Why?
the 2019 ES300h in India gets all these options we in the US are denied
Really
I would pay extra
1.power fold side mirrors
2.rear heated seats
3.rear power reclining seats
4.digital controls in rear console
5.rear passenger power forward front seats for legroom
6.lighter colored front dash and seats we only can have black or brown dash
7.passenger side front seat memory
8.3 zone ac/heat w rear controls
9.rear console audio controls
10.Music temp seat all controlled from back seat and we get nothing for same price
my ultra luxury 2019 ES300H is 54k some of you do not care about the back seat but I do care because I like to get every option and on occasion go out with other couples for dinner and when they ask do I have the heated seat I do not like saying no only up front.(I want to empress them and myself with my purchase) I wish I was in the Avalon at that point which offers the heated seat. it just doesn't make sense to me not why in the US we are denied luxury options in a luxury car by Lexus.
did you guys notice any more

This is the same for the last gen. At least give us the power folding mirrors!

I can see why they omitted numbers 2-5 from your points for the US market; Simply, the ES350 will never be used as a car you get chauffeured around in here in the USA. That's what the LS is for.

However, I can NOT understand why they would take the damn auto power folding mirros out....I'm so pissed at that..

Nice to watch them fold but what does that really accomplish unless you park in really tight spots?

SuperMido

Nothing! Just like you said; nice to see them fold. Lol. It just adds to the luxury look and feel of the car. At-least in my opinion. And since the whole world gets it, even on the base model, why couldn't they have included it here too?

Mike728

It keeps them out of the way, when careless people walk past your car. It's much more convenient than folding them in manually.

Power retracting outside mirrors should have been an option for the American market. Poor planning by Lexus...

mikemu30

I'm shocked they're excluding that now. My crappy 2014 Hyundai Azera has them

we always get the short end of the stick. we always miss out on cool features that exist elsewhere on these.

The power folding mirrors are something I used to think I would never use....until i got a car with them. Definitely something that should have been included years ago on the ES.

bc6152

I just don't understand the reasoning behind offering useful and luxurious options in one market but not another. Seems that most of those options would add to the bottom line on cars.
And here in America there are a lot of the ES models sold. Probably the largest market in the world for ES cars.

Still no folding power mirrors on the new US ES? Mine is a previous-gen global export model, a base spec one with no memory seats but it still has power mirrors, driver's seat extender and HID headlights.

I updated line 7 to 10

Mike728

They removed the passenger seat memory in the new model?

pgiinc

Yes they did remove the passenger seat memory it is no longer included in the Ultra Luxury ES model
