In China, when it comes to the value retention rate of car models, we have to mention the Toyota brand. In the field of high-end luxury cars, we have to mention the Lexus brand owned by Toyota. A few days ago, the domestic value-preserving car and Lexus ES officially released the 2023 new model overseas, which has been upgraded mainly in terms of intelligence and configuration. Production will officially begin in August this year, and global deliveries will begin in October.
The official pictures released this time mainly show the two models of ES300h and ES300h F Soprt Design. The overall styling design is not much different from the current ES. Although the Lexus ES is positioned as a luxury mid-to-large sedan with relatively strong administrative attributes, its design has many sporty details. The shape of the front grille and headlights are quite sharp, and the body lines are also very dynamic. In addition to the overall visual experience Besides being dignified, there is also a bit of wildness.
In the interior, the main change of the 2023 Lexus ES is to cancel the "Remote Touch" touch panel that has been used for many years, making the cup holder larger, and the design of the armrest box has also been changed. At the same time, the new car also follows the mainstream and changes the charging interface on the car to the currently popular USB-A and USB-Type C, and the position of the wireless charging board has also been adjusted.
In terms of configuration, the new car adds a wireless Apple CarPlay function, which can make itinerary plans based on road conditions, traffic conditions, parking information and other information in advance on the system, making the function more practical.
In addition, the new car is also equipped with the "Hey Lexus" in-vehicle voice assistant. The driver can answer calls, control the audio and video system and air conditioning system, intelligent network search, and supports spoken command recognition through voice control. It also supports European regions. 19 languages, which can be regarded as adding some new highlights to the intelligent performance that is not outstanding.
In terms of power, the 2023 Lexus ES is still equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine +THS hybrid system combination, matched with an E-CVT gearbox. The fuel economy of this powertrain has been highly praised. The owner of the Lexus ES300h near me said that it can easily run about 900km on a tank of fuel. However, the power performance of the Lexus ES is not outstanding. It is mainly light and fast, and the speed is not rapid. If there is a need for long-term high-speed driving, the fuel economy performance will be compromised. Everyone should consider it according to their own needs.
