Default ES350 as a right hand drive

Hi, I was wondering if Lexus manufactures the ES350 as a right hand drive. I have browsed through several lexus country websites and it seems they only sell ES350 left hand drives to countries such as U.S., UAE, etc. It is also not available in Japan or Britain. I know that it is manufactured at Kyushi plant in Japan. I would really appreciate if someone has absolute information regarding this as I want to import two ES350 right hand vehicles to India and the Indian law allows the car to be only imported from country of manufacture and it has to be a right hand drive vehicle.

Look on lexus.com for an 800 phone number under "contact us". I'm sure they'd be able to answer your question. Good luck.

No, no RHD models to my knowledge. ES is mainly for the American market. The IS and GS can be had in LHD.

I read somewere that there will not be any right-hand drive due to the way the center console meets the upper part of the dash.

The above photo is for a GS350 if I am not mistaken. By the way does a GS350 come with a center screen even if we do not take the navigation package.

Yes, it has a center screen with or without NAV.
