Nope, it's hit-or-miss on the 2 front windows on the UL trim.

dammit. no wonder it's louder than I expected.
so the way to tell is that clear slight groove in the center right ?

It was a small minority that had them. See this thread:

FWIW you can buy the laminated windows and swap them out, fits just fine.

If part of your curiosity of the laminated windows is the excessive road noise, you may want to do what I will be doing soon, changing my current tires to quieter ones (Michelin). That would definitely help with the road noise.
Hope my two cents help.
Happy Holidays.

Just so I am clear, no 6th gen had dual pane glass as standard equipment? Looks like per this post, not even the Ultra Luxury trim had them standard?
Is it practical to have the dealer install the dual pane glass for any model year within the 6th (and possibly, 7th) gen? Reducing cabin noise is extremely important to me after a decade droning away on the freeway in my econobox, so this is particularly relevant thread for me!

Not all Lexus are sold in the US...not all readers of this forum live in the US. Different markets (US, Canada, Europe, Mid-East, Oceana, Asia) may have different packages and different options offered. As an example, my 2014 ES350 made in Japan ("J" VIN) and sold into the Canadian market does have the laminated front/side windows and they do NOT show up on the build list as an option. Since the car was a lease unit before I got it, (as it just came off lease with 118,00 km/70,000 miles), I highly doubt that the original lessee had them retrofitted, therefore one must believe that they did come as "standard".

It really is just luck of the draw for US at least. My lux trim came with tempered but I picked up both front laminated windows for $100 each. One from a salvage yard and one from someone parting out a wrecked ES. Very easy to swap them in, remove the door panel, remove the speaker, undo the 2 10mm bolts holding the window in, slide it out and slide the new one in. Bolts up with the same hardware and just put it back together.
