The world seems to have gone mad lately, and the frenetic energy has caused much stress for everyone. Step into the updated Lexus ES and experience motoring bliss that calms the soul.
The styling of the ES is modern, but not over the top or “out there.” It relies on sleek, long lines to provide flow to the long wheelbase and sedan proportions. It doesn’t stand out in a crowd, but it features a design philosophy that won’t age quite as rapidly as some other cars. During the launch of the updated ES range in the Western Cape, we got to sample all the offerings on some of the best driving roads SA has to offer. Despite spectacularly volatile weather with high winds, pelting rain and ominous vistas, the ES felt like an asymptomatic Covid-19 patient while in mandatory isolation — completely undeterred and safe. The cabin barely allows in any noise.
The 300h EX and SE spec also feature a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, but it is helped along by an electric motor to up combined power to 160kW. The continuously variable transmission that sends power to the wheels does a great job and suits the ES to a tee. The combination with the electric motor makes the 300h a much better car to drive in traffic and general low speed situations. Both engine options will reach 100km/h in around 9 seconds.
