signature, the secret sauce that keeps speed and comfort perfectly balanced.
What’s New in the ES?
- High‑rigidity suspension braces – think of them as seatbelts for your car doors, tightening the ride for a buttery smooth experience.
- Brake controllability improvements – especially noticeable in the ES 300h hybrid, where every push of the pedal feels as intentional as a coffee‑drinking marathon.
- Expanded brake pedal pad – gives you a stable base, so you’re not left wondering if you’re tipping over while braking.
- Increased rigidity overall – turns the whole car into a coiled spring, meaning fewer bumps make it into your journey.
Why It Matters
Those subtle changes mean you can switch between deceleration, steering, and acceleration without the aggressive jolt that used to feel like a roller coaster. It’s all about that smooth, “let’s just keep going” vibe that Lexus fans love.
So next time you hop into a new ES, buckle up—this ride is geared to keep the mileage high and the mood mellow.
Lexus Unleashed: Power, Choice, and Fuel‑Saving Finesse
Below is the low‑down on why Lexus isn’t just a pretty face—it’s a fuel‑friendly powerhouse with a touch of style.
Engine Essentials
Standard 2.5‑Litre VVTi: 203 hp & 247 Nm. Think a smooth, steady engine that gives you enough fire to keep the conversation lively.
Hybrid Boost
The ES 300h nudges that power up to 214 hp while offering 221 Nm of torque. It’s like adding a turbo‑charged espresso shot to your daily drive.
Transmission Choices
- ES 250 & ES 250 F SPORT: Eight‑speed automatic — sleek, responsive, and ready for everyday adventures.
- ES 300h (Hybrid): Conventional CVT—smooth as a meditation session, but with the extra efficiency sweet‑heart.
Fuel Economy Face‑Off
The ES 250 and ES 250 F SPORT both round off at 15 km/l. The hybrid? It steps up the game with an impressive 21 km/l—definitely the green glow‑stick of the lineup.
Whether you’re chasing horsepower, slick gear shifts, or the clean‑air brag‑rights, Lexus offers a slice of each in one package.
Elegant yet fierce exterior
The Lexus Luring Up a New Look
Keeping What’s Cool
Lexus decided to keep the “Spindle Grille” – the head-turner that stole the spotlight from the IS. It’s basically the “I’m a classy spy car” sign that no one can resist.
“L” – More Than Just a Letter
But the ES is giving the IS a makeover with a new, sleek L‑shaped grille. Think of it as a fashion-forward way to emphasize lateral flow – the kind of design flow you’d want for a spy on a mission, not the grid approach the IS stuck with.
Headlamps: From Compact to Killer
- New compact lamp units give the headlights a modern punch.
- They’re powered by BladeScan Adaptive Highbeam System (AHS) – a fancy way of saying the lights are smarter than your phone’s predictive text.
- Functionality? Check. Aggressive look? Check and check.
Why It Matters
The new upgrades aren’t just about eyeballs; they’re about bringing confidence to the road while staying whisper‑quiet about the “I’m useful” vibe.
Today’s Wheels & Colours
Standard Specs for the Executive Grade
For the Executive grade, you get 18‑inch wheels that’re a pure showcase of Lexus’ signature wheel design. They’re so sleek you might just see your reflection halfway down the road.
Gets Fancy with the F SPORT
When you pick the F SPORT, you’ll see a gloss‑black 19‑inch wheel that pairs perfectly with the front grille – basically, a shiny upgrade that screams “look at me!”
Colour Pop
Now you can tidy off two fresh, brand‑new colours:
- Sonic Iridium – a metallic tone cooler than a summer breeze.
- Sonic Chrome – silver‑slick and ready to glow on the open road.
Comfortable interior
Lexus Interior Gets a Make‑over
Picture this: Lexus upgraded its cabin like a designer retook a gym membership—spending an arm and a leg just to make you feel like you’re living in a plush hotel.
New Colors That Speak Louder Than Words
- Sumi Black and Dark Brown now paint the scene, giving the whole interior a touch of velvet‑lux.
- The F‑SPORT variant steps up the game with a white and flare‑red combo that’s all about swagger, resting on a bold black base.
Hadori Trim – A Wave of 3D Wow
The Hadori trim—think a rippling wave pattern—wraps the cabin, shifting its depth and color depending on where you’re looking. It’s like a 3D mirror that never stops surprising you.
Why It Matters
All these touches turn a simple drive into an experience.
- Comfort? Check. Luxury? Double check.
- The Hadori trim adds a bit of magic that’s both science and style.
Next time you hop in, you’ll feel the shift—like stepping from the ordinary into an Englishman’s dream, but with a splash of modern flair!
Lexus Gives Its Ride a Make‑over!
Ever feel like your car seats are a box of cardboard? Lexus decided that’s old news. The newest model sprinkles headroom, legroom, and a deeper recline behind the front, turning back seats into a comfort zone of the future.
Controls that Literally Put You in Charge
- Sunshades you can control with a swipe – no more accidental icicles on the dashboard.
- Audio mixing done the Lexus way: tap, scroll, and book your personal playlist.
- Air conditioning that knows what you need before you say it.
- A panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin, making the car feel like a skylight for your soul.
Spotlights on the Display Game
Lexus tweaked its touch display so that the driver’s arm feels like the star of the show. Swap screens with a flick of the thumb, no need to get up and look at the reader.
The 10‑inch HUD – Take a Tour of Your Fast Lane
Think of it as a leather‑notebook on your windshield: speed, navigation, gear shifts, and RPM both feel and look futuristic. Lexus puts the largest HUD in its class right on your dash, making speedometer looking almost too cool to lose track of.
Unleash Your Sound: Meet the 17‑Speaker Mark Levinson PurePlay System
Picture this: a room that feels like a concert hall, but without the pricey tickets. That’s the magic the 17‑speaker Mark Levinson PurePlay brings to your home. Think of each speaker as a tiny orchestra wall‑flower, tuned for the cleanest, most pure audio you’ve ever heard.
Why 17 Speakers?
- Massive Power: 17 loudspeakers mean more sound, more depth, and a punch that never fades.
- Precision: Each speaker works in concert, delivering crystal‑clear highs and thunder‑solid lows.
- Pure Audio: Less distortion, more clarity. Your favorite tracks should sound even cooler.
Positioning Hacks for Better Sound
Optically, the speakers hang at shoulder‑level—yes, that’s right—so they sit perfectly in the listener’s ear line. It’s like giving them a personal invitation to your brain’s listening alcove.
- Enhanced Acoustics: The angle and height give the sound a natural lift, making every note resonate just where it should.
- No Gaps: The spread eliminates dead spots, so wherever you’re sitting, the music arrives loud and clear.

A safe ride
Lexuss Gets a Safety Makeover: IS & ES Get New Tricks
Ever wondered how Lexus turns a regular ride into a safety superhero? They’ve rolled out a fresh bundle of features for the IS series and dropped a few extra goodies onto the ES model. Let’s dive into what’s new and why it matters.
Pre‑Collision System Gets a Mega Upgrade
- Left‑Turn Pedestrian IQ: The system now spots pedestrians with sharper accuracy when you’re making a left-hand turn.
- Early Warning & Assisted Brakes: It’ll shout a heads‑up if danger’s around and even nudge the brakes into action—think of it as a gentle friend nudging you to slow down.
Emergency Steering Assist – The Silent Partner
Got a sudden wobble on the road? This feature jumps in when the car senses a possible collision with a person or if the driver’s steering moves to avoid one. It’s like having a co‑driver who quietly nudges you back on track.
Bottom Line
Lexus is not just adding features; they’re turning ordinary journeys into safer, smoother adventures. Whether it’s the IS’s smarter pre‑collision tech or the ES’s extra assistance, you’re getting more protection without the extra customer support call‑out.
Lexus Just Turned Safety Into Super‑Power Mode
Ever felt the panic of accidentally slamming a parking brake? Lexus has you covered with Parking Support Brakes that quietly stifle the damage from those fearless parking collisions that happen when you misread the pedal.
Behold the “Panoramic View Mirror”

AHS: BladeScan Now Has a Blade‑Better Turn
