Posher, sleeker 2019 Lexus ES will have Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa<\/h1>\n
2019 ES 350 F Sport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The year was 1989. Sedans were king. \u201cGame changer\u201d hadn\u2019t yet become a colossal clich\u00e9.
\nBut transforming the luxury car business was exactly what Toyota pulled off nearly three decades ago by launching its upstart Lexus division. At the tip of the spear: the first ES and LS sedans.
\nMore than a few industry observers and German luxury auto manufacturers scoffed.
\nThe laughs didn\u2019t last long, thanks to savvy consumers\/early adopters like Scott Gaidano.
\nAn entrepreneur and co-founder of DriveSavers, a pioneering data recovery service, Gaidano was also a passionate and fun-loving car guy. When we sat down at his office northern California office in 1990, Gaidano had a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and an EV1 electric vehicle he didn\u2019t want to surrender to General Motors. But the car he kept gushing about was his 1990 Lexus LS 400. Whether it\u2019s a hard drive or a luxury automobile, quality and mean-time-to-failure were crucial to the personable executive and Gaidano was certain that the Lexus experiment was here to stay.
\nGaidano passed away too soon in 2013 but not before he was proven right. And there\u2019s little doubt he would have been all over the tech offered with the seventh-generation 2019 ES, which gets Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa compatibility once the full ES line rolls out.<\/p>\n

Engineering<\/h2>\n

The front-wheel-drive ES is built on a new, stronger architecture that\u2019s similar to the chassis used in Toyota\u2019s 2018 Camry and 2019 Avalon.
\nThe 2019 Lexus ES gets a new multi-link rear suspension, new bracing behind the rear seat, electric power steering is moved to the rack and occupants sit lower and further back, lowering the center of gravity and help improve stability and steering accuracy.
\nThe ES and LS generated waves of accolades with their refinement and manners and over the years it\u2019s been a case of not fixing what isn\u2019t broken. But as competitors took heed and raised the sophistication of their sedans, the ES took its share of knocks from drivers who wanted more dynamic handling.
\nKeiichi Yoneda, chief engineer of the GA-K platform used by the new ES, set out to deliver more confidence and fun to the drivers of Lexus\u2019 bread-and-butter sedan.
\nYoneda\u2019s team\u2019s next-generation improvement plan included new shock absorbers and bushings, front stabilizer bar arrangement, and rear-trailing arms positioned higher to cut floatiness on braking. New \u201cdynamic control shocks\u201d adjust to conditions and reduce jarring of passengers\u2019 heads.
\nYou\u2019ll be able to compare both generations \u201cin the metal\u201d this fall, but it shouldn\u2019t be too big a surprise that the 2019 ES has grown. Compared to the outgoing 2018 ES, the 2019 is 2.6 inches longer, 0.2 inches lower and 1.8 inches wider.
\nIn fact, the 195.9-inch long 2019 ES specs out closer to the 1990 Lexus LS 400 flagship than the first ES 250. The 2019 ES 350\u2019s 113.0-inch wheelbase is 2.2 inches longer than the original LS, at 73.4 inches is 1.7 inches wider and weighs 3,649 pounds, 110 pounds more than the V8-powered LS. Bumper-to-bumper, the 1990 LS is a scant 0.8 inches longer than the 2019 ES.
\nRated at 302 horsepower, the V6-powered ES 350 is armed with 52 more horsepower, seven foot-pounds more torque and twice as many forward gear ratios than the first-generation LS 400 of yore.
\nLexus says the new ES will run 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds compared to 7.1 seconds for the outgoing sedan. Top speed is electronically reined in at 131 mph.
\nThe fourth-generation hybrid powertrain in the 2019 ES 300h delivers 215 total horsepower \u2014 176 from its 2.5-liter inline four, 14:1 compression ratio gas engine and 39 from its 29.1 kW battery powered motor. A smaller, lighter battery, power control unit and electric motor save weight and space and the nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery is under the rear seat, giving the hybrid the same 16.7 cu. ft. trunk space as the gas ES. (All ES models, however, lose the fold-down rear seat thanks to the added bracing.)
\nAccording to the manufacturer, the 300h sprints to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds and is all done at 112 mph.
\nLexus designers wanted a \u201cfast\u201d roofline and more aggressive stance. The hood is lower and the body is tweaked for better aerodynamics. Features like a full underbelly cover and wheel spats help reduce noise while enhancing fuel efficiency. The ES 350 hybrid and F Sport both come with a rear spoiler that helps the 2019 achieve a 0.26 coefficient of drag.
\nThe new ES incorporates snazzy headlamps and taillights thanks to modern manufacturing capabilities and flexibility of LED technology. As an alternative to the standard LED low and high beams, there\u2019s an optional adaptive front lighting system that incorporates triple-beam lights.
\nStarting around December, all ES versions should have standard AppleCar Play and Amazon Alexa. Lexus says about 80 percent of the initial 2019 cars to reach dealers will come with the optional navigation and the larger 12.3-inch screen and CarPlay. But cars without navigation won\u2019t have CarPlay built in until late in the year. At the start, Amazon Alexa will only work with Android devices but iPhone compatibility is promised. There\u2019s no Android Auto, at least for now. Lexus says it feels its own open-source platform delivers a similar experience.
\nIn addition to the voice-recognition, Bluetooth hands-free calling and media streaming, the 2019 Lexus ES will have a 10-speaker stereo designed for the ES that Lexus says delivers CD-quality sound from those compressed MP3. (And, yes, there\u2019s still a CD player.) The receiver comes with a 90-day complimentary trial to SiriusXM satellite radio. There are three USB ports if you\u2019d rather plug in your own playlists.
\nLexus\u2019 standard, comprehensive suite of safety and driver assistance technology is a compelling competitive advantage (high-speed dynamic radar cruise control with road sign assist, lane-departure alert and lane departure\/steering assist, just to name a few), but there\u2019s also a 10-year complimentary subscription to Lexus safety and service telematics that includes roadside assistance, automatic collision notification and vehicle health reports.
\nAll ES models will have power sunroofs, 10-way power seats (F Sports get sport seats with more aggressive bolstering), smart key with pushbutton start and 7-inch LCD driver information panel (F Sports get 8-inch screens). Besides leather seating and trim, nothing says \u201cupscale\u201d like soft illumination and the 2019 ES glows on that front with outside puddle lamps and coverage of the front and rear seats, driver and front-passenger foot wells and the start button.
\nIn addition to three tiered option packages, stand-alone extras include head-up display, panoramic sunroof, power rear sunshade, hands-free trunk opener, wood-trimmed steering wheel, navigation with the larger 12.3-inch color display and audiophile-grade Mark Levinson stereo.
\nWe sampled pre-production examples of all three 2019 ES models. Lexus is banking on the new F Sport winning over new, younger customers and the tighter suspension and more deeply bolstered seats (we wish Lexus would make them optional in the other trims) made the driving enjoyable.
\nHowever, we were more switched on by the hybrid ES. Not only did we see 44 mpg indicated on the dash \u2014 20 mpg more than the V6 models \u2014 the ES 300h was whisper quiet once cruising. Lexus added all sorts of extra insulation, including a special firewall layer, to address the whine that many first-timers to Toyota\/Lexus hybrids think may be a police or fire vehicle approaching from a distance. The only sour note was during acceleration. That four cylinder\u2019s exhaust note is not a happy sound.
\nWith its added horsepower and the electric motor, the ES 300h\u2019s performance is more than adequate but we can\u2019t help thinking a little exhaust tuning would have hybrid sales ringing.
\nThe Alexa feature, on the other hand, was sweet. It requires a compatible device and installed apps, but once dialed in, it was far easier to say, \u201cAlexa, play Adele\u201d and have tunes piped in hands-free than fuss with the cumbersome and distracting native infotainment interface.
\nAs elegance evolves, there\u2019s also a practical side to the new ES capabilities: from their living room or hotel room, drivers can use their smartphones to have Alexa perform tasks like reporting how much fuel remains in the ES tank.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Originally published by\u00a0SF Gate.
