Luxury brand models, BBA is still dominating the domestic auto market, the rest of the second-tier luxury brands have declined, but there is such a Japanese car, its power is very meaty, acceleration has never won, but sales and heat have never lost, that is, Lexus ES, Lexus ES Overall price from 294,900 yuan to 488,900 yuan, the span is very large, the low-end version of Lexus ES benchmark Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi 34C, high-end version of Lexus ES benchmark Mercedes-Benz BMW, Audi's 56E, with its own strength in the luxury brands in the top three Of German, why such a model that is not even equipped with a turbo engine has such a high market sales and attention, let's take a look at it together.
In terms of body size, in addition to the Lexus 260 Sport model, the length, width and height of the Lexus ES are 4975mm, 1866mm, 1447mm, and the wheelbase is 2870 mm, which is a standard medium and large sedan size, in appearance, Lexus ES adopts a family spindle in the middle net shape, the front face uses an exaggerated front lip design, the two sides of the net are wrapped in chrome trim, the entire front face of the vehicle looks more sporty, why does lexus ES have oriental design characteristics? Whether it is Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi The entire appearance design is a scattered symmetrical aesthetic, and the Lexus ES headlights, chrome trim strips on both sides, plastic decorative panels are tilted towards the center, so that the visual center of gravity of the vehicle is concentrated in the center, in addition, the chrome decoration at the front and rear of the vehicle is also more refined, which plays an embellishment role, and the non-German car thick chrome plating deliberately creates a sense of refinement, and the rear part, Lexus ES uses a small tail wing and blackened taillights, and the through-type chrome trim is stronger in the sense of refinement. The whole look is very young, low-key and at the same time without losing the sense of refinement.
Inside the car, the Lexus ES interior gives people an atmosphere of elegant comfort, the door panels and the central armrest are a large area of soft material wrapping, and equipped with a meticulous seam design, in the executive version of the model equipped with the whole car multi-layer soundproof glass, rear manual sunshade, The central control screen is a 12.3-inch touchable screen, below is an independent physical button, the entire central control and air conditioning adjustment area using an asymmetrical design, giving people a guqin-style design concept, and the seat back waist has a certain convexity, for asian figure support is better.
Therefore, from the interior point of view, Lexus ES has more of a sense of refinement of traditional vehicles, a variety of mechanical buttons and interior layout is appropriate, different from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi using the very popular Dalian screen, chrome decoration design, this kind of chrome plating and screen design ideas can be done by any car company, Lexus is no exception, but Lexus ES did not choose to use this "surface kung fu" to decorate, but with traditional plastic and leather, but also to create a different quality and workmanship, the low profile brought by the whole vehicle , introverted characteristics are very in line with the character of the Chinese people, in contrast, the Korean car of TheGeniss in imitation of the German car design ideas, sales did not expect to grow, still tepid, on the contrary Lexus ES This slow work out of the character, more able to capture the oriental market.
And in terms of power, Lexus ES200 uses a 2.0-liter self-priming engine, the maximum horsepower is 173 horses, the Lexus 260 model is 2.5 liters of maximum 207 horsepower power, and starting from the Lexus ES300, it is a 2.5-liter self-priming engine with an 88 kW motor to form a hybrid model of oil and electricity, the gearbox, the whole series is equipped with a CVT gearbox, it can be seen that whether it is less than 300,000 yuan of Lexus ES200 models, or up to 480,000 yuan of ES300H executive version, the entire Lexus ES is the use of self-priming engines.
This also means that the positioning of the vehicle is not in acceleration and movement, the entire power output of Lexus ES is very smooth, can bring people a more enjoyable feeling, the entire throttle acceleration how much, the source of power is gradual, and zero hundred acceleration in 8 seconds to 9 seconds, compared to the same level of Mercedes-Benz, BMW often six or seven seconds can break the hundred overtaking, athleticity is indeed not as good as the opponent, but if in the city commuting and daily driving, Lexus ES is still very comfortable, The soundproof glass equipped with the whole car also isolates the external noise very well, creating a sense of luxury, and the chassis suspension is soft and comfortable.
Conclusion: Lexus ES appearance is more elegant and exquisite, compared to BBA's competitors and low-key many, in the second-tier luxury brand has a good sales, and in the interior, the use of traditional leather plus mechanical layout, but also to create a luxurious style, workmanship and material materials are not inferior to BBA, different from the design style of first-line luxury brands has become its biggest feature and selling point, and in terms of power, in terms of smoothness, economy and absolute acceleration has achieved a better balance, in the choice of models, Both household and business categories are available, so it occupies the head of the market segment and has become a product with good sales and popularity.
