The UAE market welcomes the brand-new 2019 Lexus ES thanks to Lexus’s UAE partner, Al-Futtaim. Al-Futtaim has a rich history of providing UAE customers with only the most comfortable and most luxurious vehicles and through the seventh generation Lexus ES it is going to further strengthen its roots.
“The first generation of this best-selling sedan debuted in 1989, and over the past 30 years, Lexus ES has evolved to constitute, thanks to its supreme quality and unbeatable dependability, a key staple in many houses and fleets,” said Mohamed Maktari, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Lexus.
The 2019 Lexus ES gets all the modern safety and entertainment features, an unbeatable coupe-styled design and an impressive performance peaking engine.
The ES has also received the much-needed inclusions to its lineup including the 300h hybrid sedan. The 300h runs with the help of a gasoline engine and two electric motors, delivering 24.1 km mileage in one liter of petrol while a full tank can last for 1,204 km, which is exceptional. Buyers will save 80% in terms of fuel and help save
to the degrading environment in the large UAE metropolises.
Other than the 300h hybrid, Lexus has introduced the 2019 Lexus ES F-Sport model for the UAE customers. This variant comes for buyers looking for a higher level of performance. This variant sports distinct styling cues both on the outside and on the inside.
Maktari also stated, “Lexus ES is the leading sedan in our line-up and one that constitutes over 70% of our sedan car sales. With the introduction of the new electrified variant, we expect the sales to spike as all institutions and individuals accelerate their efforts to reach the sustainability targets set by the UAE Government’s Vision 2021.”
The new 2019 ES 350 gets power from a 3.5-liter V6 channeled to a new 8-speed direct shift automatic transmission spitting out 301 horsepower, which is 11% more than the outgoing model.
