The all-new Lexus ES has been officially launched in Bahrain, Ebrahim K Kanoo (EKK), the exclusive distributor of Lexus vehicles in Bahrain, announced.
Building on the model’s longstanding reputation for quietness, comfort, design and premium quality, the eighth-generation luxury sedan combines elegance with electrified performance, delivering smooth, composed driving and a more spacious cabin.
Its ‘Clean Tech x Elegance’ design brings together refined sedan proportions and a calm, sophisticated interior, creating a welcoming environment for every occupant.
“We are pleased to introduce the all-new Lexus ES to customers in Bahrain,” said Lexus Marketing senior manager Ayman Shehadeh. “With the ES 500e joining the line-up, customers can experience fully electric Lexus luxury alongside the comfort, quietness and thoughtful technology that have long defined the ES.”
The new line-up offers a choice of electrified powertrains. The ES 350h pairs a 2.5-litre engine with hybrid technology for responsive performance and fuel efficiency. The ES 500e brings a fully electric option to the regional ES range for the first time, giving customers another way to experience the model’s quiet, composed character.
In the ES 500e, a large-capacity battery is positioned beneath the floor. Its low placement contributes to a lower centre of gravity, supporting stable vehicle movement while helping make efficient use of the vehicle’s architecture.
In addition, the model’s all-wheel-drive system works with Lexus DIRECT4, which continuously adjusts front-to-rear torque distribution in response to driving conditions.
By drawing on vehicle information such as wheel speed, acceleration and steering input, the system is designed to support traction and composed handling, which can help reduce unnecessary body movement through corners and during lane changes.
The all-new ES is 165mm longer than its predecessor, creating more room in the cabin and greater comfort for rear-seat passengers. A higher seating position supports easier entry and exit, while lower window lines improve outward visibility. Redesigned seats and enhanced sound insulation further contribute to a calm, comfortable interior.
Additionally, the cabin features a 14-inch multimedia display and discreet controls that illuminate as a hand approaches, while retaining the tactile response of physical switches. Lexus Safety System+ 4 provides driver assistance, and a new 3D view for the Panoramic View Monitor helps drivers check the vehicle’s surroundings when manoeuvring.
The launch of the all-new Lexus ES in Bahrain brings a new interpretation of the model’s enduring qualities. With a choice of hybrid and fully electric powertrains – including the ES 500e’s low-mounted battery and DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system – the new line-up combines electrified performance with the quietness, comfort and ease customers associate with the ES.
