Lexus has announced the ES300h hybrid sedan is getting a safety boost for 2021.
Due in showrooms next month, all 2021 ES300h variants will come equipped with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert+ brake which will automatically brake if the system detects an oncoming vehicle from behind.
There is only one powertrain option with every ES300h using a 2.5-litre four-cylinder Atkinson cycle petrol engine and an electric motor to produce 160kW.
Drive is sent to the front wheels via a hybrid-optimised e-CVT automatic transmission.
Lexus claims the hybrid powertrain sips just 4.8L/100km on the combined cycle.
While Lexus Australia has opted to exclusively offer the ES as a hybrid, overseas markets still enjoy a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine.

The updated ES300h is available to order now with deliveries set to commence in November.
