This is the... top end luxury interior?

I know these huge dual screens are mainly for the Chinese market. But they didn't even put in the effort to put the dual screens into a single housing and minimize the bezels. Instead they just put them side by side. Zero effort taken.

It is HUGE. 5.14m long that's almost as long as the LS. They truly consider this to be a flagship.

That interior is hideous

How does all of this keep getting worse and worse...

I like the front but.. what happened to the typical Lexus side profile creases? Looks more Chinese now. And that steering wheel without the logo is so bad.

7th gen ES is going to sell out by sunrise 😭😂

I'm afraid to know what the lower model interiors could look like.

Looks good, in and out. Good to know BEV concepts are being toned down significantly.

Wish it has Acura level of handling but at least it now offers DIRECT4, something the European AWD systems have had for more than a decade now. It's never too late to include these performance and traction enhancements.

These two photos are clear indication the LS (as we know it) is DEAD. They can deny it however they want, but a 5.14m long ES with the same wheelbase as the Century SUV just doesn't give me confidence the LS will live much longer.

That massive front overhang and yet they couldn't figure out how to have a frunk for the BEV model. It has enough engine compartment space to fit a longitudinal V8 in there. And because of the extra battery height now the seating position is like a SUV.

celery green and bamboo ... hmmm

 

[Gecko]

I do like the green pleather interior…

Edit: Lexus you're drunk, go home

No amber reflectors = some shred of hope there will be a different design in the US

This ES will be built at the Lexus Shanghai factory I'm assuming? With that in mind there's still hope the ES globally will look different?

It’s getting destroyed online…..
