Although we’ve been showering you with details on the new 2013 ES, sometimes it’s helpful to do a little show and tell.
As you can see, Lexus engineers gave the model both a new look and a new stance: it’s got a lower profile, and it looks a bit more aggressive. The big news, of course, is that the popular model now has a hybrid option, the ES 300h.
Plus there’s plenty to ask your dealer about when the car becomes available for test drives in August. Among the noteworthy 2013 ES technologies: an available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). It operates like its name would suggest: the Blind Spot Monitor helps detect vehicles in side blind spots, while the RCTA system alerts the driver to rear cross traffic when backing out of a parking spot.
