Natnut 3rd Gear April 13, 2021 Share April 13, 2021 During the latest unveiling of new Lexus tech, they showed a Lexus ES with 2 separate electric motors, one in each rear wheel. They called it Direct 4, because this car is essentially All Wheel Drive. An electric motor/ ICE engine powering the 2 front wheels and the 2 separate rear electric motors powering the 2 rear wheels. Apparently that made the AWD ES handle very well. This facelift could be incorporating the Direct 4 technology. Which means an ES350h with maybe 250+ hp and AWD. Could be a decent sports sedan with the added handling of AWD and added power from the electric motors. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to do Michelin but I was thinking as long as it’s not Korean or china tyres we should be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaysia cut corner because their BMW, Merc and Volvo "made in Malaysia" thus need to be price competitive , if they use full SG spec the selling price will need to be much higher Edited October 16, 2021 by D3badge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup because I see overseas F sport spec are high too, normally same as our Luxury spec just a little variation difference. think our luxury spec different from MY F-sport is Semi-aniline leather, Mark Lenvinson , back seat centre console Full Spec control (Air con, Entertainment system plus can adjust seat incline to 8 degree more). One more main difference not mention alot by many people is if you wind down the SG Luxury spec windows vs SG Executive spec windows, you will see double gaze windows for luxury spec! yes literally 2 pieces of windows sticking together. You can see and touch from the top when the windows wind down!! this help the sound proofing. Edited October 16, 2021 by D3badge 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat_slayer 4th Gear April 6, 2022 Share April 6, 2022 Just got my ES250 Executive a couple of days back... chose the non-hybrid version as i prefer the moonroof that comes with blackened roof and shark fin antenna. Initial feel is that this car is super spacious and comfy but slow (although i already know when test drive). Had done more than 500 km since. Anyone had upgraded the stock speakers? From specifications, it has a 10 speaker system but I feel this is the ES250 non-luxury version's weakest link. Why Lexus no apps to monitor vehicle status, send GPS location like the BMW??? Also, the display seems unable to display Chinese characters..... 😁 ↡ Advertisement 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
