- Driving experience is inspired by the likes of a sports coupe
- Offers a unique design standpoint with its bold exterior, especially up front which tapers to the sports coupe-like rear end
- Dynamic taillights double up as a rear spoiler to contribute to the UX aerodynamic qualities
- Development of the UX was led by first female chief engineer of Toyota Motor Corp, Kako San.

- Power is derived from a 169hp 2L engine that is mated to a unique transmission, which offers a mechanical first gear to move from standstill and then transfers over to a CVT system for the rest of the gears to achieve a quieter, more efficient drive
What's in the new Lexus ES
- The 7th generation of Lexus' ES executive sedan
