SmartAccess

SmartAccess features sensors that “know” when you have the keys. Just grab the door handle and it unlocks automatically, no need to fumble around in your pockets.

High Intensity Discharge Headlamps

Or HID, these headlamps are energy efficient; allow vastly improved visibility, at the same time without distracting other drivers with ultra bright lights shining in their face.

The Glass Ceiling

Not always a bad thing, this particular glass ceiling is available in some models and allows all of your passengers, front and back, a panoramic view of the sky.

Cruise Control with Dynamic Radar

Not only does your ES know what speed to maintain, it can maintain a specified following distance with Radar enabled sensors. Stay just the right distance behind the car in front of you.

Improved Foglamps

Lexus motto is you should be able to see no matter what is going on outside. Upgraded foglamps offer even better visibility in the fog and other less than ideal driving conditions compared to previous models.
