Is there new Lexus Software Update for the ES?
I have the ES300h 2020 model. I'm wondering if there is new Lexus software update.
Lately I was driving the IS 2021 and the software there is much better especially the Lane Tracing Assist.

FYI regarding that chart just posted, here in Canada on the 2022 ES, LSS+ 2.5+ does include ALL-SPEED DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL WITH CURVE SPEED MANAGEMENT (DRCC) - that chart shows it doesn't exist in 2.5+. Perhaps it's a regional thing, I don't know.

yea I have seen it as 2.5+ features list for US too but not sure why this latest version of the chart has it this way. This is taken from a Lexus US brochure

Once Lexus has it all sorted out, (and as chips are available) I'm sure it will roll out to the other models as fast as Lexus can implement it.
It's definitely not just a software update.

Thank you guys for the advice! I have a yearly service in April. I will talk with the Lexus service guys. It sounds ridiculous that software that is the easiest thing to update, was not updated for 2 years.
I understand that some software changes may need hardware changes but I'm sure that the basic enhancements changes can be implemented with an update.

t's already sold, exactly in the condition it was originally when it sold.
Yes there is a warranty, and service after the sale, but any features that you want added, or are made available on later models, I assume Lexus would likely prefer to sell you another vehicle in a few years with new features.
Tesla is a software / computer company first, that assembles and sells vehicles. Tesla is starting to try and change this business model, by introducing a model, and then offering updates to existing owners, rather than update the newest version of the model. When was the Model S first offered? Has it been a decade?
I don't expect Toyota or Lexus to give away any new features to existing owners. This may change if Tesla can change the business model, but as of now, I don't see it changing any time soon.

Lexus sells vehicles and is a vehicle sales company. Once the sell it, their liability for any further software "updates" (or enhancements) is very questionable.

It is hard for me to believe that this is the treatment of Lexus customers!
As I said, I will Check with Lexus about this...

If this is the case, that is very bad for Lexus customers. I drove Tesla before buying the ES and I wasn't impressed by the interior and the driving quality.

Each manufacturer has its own strengths and weaknesses. I have 2019 ES300h and wish like the next owner about getting some major software updates. Unfortunately it isn't going to happen. Lexus is traditionally a very conservative company that is slow to change and with good reasons. They roll out new technology feature slowly after going through extensive testings and validations. They choose long reliability over bleeding edge. If you want latest edge technology you should go elsewhere.
