Lexus India today launched the made-in-India ES 300h in the country and prices start at ₹ 51.90 lakh. Prices for the ES 300h earlier started at ₹ 59 lakh but now thanks to local assembly of the product, Lexus has been able to keep the price in check. The ES 300h is available in two variants – Exquisite and Luxury. The top of the line Luxury variant is priced at ₹ 56.95 lakh (ex-showroom India). Taking inspiration from the larger Lexus LS 500h and improving on the design bits from the 6th generation, the new Lexus ES showcases a very typically flamboyant design language.
