On Thursday 1 October, Lexus of North Shore opened its doors for a special evening to introduce the all-new Lexus ES, welcoming more than 50 invited customers to discover it.

Held at our Wairau Valley showroom, the evening was designed to offer more than a traditional vehicle launch. Guests had the opportunity to see the new ES up close, explore its design and technology, and meet with our team. Most importantly, they could share their impressions and ask questions in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
For our team at Lexus of North Shore, evenings like this are particularly special. While the arrival of a new model is always exciting, what matters most to us is the opportunity to spend time with our customers and better understand what they value in their vehicles and in the wider Lexus experience.
The ES has long been appreciated for its refinement, comfort and exceptionally quiet drive. This latest generation builds on those qualities with a more contemporary design, a spacious and beautifully considered interior, and a choice of hybrid and battery-electric powertrains.
That choice reflects the changing needs of today’s driver. At Lexus of North Shore, we recognise that every customer is at a different stage in their journey towards electrification. The new ES provides the flexibility to choose the powertrain that best suits an individual's lifestyle, driving patterns and expectations, bringing a personal dimension to the ownership experience.
The new ES also makes a strong visual statement. Its sleek proportions and distinctive design, inspired by the LF-ZC concept, give the vehicle a fresh, contemporary character while retaining the understated sophistication synonymous with Lexus.
Technology is another important part of the new ES experience. This includes Lexus Connected Services – a first for a Lexus model launched in New Zealand. Designed to make ownership more convenient and reassuring, it is another example of how these services demonstrate how Lexus continues to evolve around the needs of its customers, with features intended to support everyday life.
However, as enjoyable as it was to introduce the technology, design, technology and performance of the new ES, the highlight of the evening was seeing our customers’ reactions and hearing what captured their interest.
The conversations, thoughtful questions and genuine enthusiasm throughout the evening reminded us that the Lexus experience is ultimately about people. Our relationships with our customers are at the heart of everything we do at Lexus of North Shore, and being able to share an. Sharing this important new chapter in the Lexus story with them, and hearing their perspectives first-hand, was a privilege.
The all-new ES marks an exciting step forward for Lexus in New Zealand. We look forward to welcoming more customers to Lexus of North Shore to explore its design, discover its technology and experience it for themselves.
