Videos: Inside the 2019 Lexus ES & ES F SPORT


The 2019 Lexus ES is ready for its turn in the spotlight, with the world’s automotive media currently driving the new model around Nashville ahead of its late-summer release at dealerships.

Here are four videos showing off the new sedan’s interior — three featuring Topaz leather and various trim options, and one inside the Black ES F SPORT:

NOOO! No AWD, well I guess they had to "cost cut" somewhere!

Why are they not showing regular interior trim in the US press release? That F-sport interior looks barren. How are they "redefining luxury" when they show an interior that is not luxurious at all? Someone is not doing their job properly. Show some wood!

The global version looks good.
Agree... can't see any detailing in the black FSport interior.

White F Sport with red/black interior looks amazing. Almost more like IS than ES or GS.

Looking forward to seeing more pics of the interior options to gauge design and quality.

Mon dieu! This is the most revolutionized car in the entire automotive industry. With something like the current ES, this new one, is simply fascinating. I have never seen a car changed so much in identity.

However I hate to be that one person though, and I probably share the same feelings as most people in this forum do, but there is no AWD. *sigh*

There's this thing with lexus, they make every F-sport version dead and bland from the inside, removing options and offering bad leather choices..
I always prefer the exterior look of the F-sport over the regular ones, but i very much hate the interiors of the F-sports..
Why can't they just use the same interior for the F-sport ? because honestly the dashboard looks dead in the F-sport trim...

I know some will say Mazda 6 rear but that is a good looking car so I have no issues with that. Stunned at how good looking this is and the proportions are fantastic. Loving the red interior. This does look properly upscale.

They have really fallen down on this one.

The GS better be refreshed!

but there is no AWD. *sigh*
Someone brought up a good point in the now locked speculation thread. Maybe no AWD at launch is to milk every last bit from current gen IS and GS. The only reason these still sell in meaningful numbers is that current generation ES has no AWD.

Next generation ES appears rather promising by looking “younger” and more sport-orientated. Should help open new opportunities for the next GS if any, IMO. But the fact that ES remains natively FWD means that this car - for the purists - will never be a bona-fide E-Class/5-er rival. But then traditional ES buyers don’t care about such thing.
