Overseas vehicles shown. Lexus ES 300h in silver and ES 250 F Sport in cobalt
mica.
NEW LEXUS ES 250
Lexus will build on the success of the seventh-generation ES luxury medium sedan by adding a new powertrain option when the new Lexus
ES arrives locally in August. The new Lexus ES will debut in Australia with a new ES 250 grade, complementing the increasing demand
for the petrol-electric hybrid ES 300h and satisfying a higher number of luxury customers drawn to its class-leading style, space and
refinement. This includes a focus on benchmark ride comfort and linear handling, new cabin ornamentation and trim, plus advanced safety
features standard across the range.
The ES 250 features a new 2.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers a strong 152kW of power and achieves
high torque efficiency with 243Nm. An eight-speed automatic transmission provides a short first gear for direct and immediate response,
plus a broad spread of taller ratios to provide the impeccable refinement at higher speeds demanded by Lexus ES customers.

with its focus on petrol-electric performance and incredible
efficiency.

LEXUS LF-Z ART SERIES
LEXUS PARTNERS WITH ARTISTS & DESIGNERS FOR NEW
LF-Z ELECTRIFIED CONCEPT CAR VIRTUAL INTERIORS SERIES
To celebrate the world premiere of the LF-Z Electrified, a
battery-electric concept vehicle symbolising the Lexus brand’s
next chapter, top footwear designer Salehe Bembury, digital
artist Ondrej Zunka and Japanese fashion label Hender
Scheme have created virtual interiors for the concept, with their
colourful imaginings reflecting on Lexus’s dedication to
accelerating its electrified future.
Conceived as a platform for collaboration, the LF-Z Electrified
Virtual Interior programme introduces a new approach to
design, a synergy between art, fashion, lifestyle, and technology
that challenges the status quo of the automotive space. The
hand-picked creatives exemplify Lexus’s principles of future-
inspired design, Japanese heritage and takumi craftsmanship,
and an enhanced human-machine connection. Lexus concept design.
Forgoing traditional notions of car design, while transporting the Lexus LF-Z Electrified
further into the future, one virtual interior was created by London-based 3D artist
Ondrej Zunka, featuring space-age mechanisms, sci-fi materials & multidimensional
hues that transcend time and space. “I wanted to make the interior feel as if it wasn’t
made by humans, but maybe designed by a sophisticated artificial intelligence. I wanted
to go past any known language & design concepts, and forget about what is usually used
in automotive interior design.” Translucent silicone seat cushions with memory foam-
like properties & a panoramic ceiling crafted from brushed chrome complete Zunka’s
hyper-futuristic vision.

Also showcasing in the series is US based award-winning footwear designer, Salehe Bembury, who is vice president of sneakers and men’s
footwear at Versace. His interior concept embraces the future with a nature-inspired design approach. His virtual interior blends a futuristic
aesthetic with organic materials alongside his signature use of bright colour.
“I want this car to feel like a seamless juxtaposition of machine and nature, making equal use of the machine function and the benefits of nature to
fuel and nurture the passengers on the journey to their destination,” says Bembury.
Bembury uses natural materials rather than futuristic ones, such as cedar, cork and granite, with colours inspired by sandstone landscapes and
other natural tones. These natural materials sit alongside textiles and patterns that reference Bembury’s background in trainer design, such as a
“hairy” suede used on the seatbacks and a signature fingerprint motif that is often found his work, applied to a personalised control panel.

The third of the virtual interiors saw a focus on the natural material
characteristics of leather by Tokyo-based fashion label Hender Scheme.
Hender Scheme was a natural choice to reflect Lexus’s Japanese
heritage and Takumi craftsmanship. For its LF-Z Electrified virtual
interior, Hender Scheme imagines an entirely leather interior juxtaposed
with the concept vehicle’s ground-breaking technology. The untreated,
organic material will develop a patina over time, deepening in colour and
becoming unique to each vehicle. The concept reflects the passage of
