All-new 2023 Lexus ES 350 Platinum arrives Nigeria as luxury sedan with innovative features

The Lexus ES 350 has long been a popular luxury sedan in Nigeria. It is also the brand’s best-selling model in the country’s automotive market. Many Nigerian youths consider the ES 350 their first car after the Toyota Camry.

The latest seventh generation of the Lexus ES dominates sales in the premium midsize sedan segment, beating competitors such as the Acura TLX, Cadillac CT5, and Kia Stinger with its aspirational design, spacious and luxurious cabin, well-equipped features, class-leading fuel economy, and value-for-money.

Since Toyota’s premium brand was established in 1989 until the early 2000s, the RX crossover SUV remained the brand’s best-selling model. Today, the midsize sedan is the third best-selling Lexus model after the midsize RX and compact NX SUVs.

Changes to the Lexus ES for 2023 include the following:

• New Lexus Interface infotainment system
• Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring
• New centre console with improved storage and functionality
• New dedicated F Sport Design and F Sport Handling trims for ES 350 and ES 300h

What you should Know about the New F Sport Handling Trim

The new F Sport Handling trim is now available exclusively with ES 350 and ES 300h models. This trim adds to the cosmetic exterior appearance upgrades of the F Sport Design trim, which includes a black mesh-style grille, a more aggressive-looking front fascia, black-finished 19-inch alloy wheels, and a deck spoiler. Additionally, the F Sport Handling trim also includes features and hardware that were previously optional with the Dynamic Handling package. The following are the standard features:

• Added Sport+ and Custom drive modes
• Dash gauges that have an LFA-style movable centre ring and a selectable g-force meter
• F Sport heated and ventilated front seats with added lateral bolstering
• F Sport heated, leather-trimmed steering wheel
• F Sport Hadori aluminium trim and black headliner
• F Sport aluminium pedals
• Leather-trimmed F Sport steering wheel
• Leather-trimmed shift lever
• Active noise cancellation
• Performance dampers
• F Sport-tuned active variable suspension

With the F Sport Handling trim, the standard adaptive dampers of the variable suspension serve a dual purpose. They improve ride quality over rough roads and decrease unwanted body roll during cornering and fore/aft pitching under hard acceleration or braking. Various sensors measure variables such as g-loads, vehicle speed, steering angle, brake pressure, and more. This information is then used to adjust the damping of each shock absorber independently to any of its 650 settings. The result is a suspension system that can alleviate the impact of broken pavement, potholes, ruts, and speed bumps in real time while maintaining overall control and stability that are suitable for a luxury sedan.
