Default Front camera

Just curious, do any of the options for the 2015 ES300H or 350 include a front camera. If not, any trusted places to get one fitted? I know they come with a rear camera. My Q7 has it and it's a great thing to have, I realize comparing the Q7 and ES is probably not a proper comparison though.

A front camera is not available, at least not in the USA. I had one on my HS250 and it did come in handy at times. I have not heard of any after market front cameras.

Hmm thats interesting, do you know if it's only the ES that doesn't have it? I'm thinking maybe the higher priced Lexus vehicles have it (i.e the ES and IS don't have it). i know all the Audi models have an option for front camera on 2013+. What year was your HS250?
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.
Lexus just started offering panoramic view camera on US-spec cars, but it seems like it is only on its newly redesigned SUVs: the RX and LX. It isn't an option for the sedans at the moment.

My HS250 was a 2010 model. It even had the advanced pre-collision system with attention monitoring. It watched my face to assure I was not looking away from the road if a collision was eminent. And, it had lane keep assist LKA. That nudged the steering wheel back into the lane if I drifted too close to the line. I wish all the HS options were available on the ES.

Interesting, well lets hope sedans, particularly the ES, are next

Wow thats impressive for a 2010. Don't know much about the HS and correct me if I'm wrong but it was a vehicle in the price range of a ES correct? Looks like something caused Lexus to shy away from those bells and whistles (maybe cost)!

Fully loaded, they called it the Tech Package, I believe it was about $47k USD so a little less than a fully loaded 2013+ ES UL model at $50k USD.
