The interior

The interior is designed to blend a driver-centric cockpit with spacious and comfortable areas for the passengers. The 2022 ES features an updated Multimedia System and an available Navigation System.

Multimedia and navigation system

Standard on the new ES is the 8.0-inch and an available 12.3 color multimedia display that now features touchscreen functionality, in addition to the remote touch interface, for intuitive driver and front passenger interaction. Lexus moved the display forward by 4.3 inches to give the driver some more space and ease of control.

Additional interior updates for the 2022 model year include a streamlined instrument panel design that embraces seamless cabin integration.

Safety systems

The new ES features an upgraded Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 as standard equipment on all trim levels. This is one of the most sophisticated systems available now and it helps to provide additional safety to the driver and passengers.

The Pre-Collision System (PCS), which includes Frontal Collision Warning (FCW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection, and Bicyclist Detection, features an enhancement to the lens camera and millimeter-wave radar elements to expand the response range. A new update to the PCS on LSS+ 2.5 includes Intersection Turning Assist. At intersections, the system has the capability under certain conditions to recognize an oncoming vehicle when performing a left-hand turn, or a pedestrian when performing left and right-hand turns, and is designed to activate typical PCS functions if needed. Additional new PCS functions include Emergency Steering Assist (ESA), which is designed to enhance vehicle stability and help prevent lane departure as cued by the driver during an emergency evasive steering maneuver.

All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) can be activated above 30 mph and is designed to perform vehicle-to-vehicle distance controls down to 0 mph and can resume from a stop. DRCC also includes a new feature that allows for the smooth overtaking of slower vehicles. If traveling behind a vehicle going slower than the preset speed, once the driver engages the turn signal, the system will provide an initial increase in acceleration in preparation for changing lanes and; after the driver changes lanes, the vehicle will continue acceleration until it reaches the original preset driving speed. LSS 2.5+ adds Curve Speed Reduction, which can automatically reduce vehicle speed, if needed, through certain types of curves.

Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/ SA) is designed to help notify the driver if it senses an inadvertent lane departure at speeds above 32 miles per hour via steering wheel vibrations or audible alert. It can also take slight corrective measures to help keep the driver within the visibly marked lane. When DRCC is set and engaged, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) is designed to provide a slight steering force to help steer to the center of the lane to assist the driver with staying in the lane using visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle. LTA alerts the driver with a visual warning and either an audible alert or steering wheel vibration. In the new ES, the lane recognition performance, which makes LTA possible, has been improved with enhanced recognition of line and road edge, lateral G performance, and enhanced control and stability after a lane change. With LSS+ 2.5, LTA receives improved course recognition and can track the paths of nearby vehicles in adjacent lanes for greater lane-centering capability.

Additional carryover features include Intelligent High Beams, which detect preceding or oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and low beam headlights to help provide greater visibility. Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to acquire certain road sign information using a camera and navigation maps when data is available and displays them on the multi-information display (MID).

The exterior design

Aside from the interior updates, the model also received exterior updates which include a new grille pattern on all trims, excluding ES F SPORT. A new mesh pattern emphasizes the vehicle’s elegant design with a series of concentric “L” shapes that radiate from the front Lexus emblem, all finished in a new Graphite paint. A redesigned standard bi-LED headlamps with dynamic auto-leveling.

The wheels

Standard wheel on the 2022 ES is the 17-inch wheel that features thicker spoke ends that are layered in “V” formations to produce a sporty impression.

A larger 18-inch wheel is also available on Base and Luxury trims, also received an update, it now features a split 10-spoke designed with two-tone Black and machined finish for a clean and sophisticated look.

Also available is an additional 18-inch five-spoke alloy noise reduction wheel that’s designed for Luxury and Ultra Luxury trims.

The F SPORT models get exclusive 19-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with a new Black finish that accentuates the model’s sporty exterior.

Lexus Driving signature

The 2022 ES builds on the strides made with Lexus Driving Signature on IS and IS 500 with additional performance updates including rear suspension member brace to further enhance torsional rigidity, handling stability, and ride comfort.

2022 LEXUS ES F SPORT Specifications
