Lexus also continues to supply the expected array of ordinary driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning.
Last redesigned for the 2019 model yr, the ES shares the TNGA-K platform with the version of the Toyota Camry introduced for the 2018 model yr. The updated 2025 Toyota Camry is now available only as a hybrid, so perhaps Lexus will go in an identical direction with the ES within the near future.
