New Lexus Launching This Month!
Luxury sedans remain desirable amongst businessmen. In fact, when you think of successful businessmen, you expect them to at least have one of the BMW or Mercedes sedans. But there is another sedan that goes under the radar – the Lexus ES.
What makes the Lexus ES stand out amongst its competitors is its low running costs. Thanks to its hybrid powertrain, it boasts a fuel economy of around 18-22kmpl, while its rivals struggle to come close in this regard. Moreover, the service costs are less than half of those of the Germans, while being more reliable overall. So if you are on the lookout for a luxury sedan and desire a stress-free ownership experience, look no further.
The next-generation ES will be launched on the 20th of March. While we have already had a look at what it would look like, the 20th will be the date when the pricing is officially revealed. It is expected to be priced between Rs 75 lakh and Rs 85 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). This pricing isn’t cheap by any means, but when you look at the price tag of the popular Mercedes E-Class, it is a bargain.
By the looks of it, it is distinctively Lexus. Despite the sharper cuts and creases, it retains the sophistication of a luxury sedan. Some of the other changes over the outgoing model include a longer wheelbase and revised front and rear ends.
