Right-Hand Drive Lexus ES Starts Arriving in Asia-Pacific Dealerships

Posted by Kevin on October 30th, 2013

After a five year hiatus, the sixth-generation ES has returned to the Asia-Pacific’s right-hand-drive markets, with the new model arriving in dealerships this week — as part of the new launch, the ES even received a police escort through Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia:

I found that also in all post Soviet specially my land Ukraine that the New ES priced higher than the New GS, which gives the room a lot for the GS, hope this means a true step to axe it

It never left our country Philippines so how can they say it returned to Asia-Pacific?

    I know I saw it, but they should have written it "returned to some Asia-Pacific Markets" because they're generalizing it. Many people doesn't know which countries have right-hand or left-hand drive vehicles.

    Very good point -- I rephrased the article to account for this.

It was planned to be assembled in Thailand but the project has been shelved after trial. It has to go to the end of the queue for March debut.

    interesting Information... More Lexus models needs to be built overseas - so i guess Thailand would be a good place for such a Project.

I don't know why Lexus didn't sell it sooner...the ES is popular amongst the ASEAN region and its people
