Lexus India has launched the locally-assembled ES300h with a starting price of Rs 59.71 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). With the local production of the luxury sedan, India becomes the fourth country to manufacture a Lexus globally.
Along with the local production, the Lexus ES300h also gets a handful of updates to its feature list. Firstly, it gets a redesigned centre console that is aimed to improve storage and aid accessibility to different controls. The free-standing touchscreen infotainment system is now compatible with voice commands, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto whereas the boot gets an electric hands-free operation.
